　　Review
　　Drawing heavily on the poignant novel by Jules Renard on which it is based, Poil de carotte is a modest yet appealing film which has stood the test of time mainly because of the quality of its acting performances and its inherent humanity. It is more memorable than Julien Duvivier's earlier silent version of 1925, also named Poil de Carotte.
　　The part of Poil de Carotte was played by 11 year old Robert Lynen, who was alleged to have been discovered whilst walking down the Champs-Elysées in Paris. Lynen is totally captivating and the film made him an instant star, launching what looked like becoming a very promising film career – until he was shot dead whilst fighting against the Germans in 1944. Harry Baur, a legendary stage and film actor (who also died during World War II, allegedly at the hands of the Gestapo), also turns in a typically fine performance. The reconciliation between father and son at the end of the film provides its most enduring image, enough to melt the heart of all but the most stoical of spectators.

　　美国南北战争时期，南方庄园主卡梅伦一家原本过着安逸的生活。卡梅隆和斯通曼家的孩子同在一所寄宿学校念书，接触中，年轻的本杰明·卡梅隆（亨利·B·沃斯奥 Henry B. Walthall饰）和埃尔西·斯通曼（丽莲·吉许 Lillian Gish饰）互生情愫。然而不久南北战争爆发。本杰明参加了南方军队，奔赴前线，与北方的昔日好友斯通曼（拉尔夫·李维斯 Ralph Lewis饰）成了敌手。战后，黑人烧杀抢掠。本杰明组织三K党，对黑人进行报复，粉碎了建立所谓的“黑人王国”的阴谋。本杰明与埃尔西这对患难情侣也终于走到了一起。他们的结合，预示着一个新的国家的诞生和统一。
　　这部由美国电影巨匠D·W·格里菲斯编导的长达三个多小时的鸿篇巨制《一个国家的诞生》，是世界电影史上最重要的里程碑式电影，也是默片时代的经典之作。本片因为对白人优越主义的提倡，以及对三K党的美化而颇具争议性。
