哎，你要是想找部能静下心看的经典默片，格里菲斯这部《暴风雨中的孤儿》真挺妙的。这部片子适合那些不嫌弃黑白无声、愿意静下心感受老电影如何用镜头讲故事的观众，尤其推荐给喜欢透过演员微表情体会内心挣扎的人。格里菲斯用平行剪辑把两姐妹的漂泊命运拧成一股绳——一边是丽莲·吉许在逃亡路上紧攥的包袱，一边是大革命断头台的阴影慢慢压下来。丽莲·吉许演那个为救妹妹甘愿冒险的姑娘，她那双眼睛啊，每次特写都能让你跟着揪心，她哭你都想哭。跟同期那些只靠服装和布景撑门面的历史片不同，这里的每一帧实景都浸着泥泞与慌张。最意外的是群众场面，几百人挤在台阶上喊口号，没有配乐也能感到那种混乱和窒息。

　　Henriette and Louise, a foundling, are raised together as sisters. When Louise goes blind, Henriette swears to take care of her forever. They go to Paris to see if Louise's blindness can be cured, but are separated when an aristocrat lusts after Henriette and abducts her. Only Chevalier de Vaudrey is kind to her, and they fall in love. The French Revolution replaces the corrupt Aristocracy with the equally corrupt Robespierre. De Vaudrey, who has always been good to peasants, is condemned to death for being an aristocrat, and Henriette for harboring him. Will revolutionary hero Danton, the only voice for mercy in the new regime, be able to save them from the guillotine?
