More sophisticated and realistic acting that comes with closer shooting style. Using subtitle to explain editing. Theme music comparison between higher class bourgeoisie and suffering lower class civilians.
Intercutting (cross-cutting) between stilltableauxof the poor in the bread line and the lavish, active parties of the wealthy speculator somewhat anticipates thecollision montagewhich became a hallmark of the politically chargedSoviet cinemaa decade or so later.
对比(suffering vs joy),moral issue, offscreen for the charater (the price increasing sign), hands of the tycoon when struggling. 沉重的步伐。expressive use of cross-cutting.

阶级剥削的雏形，从播种小麦开始，也从播种小麦结束，寓意这种不公平不会改辕易辙，格里菲斯对宏大题材的偏爱已经呼之欲出了。
中国电影课老师都是大忽悠，人云亦云，哪里是格里菲斯《一个国家的诞生》开创的平行剪辑，这部才是啊。三条线推进，耕作的农民，面包商店，资本家歌舞升平。by the way，面包店出现的那个小女孩，好可爱，真想穿越到1909年的美国，找到她。

7。分不清格里菲斯的短片哪部先哪部后了
最早的平行蒙太奇。贫富对比。首尾对照
多线叙事。一头一尾农民播种的画面是充满纵深感的景深镜头。格里菲斯的电影意识的确是超前的。喜欢最后资本家被自己囤积的财富（小麦）所吞没的画面。
对比(suffering vs joy),moral issue, offscreen for the charater (the price increasing sign), hands of the tycoon when struggling. 沉重的步伐。expressive use of cross-cutting.
