小麦的囤积的剧情介绍,或译《谷仓一角》,以传统清教徒的价值观念对现代社会的经济贫富差距问题进行了置疑。 <br /> 故事取材于Frank Norris的两部小说,故事也同时在三个地点平行进行,乡下麦田穷苦农民的生活,面包店的生意,和股票经纪人的办公室,而且三个故事线里的人物和情节完全没有交叠。通过对穷人和富人的平行剪辑,不仅能看到后来格里菲斯名作品《党同伐异》的影子,也能看到对蒙太奇技术的启发。
A greedy tycoon decides, on a whim, to corner the world market in wheat. This doubles the price of bread, forcing the grain's producers into charity lines and further into poverty. The film continues to contrast the ironic differences between the lives of those who work to grow the wheat and the life of the man who dabbles in its sale for profit.
