D.W. Griffith: Father Of Film (1993) Review

Besides standing on it's own as an outstanding biography, "Father of Film" is also an important study of the birth of the film industry. Near the end of the film, several people make on-screen appearances denying that Griffith was really responsible for some of the techniques that made him a legend. Regardless of the dispute, it is clear that the film industry would not be the same without Griffith.
The film traces Griffith's humble beginnings in a small Kentucky town all the way to his tragic, lonely end. Through it all we see that Griffith was, though often frustrated by circumstances beyond his control, a man driven to excellence. His desire is evident in each film clip we see from his first short films all the way to his masterpieces such as "Birth of a Nation" and "Way Down East." Griffith had the ability that few directors have today, the ability to convey strong, powerful feelings through believable characters on-screen. You must remember also that the majority of Griffith's story-telling was done during the silent era. The actors had to act. And someone had to direct them.
So many wonderful behind-the-scenes stories appear throughout the film: the beginnings of Griffith's career, the lives of the actors, and the unexpected problems that occurred during the filming of these classics. All of it is fascinating. The key to any good documentary is: Does it make you want to know more about the subject? In this case, does it make you want to see these old, nearly forgotten silent films? Absolutely.
