Lucy's miserable life is devoid of beauty, and she is constantIy beaten by her father, an alcohoIic boxer. ln the same hopeless slum, a recent Chinese immigrant who runs an import shop helplessIy watches the waif's struggIe. When Lucy's father thrashes her within an inch of her life, the shopkeeper takes her in and nurses her back to health. As her condition improves, Lucy begins to show a new interest in Iife, thanks to aII the beauty that her new friend has shown her. The young girl's father, outraged at her new reIationship, is determined to separate the two forever, no matter what the consequences.
D.W. Griffith's most intimate and lyricaI film, considered by some critics to be his masterpiece, Broken Blossoms was determined to be too grim by his studio and the director was forced to buy it back and release it himseIf. The fiIm is aIso one of the absolute highIights of LiIIian Gish's career. She is perfect as the wretched waif, so defeated she is unable to smile without using her fingers to turn up the corners of her mouth. |
