[QUOTE="MelaninWarlord, post: 60798, member: 428"] [MEDIA=youtube]xoBDd47j7c4[/MEDIA] This YouTube link points to the full 1919 silent film Broken Blossoms (also known as Broken Blossoms or The Yellow Man and the Girl), directed by D.W. Griffith. Key Details Uploaded by: Channel "Inter-Pathé" (November 2020) Runtime: Approximately 90 minutes (classic feature-length silent film) Stars: Lillian Gish as Lucy Burrows, a young abused woman; Richard Barthelmess as the Chinese immigrant (often called the "Yellow Man"); and Donald Crisp as her brutal father. Plot Summary (Spoiler-Free) Set in London's Limehouse district, it follows a gentle Chinese man who comes to England with ideals of peace and Buddhism. He befriends and protects a desperately unhappy young woman suffering from severe abuse. The story is a tender yet tragic interracial romance exploring themes of love, racism, domestic violence, and human kindness—poignant and emotionally intense for its era. Notable Aspects Praised for Lillian Gish's heartbreaking performance and its atmospheric cinematography. Features a beautiful musical score added to this upload. Controversial today due to yellowface casting (Barthelmess in the Asian role) and some stereotypical elements, though it was intended as progressive anti-racism at the time (especially compared to Griffith's infamous The Birth of a Nation). It's a public domain classic, so this appears to be a restored or high-quality upload available for free viewing. If you're into early cinema history, it's a landmark film—haunting and beautifully shot! [/QUOTE]
