John McTeague was a simple slow man who became a dentist after working at the Big Dipper Gold Mine. He is now being hunted in Death Valley by his ex-best friend Marcus and the law. His lot was cast the day that he meet his future wife Trina in his office. She was with Marcus and she bought a lottery ticket. Well Mac fell for her and Marcus stepped aside. When Mac and Trina married, she won the Lottery for $5000 and became obsessive about the money in gold. Marcus is steamed as he stepped aside and now she is rich so he has the law shut down Mac as he has no official schooling for his dentistry. Trina fearful that they will take her gold away sells everything and takes all Mac earns when he is working. She adds to her stash of gold as they both live as paupers. When Mac has no job and no money, he leaves and Trina moves. Driven to desperation at being poor and hungry he finds Trina and demands the gold.
资本主义的罪恶——金钱对人性的腐蚀。不过年代太过久远，一时适应不了这么多静态图像。表演上还是带有浓浓的舞台感，不过最后几个镜头确实震撼，一个人被推上了绝路，从一个善良淳朴的人渐渐变为杀人恶魔，却终究逃不出被审判的命运
你猜怎么着，最早的版本好像有九小时，哦，无聊的九小时。
140分钟无声版，自己搭配上Goldberg变奏曲以及Philip Glass的钢琴练习曲发现异常的和拍。昆汀的姜戈里夸张的牙医马车来源，婚礼与葬礼并行，守财奴的疯狂，最后的死亡谷沙漠大远景，整体当然不能说是默片中最顶级的一批，但也确实是一部佳片
没有很喜欢，不过这次bfi有全程live钢琴配乐，前半段的钢琴倒是很喜欢。哥们从头弹到尾，由衷佩服
Greed.1924.720p.BluRay.FLAC2.0.x264-larrabure.mkv 7.72G 239分钟
8.1 35mm现场配乐，《日出》的反面，人物兽性的隐藏与爆发，通过特写的可怖能量。
作为一部四个小时的电影来说有太多的推静止画的镜头了。演员的调教和镜头的构图倒是教科书级的，但真正让它封神的应该还是故事本身。
239min 最后有点西部片的味道
毕竟四个小时，就给个4星吧。人工着色好惊艳。
施特罗海姆代表作。金钱使人贪婪，动态影像与静态图片不断穿插混搭，好奇妙的观看体验。

两段分了两次看完 ，本以为不会轻松，但看的非常过瘾。电影还是得靠故事加表演。伟大！
看了4小时版本的，金黄色的鸟在困在笼中，金色的大牙齿反复出现。意外得巨款大肆挥霍的很常见，但是越有钱越发抠还没见过，女主张口闭口是多少多少钱，实在是让人压抑。
群像与西部，金色与牙齿～
太长了，不可想象
