【Classic Death Scene in Cinema History 04】
This may be the earliest Hollywood film involving discrimination against the Chinese, from the father of American cinema David Griffiths's work "Residual Tears", the film tells the story of a young Chinese named Cheng Huan, who went to London, hoping to teach Buddhist teachings in a foreign country, but because of depression, not only abandoned his career, but also contaminated with opium, living in decadence and depression all day, at this time he met a beautiful girl named Ruth, and finally the two fell in love, but in the end Ruth was drunk and violent, The father full of anti-Chinese emotions was beaten to death, and Cheng Huan shot the girl's father for love, and finally martyred.
Such a poignant story, completely different from the magnificent epic scenes in Griffiths's earlier works "The Birth of a Nation" and "The Party Fights Together", this is a film in a smaller indoor space, creating atmosphere and emotion, depression and fear, in order to show the theme of racism and domestic violence to bring harm to people, in the visual style of the film, it emphasizes the dirty streets, the dark world full of drunkards and addicts, which is in stark contrast to the pure and romantic set in Cheng Huan's apartment.
In the girl's poignant but poetic death scene, she holds the doll given to her by her beloved in her left hand, stretches out the weak fingers of her right hand, and pushes the corners of her mouth on both sides, and she uses her last strength to leave a loving smile on this cruel world.
