The Female of the Species

沙漠中的三个女人救赎的故事。Four survivors from an abandoned mining town - a married couple, the wife's sister, and a younger woman - are making a desperate trip to safety across the desert. The wife suspects the younger woman of having an affair with her husband, and soon afterwards the husband dies suddenly. The three women must then continue their journey amidst the growing tensions caused by the wife's desire for revenge.

当时女性地位真的挺低，看同时代的电影可知，女性都是要依附男人，女性可以很天真可爱善良，但影片中找不到独立自强，独自解决问题，自我思考等角色；虽然这部片只是在讲女人的猜忌，妒忌，报复，但主题能单独切入到女性，我觉得还是有想法。 影片中为了一瓶水就被枪杀的印第安人能知道当时印第安人在白人眼里的地位是有多低啊。。。 1912年了格里菲斯的作品内容矛盾冲突尖锐，以及最后的获得的救赎成了这段时间格里菲斯的常用手段

一反常態以女性為主，同樣也顯出爾虞我詐的人性，最後嬰兒的出現，救贖了三人的心，3 Godfathers與本片相似

全员演技爆发，尤其是那场对峙戏太绝了。
