Intolerance: Love's Struggle Through the Ages, by D.W. Griffith, is a film which thematically concerns the cultural continuity of a theme, intolerance, across disparate time periods and connects four narratives on that theme one to the other with a common image: a mother, gently rocking a cradle. Symbolic of the eternal march of generations, the cradle represents both the passage of time and the eternal emergence of culture within humanity, nurtured by love, symbolized by Griffith's romanticized mother figure. The film's parallel narrative structure, four stories from centuries apart progressing toward their climaxes in tandem and in narratively conventional increasing urgency, was virtuosically constructed and edited, and soon shown to be highly influential to other filmmakers, of the American and Soviet cinemas and of many others.

Everything Joyce is praised for was accomplished in superior fashion by Griffith and Eisenstein first and foremost you dumbfuck.
