C. Robinson from The Musketeers of Pig Alley/City Lights and a bunxh of 1800s guys who werewnt in anything i saW
i SAW THIS BEFORE AMD its good and f u caps locvk, suck an aids d0ng
Its based on a story from sevewral editions of The Bible tat some say is non canon
Its also basred on the play based on the book by Thomas Bailey Aldrich,
Affter Griffith made this, he left Biograph, the company that made films then, and took his loyal crew, like The Confederates in the 1800s, or the Americans in the 1700s, and Biograph didn't release this for a year so they didn't need to pay Griffith
But Griffith won as without him and his droogs, Biograph f;'d out
So after ctredits and a logo, we find the city of Bethulia is in the hills and giards the way to Jerusalam
It has walls, wells and a chick named Naomi who is loved by Nathan, son of Eliab
The people live and wortk in this ancient way as the ultrsa tech from the past was lost when noah's flood happened
Although some say Enoch hid some of em underground
So this feale gets water from the well and a guy helps her and walks with her
the walls of Bethulia were 50 cubits thick (And 1 Cubit is like around 20ish inches)_ so its around 1000 inches or around 83 feet
Also there's a marlket in the city and people Pray to The God of Abnraham, Isaac and Jacob, insytead of the daemons many chose to serve today
In Bethulia was Judith who's man bit it and is respected by the people
She gives money to poors and heklps Lilian Gish and her kid
At the gate to the city Naomi and Nathan go differewnt ways and the king of the assyrians sent a prince with hisd army to bust up countries in his way
Sorta like with Lothor in Voltron by king Zarkon
they get to the area of Bethulia and the people flee like Japanese from Godzilla and the prince captures the wells
ooh, they're chopping peeople dowm
Naomi is caught by them and Nathan wants to stop em
the p[eople escape intto the citry but the army gets in too
Man its like Germany when the soviets attacked and b0ned all the german women, and some men
wait, i think the soldiers are Israelites , wait, its the bad guys
the prince pitcxhed a tent nearby and has started a base there
so the people are beimng oppressed like its castro taking over cuba
Naomi is taken to be a slave to the prince
Wait,, the inner part iosd proptected by the walla and the army is fighting against it
good bbattle scene like in intolerance
So Judith spazzes out and gets mad and then Prays and the battle turns in favor of the Israelites
Thje army backs off and Judith gives thanks to The Lord
Naomi is still enslaved and the prince blames a guy who did stuff for him or lead the force and has him whipped
then meets with his advisors and is gonna wait em out til they run low on food and water
Kinda like stalin and the ukranians, or mao and his millions of victims
So the Israelites have to ration and there;'s not enough to go around, sorta like socialism
women come to Judith for hekp but she sends em away, then she goes out in the city
the prince has his loser workers ended fior being candya55
Judith Prayed and The Lord gave her instruction, then sghe did the sackcloth anbd burned wood dust on her for the Hebrew ritural for being sad
then put on an outfit to look sexy to guys in the, what year is this? I aSSUME its old testamrnt
A wiiki search sez its the time of Nebuchadnezzar, so around 500 BC
So she covers up and goes out of the city with her handmaid and goes to meet the prince or w/e
wait, hes not a p[rince, hes a general, and he takres a sword to a guy on a cross
So Judith goes to his tent and offers to give him her peoples kingdom, also she shows off her dress to him and he likes her
So hes so into her, he lets her into his personal camp and had his cheif neitered slave work for her
you gotta be pretty siuck to take a mans parts so he wont find giorls hot
then agauin; these are the bad guys
what next?cutting out someones tongue so they don't spoil their dinner?
Judith is kkinda liking the general and thinks hes not so bad
then agfain, Joseph was friend with the pharaoh who had people executed for triggering him
a young captsain tries to get water andhis droogs go with him as they see the enemy wasting water to mock them
A while ago i have thoughts about the people i hate like if we were in a bad country, and they were thrown in a cage and set on fire for not worshipping their gods, i'd be laughing and drinking a mountain dew while yelling BURN YOU C=CK SUCKERS!!!
man i sound like a piece of sh=t
doesn't help that the bad guys in here did it
so the Israelites attack and scare off the enemy
they get to the wells, but its a trap and the chariots come for em woith reinforcements anmd end em
there's some Israelite Snipers like with j fk amd theres a big diusty battle that coovewrs the area too look like more is happening
the battle gets to the walls and the general is obsessed with Judith and wantsa only her
Also Naomi and Nathan long for each other
the general has no interest in the 5kanks from his daemon temple
But Judith is falling for him and strugggles with what to do
She asks The Lord for help and goes toi the general who invites her to Ninevah, which I think Jonah helpeed fix
so she invites him for some 1 night stuff and gets him drunk when they are alone
She's gonna do some necking, and by that i mean blasde through neck tiol head is off, but struggles as shes into him
she thinks of her people who need her to end him, like with shinji and kaworu in evangelion, but this one came 1st, and isn't gay
so she raises the blade, it cuts to another place, then back and something rolls on the ground and the bosdy spazzes out
pretty bada55 for a pre ww1 film
she gets get handmaid and takes his head, like that japanese chick wjo took off hwer bf's psarts, and leaves with it
She gets back to the ciuty and brings in the head of the guy they probly never saw and probably looks like all the other guyts from the emnemy force
at the base camp 1 of the 5kanks finds his body and the Israelites attack as w/o theirt commander, they can';t stop em
Nathan runs artound in the burning camp and finds Naomi tied to a post and saves her as the camp burns
So the people get water and give thanks to The Lord for saving them and the bad guys are driven out
Judith is a hero as she seduced an enemy and assassinated him
So she's a Ninja? A Kunoichi?
The end
that wasd pretty good
nice story, good acting and 4effects, cool battle scenes and effects
its based on actual evemts, maybe, and has good themes of duty, honor, sacrifice and faith
Soirta like a Samurai tthing
I liked this one and its another win by D W Griffith
He was the Atari of movies, started many standards, but was left behind by others who used his innovations and advanced beyond
Imagine if the hostory channel aired this instead of cr-ppy cannibal remakeslike the texas chainsaw massacre
this one holds up and is only like an hour long
I liked it. Blanche Swewet does quite wewll in here
For Judith of Bethulia 2 I want it to be about the son of Naomi and Nathan going on an adventure to find this ancient treasure from Enoch's time that wwas recently discovered and keep it from the enemies of Israel, Also its a 32/64 bit action game on N64, Sega Saturn, PS1 and 3D0 like Zelda where you fight ancient animals fromn before Noah's flood and some offspring of man and fallen angel that you use holy weapons to battle, later they get lazer plazma cannons to fight you and you gotta get some and use it on em.
