Cabiria - 1914 Silent Film - Truth in Plain Sight


Cabiria - Visione storica del terzo secolo a.C.' is a 1914 Italian epic silent film, directed by Giovanni Pastrone and shot in Turin. Some scenes were also filmed in Tunisia, Sicily, the Alps (in the Lanzo Valleys, where Hannibal was said to have passed) and the lakes of Avigliana. The original version was color toned in twelve different shades, some unpublished. The film is considered the greatest blockbuster and the most famous Italian silent film. It was also the first film in history to be screened at the White House.

The film is set in ancient Sicily, Carthage, and Cirta during the period of the Second Punic War (218–202 BC). It follows a melodramatic main plot about an abducted little girl, Cabiria, and features an eruption of Mount Etna, heinous religious rituals in Carthage, the alpine trek of Hannibal, Archimedes' defeat of the Roman fleet at the Siege of Syracuse and Scipio maneuvering in North Africa. Apart from being a classic on its own terms, the film is also notable for being the first film in which the long-running film character Maciste makes his debut. According to Martin Scorsese, in this work Pastrone invented the epic movie and deserves credit for many of the innovations often attributed to D.W. Griffith and Cecil B. DeMille. Among those was the extensive use of a moving camera, thus freeing the feature-length narrative film from "static gaze".

The historical background and characters in the story are taken from Livy's Ab Urbe Condita (written ca. 27–25 BC). In addition, the script of Cabiria was partially based on Gustave Flaubert's 1862 novel Salammbo and Emilio Salgari's 1908 novel Cartagine in fiamme (Carthage in Flames). Italian author Gabriele d'Annunzio contributed to the screenplay, writing all of the intertitles, naming the characters and the movie itself. It was D'Annunzio who came up with the name "Cabiria", "born from fire", and wanted it as the title of the film, as the name of the protagonist that the god Moloch wants to sacrifice.

During the making of Cabiria, it was Gabriele d'Annunzio and the director Giovanni Pastrone, who wanted music expressly composed for the accompaniment to be made for the first time in the history of cinema. sound of a film. For the music, Pastrone asked for the collaboration of maestro Ildebrando Pizzetti, who however couldn't complete the sound commentary for the film, which was later completed by one of his pupils, the composer Manlio Mazza. He reworked the music of several composers including Mozart, Mendelssohn, Spontini, Donizetti and Gluck. However, Pizzetti's short but intense Symphony of Fire, was used in the scenes of sacrifice.

Much of the success of Cabiria is due to the Spanish Segundo de Chomón, one of the best cinema operators on the European scene, to whom Pastrone entrusted the photography of the film and who employed a vast series of cinematographic effects: it was he who used electric lamps to obtain chiaroscuro effects (for example in the scene of the sacrifice) and who concocted the sequence of the eruption of Etna, of remarkable realism. Cabiria was a very ambitious film, one of the very first colossals, which intended to link the theatrical tradition, painting, music, literature. These characteristics were the basis of the approach of the best Italian cinema, in contrast with the fast and linear narration soon imposed by the American Griffith.

The plot of the film is very traditional, with various events leading to a happy ending, according to the canons of the 19th century historical novel. In reality it seems to be a simple pretext for staging a grandiose visionary spectacle, as the subtitle also suggests, which speaks of a "vision" of the third century BC, not of a story: in this sense Cabiria is still included in the films of the early years of the cinema, where the visual component still prevailed over the narrative structure, the so-called cinema of attractions. However, the style is profoundly different from the typical examples of the attractions period, and in this Cabiria was a cornerstone of the nascent cinematic language. Some critics see Cabiria as the first example of complete cinematic language. However, speaking of narrative cinema for Cabiria would still be premature: the visionary component is still too strong and must therefore be placed in a transitional phase. Pastrone's hallucinations will then be taken up by avant-garde silent cinema, with a citation for example in Metropolis by Fritz Lang (1927). The American director David W. Griffith paid homage to Cabiria and historical Italian cinema in the Babylonian episode of Intolerance. The copy of the statue of the god Moloch is now kept in the National Museum of Cinema in Turin. Even the works of Cecil B. DeMille owe much to the progenitor of the peplum, Pastrone.

A Real Life Economic Nightmare: How Would You Feel If You Had Applied For 900 Jobs Without Any Success At All?

If you have applied for hundreds of jobs and still find yourself out of work, you are certainly not alone. In many industries, it is absolutely brutal out there right now. U.S. employers have been laying off hundreds of thousands of workers in 2025, and there is immense competition for any good jobs that do happen to be available. So if you have a good job that you highly value, I would hold on to it as tightly as you can, because you don’t want to end up among the desperate hordes that are scrambling for work in this very harsh economic environment. For example, a 46-year-old woman in Florida that was laid off last September has applied for 900 jobs without any success at all... [Read More]

Globalists are Aiming for a One-World Religion: Education is One of Their Key Tools to Implement it

Global leaders are working to create a unified global religion that prioritises “Mother Earth” and undermines Judeo-Christianity.

This new world religion aims to redefine morality, replacing traditional values with a focus on environmentalism and “common values.”

“Nowhere is the push for the one-world religion and spirituality movement more obvious than in UN-backed education programmes around the world,” Alex Newman writes.

Key players, including the Vatican, the United Nations and billionaire globalists, are driving this effort, which seeks to unite all religions under a single umbrella; the goal is to create a “New World Order” with a “United Nations of Religions.”

The ultimate goal of these efforts is to create a new spiritual and moral system, divorced from biblical tradition, and unite humanity under a globalist agenda, with the UN’s Agenda 2030 and its Sustainable Development Goals serving as the foundation. [Read More]
