Feb. 8th, 2012 03:30 pmLast night I watched the old D.W. Griffith silent film Orphans of the Storm for class. It was a hilariously enjoyable experience which I am going to share with you all!
Orphans of the Storm is about the FRENCH REVOLUTION, and before any of the action starts D.W. Griffith would like you to know the moral of the story: kicking out a bad government is GOOD, but "we in America should be careful lest we with a good government mistake fanatics for leaders and exchange our decent law and order for ANARCHY and BOLSHEVISM!"
(Griffith did love his allcaps.)
( Follow the cut for REVOLUTION and ORGIES and the ABRAHAM LINCOLN OF FRANCE! )
