Intolerance
After the storm of controversy that followed "The Birth of a Nation", D.W. Griffith followed up with this profound comment on intolerance through the ages. Regarded universally as the first great masterpiece of the cinema, its influence can be seen in the work of directors as diverse as Eisenstein, DeMille and Coppola. "Intolerance" tells the story of love's struggle against intolerance. Set in four different ages, ancient Babylon, Judea, The French Revolution and The Modern Day, the stories interweave into a common theme of prejudice and hatred.
