We're all people of the 90's, of the 80's, of today. And this movie would pass unnoticed if i didn't have it explained at the Editing Theories class in film school. When we analize this one on detail, we can spot that Griffith invented all kinds of gimmicks that we take for granted today: fade outs, cross fades, fake continuity, and above all it expresses a true actor's feelings when we see the father at the theater, being clearly influenced by the play he sees. And this work of a play within a play is also a novelty, as so many other things. This works as a triumph, and a prediction of all that would be used later on movies.
