This kind of thing ...( 10 months ago by HConstantine)
This kind of thing derives from the passage in Herodotus where he says babylonian girls used to protsitute themselves to get the moeny for their dowry (it is also simialr to some elments in Louys' Aphrodite, but that is a nother matter), a practice which is unattested in more direct evidence.

I am wondering why ...( 10 months ago by joeocho88)
I am wondering why the German Nationa Anthem is being played by a string quartet in the background. What does THAT have to do with Ancient Babylon? Franz Josef Hayden was around centuries after these events ALLEGEDLY happened!

This movie is amazing, you should see it in its entirety, it's breathtaking. Pity the print is fading, and greater pity that it was cut so viciously by the distributors of it when it first came out. Another great by D. W.: Judith of Bethulia

Thanks, I have seen it but it is too long to post in it's entirety. It is too bad the print is so faded. Thanks for watching and for your interesting comment :)

This is the greatest move I've ever seen. I can't say that I've sever seen anything like it before, and it's highly unlikely that the Hollywood system will ever allow anything like it again. Both on an artistic and a personal level, this film is without peer. As close to a life-changing experience as the movies will ever offer.
I'm drunk, so sorry if my comments seem rambling.
Not rambling at all ...( 7 months ago by ziegfeldgrrl)
Not rambling at all :) I love this film too and I agree that Hollywood will never attain these heights again. They seem to mostly hit lows these days. Thanks so much for your personal and insightful comment. I really appreciate it :)

Why are they playing a slow rendition of the German national anthem?

I just watched it. Lovely! Is that your own filmmaking??? If it is, bravo!!! Beautiful work. I have subscribed :)

I think the only way I would watch this movie from beginning to end was if somebody prepared for me on 3 x 5 cards what every title card in the movie says. Some of them you just can't read!
I think it would be interesting if this movie was remade scene for scene, only in color and with sound and dialogue. The Babylon sets are legendary. That would definitely bring some new attention to them.
Yes, this version ...( 6 months ago by ziegfeldgrrl)
Yes, this version is very hard to read. It's unfortunate that such important films are now in such poor condition and that so many others are lost.
Hollywood could never remake this due to cost and wouldn't bother. They'd only spend that kind of money on something where a lot of things blew up.
Thanks so much for your interesting comment! jane :)

I hope you find it soon! Good luck with your search :) I hope they restore it so I can get a better copy soon. It certainly deserves restoration! Thanks so much for your nice comments. My pleasure, jane :)

DonnieDarkoFan2006, you can find and download the movie in ARES, cause I'm downloading it now. I saw 10 minutes of this movie about 4 years ago and I never got the chance to see it on TV again, but I was looking for it!

Wow! I never thought I could find this movie on YouTube! Griffith was a great director. Is this movie available on DVD anywhere?

It was too long to post the whole thing and I don't have a very good copy so glad you enjoyed this bit :)
You can get the better Kino version DVD used on Amazon for as low as 16.97. I always advise buying used on Amazon since they guarantee things and if anything is wrong with the DVD they refund your money. Only had a problem once and got my money back right away. Check the sellers rating!

Ah, sorry, it's been ages since I watched it and I can hardly remember what I did yesterday. You can buy it on Amazon and they guarantee everything. Get the Masterworks edition though, not the other. Come back and tell me what happens after you get it :) Best, jane

I've since gotten that version but unfortunately it has hard coded French subtitles :)
