Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Having been used to working with dialogue on the stage, the 33 year old D.W. Griffith took the audience on a journey through this story through the dollying of the camera. It was a lesson in the art of screenplay writing as opposed to stage play writing.
