One of the last D.W. Griffith films on my list to watch... thank god. I don't like Griffith and I especially don't like his muse: Lillian Gish [the Smashing Pumpkins named their first album "Gish" after her... a little trivia for you]. Gish has this puckered lip look like she should be the ad for Warheads Sour Candy and plays the damsel in distress that is clueless of how to fend for herself. She stars in The Birth of a Nation, Intolerance, Way Down East, Orphans of the Storm, and this film for Griffith (along with dozens more).The film is about a young lady who is abused by her alcoholic boxer father who after an altercation with her dad is left beaten in the street. An Asian immigrant, who came to the country with the intention of teaching everyone the gentleness of Buddha, comes to her aid. When her father finds out she is spending time with a foreigner he comes after them both.
I doubt people take my recommendations of silent films seriously, so lets just say pass on this one.
