00:00So here we are on Hollywood Boulevard and the elephants that we can see behind and all this decor

00:04It comes from a film called Intolerance which came out in 1916.

00:07and it is a film that is considered the first Hollywood blockbuster

00:12since it is a film that cost more than 1,750,000 dollars

00:16and at the time, at least in 1916, there were no films being made for that budget.

00:22This film, Intolerance, was directed by David Park Griffith.

00:25who also made a film a year earlier called Birth of a Nation

00:28a film which, in many of its aspects, its editing and its dynamism, revolutionized the codes of cinema

00:34but a film that is also considered deeply racist.

00:38Besides, that's where the paradox lies, since it's a film that is extremely important.

00:41who reinvents the codes but who sends out messages that are ignoble

00:47and which are a thousand leagues away in any case from what we can imagine today.

00:53Well, it's important to show you this right in the middle of Hollywood Boulevard.

00:55a rather impressive setting for an equally impressive film.
