Intolerance - The Film that Created Hollywood

Published on Sep 11, 2020
Synopsis
Four stories are introduced and interwoven so that the film continually turns from one to the next. Each story reaches its climax at the end of the film. The stories are linked by the common theme that through all ages hatred and intolerance have opposed love and charity. A scene of a woman (Gish) rocking a cradle serves as the link between the shifting narratives. The rocking cradle represents the endless ages of shared passions, joys, and sorrows. The synopsis will not turn from story to story as in the film, but will tell each story completely in turn. The Modern and Babylon stories are longer and more complex than the France and Ancient Nazareth Stories.
