D.W. Griffith: O nascimento de um cinema

Rate this book
Pai do cinema narrativo clássico, artista pioneiro, um verdadeiro mestre do "filme de ação". Movendo a câmera que anteriormente era fixa, fez dela um participante ativo em seus filmes. Alternava imagens, dividia as cenas em diferentes visões parciais, cortava personagens à altura dos joelhos para mostrar com detalhes as expressões faciais, Griffith ia descobrindo assim a linguagem cinematográfica no início do século. Através dele os poderes do mundo finalmente reconheceram a importância do cinema no plano da comunicação social. Ele nos traz o encanto da origem, a interrogação renovada sobre a "primeira vez".

Mais interessante como um levantamento histórico da carreira de Griffith na década de 1910 do que como um trabalho crítico.
