Intolerance: Love's Struggle Throughout the Ages

Initially, David Wark Griffith was the idea to make a film in 80 parts of a release series, but he found no money on him. A series of scenes and episodes of "Intolerance" literally repeats the film "Cabiria" (1914), however, Griffith said that he hadn't even seen this film.

"Intolerance" for the first time appeared on the screen 5 Sep 1916 in "liberty theater" in new York in the midst of a campaign for re-election of President Wilson.

David Wark Griffith called his film "solar drama", as it was rarely filmed under artificial light.

Cecil Blount de Mille was restored and used of Babylon "scenery" for the movie "the Ten commandments" (1956).

Almost all the scenery for the film was destroyed in 1930-1932 years, but some have turned to home.

On the part of the Foundation of Babylon "scenery" was built the pavilions of the Studio "Disney."

In the finished film was almost 14 rolls of film, that is, about 4.1 thousand meters. This means that David Wark Griffith has used only one metre of 30 meters of film footage.

Griffith was charged shooting of each scene "of the Babylonian episode of" a large number of operators. The shooting took place at the same time from different corners of the court, thus removing in different ways and at different rates. "Of course" in the "Babylonian episode" was carried out using a tethered balloon. This method of shooting and subsequently rarely repeated.

For the filming of "St. Bartholomew," was reproduced a quarter of old Paris. The shooting of the episode was spent $250 000, they involved 2 500 extras. The episode "the passion of the Christ" has cost the creators of $300,000, for he had invited 3 500 extras. For extras was organized by giant food, and soup bowl have been circulating in the car on the narrow gauge railway system Decaville.

Only one of the four episodes ends happily, the American episode.

Released in 2011 video game "L. A. Noire" in one of the investigations evidence is the photo sets for the Babylonian episode of Intolerance, in which the plot played a suspect, but in the end this investigation will also be the pursuit of a suspect on these sets. Also in the same game, but in the other case, it will be necessary to look at this scenery maniac.
