Practically speaking, the artistic maturing of the cinema was the single-handed achievement of David W. Griffith(1875-1948). Before Griffith, photography in dramatic films consisted of little more than placing the actors before a stationary camera and showing them in full length as they would have appeared on stage. From the beginning of his career as a director, however, Griffith, because of his love of Victorian painting, employed composition. He conceived of the camera image as having a foreground and a rear ground, as well as the middle distance preferred by most directors. By 1910, he was using close-ups to reveal significant details of the scene or of the acting and extreme long shots to achieve a sense of spectacle and distance. His appreciation of the camera’s possibilities produced novel dramatic effects. By splitting an event into fragment and recording each from the most suitable camera position, he could significantly vary the emphasis form camera shot to camera shot.
Griffith also achieved dramatic effects by means of creative editing. By juxtaposing images and varying the speed and rhythm of their presentation, he could control the dramatic intensity of the events as the story progressed. Despite the reluctance of his producers, who feared that the public would not be able to follow such a story, Griffith persisted and experimented as well with other elements which have become standard ever since.
Besides developing the cinema’s language, Griffith immensely broadened its range and treatment of subjects. His early movies included not only the standard comedies, melodramas, westerns, and thrillers, but also such novelties as adaptations from Browning and Tennyson, and treatment of social issues. As his success mounted, his ambitions grew. When he made a new movie in 1991, he insisted that a subject of importance could not be treated in the then conventional length of one reel. One of his movies reached the unprecedented length of four reels, or one hour’s running time. Griffith’s introduction of the American-made multi-reel picture began an immense revolution.
The primary purpose of the passage is to ______.
选项
A、discuss the importance of Griffith to the development of cinema
B、describe the impact on cinema of the flashbacks and other editing innovations
C、document Griffith’s impact on the choice of subject matter in American films
D、deplore the state of American cinema before the Griffith
答案
A

根据文章内容可知,本文主要介绍格里菲斯对电影发展所做出的重要贡献。所以A项表述为本文主旨。B项表述“闪回和其他编辑技巧对电影的影响”属于细节而非主旨;C项表述“格里菲斯对美国电影选材的影响”不是重点所在;D项表述“格里菲斯出现之前的美国电影的状态”在文中只是一笔带过,并非重点所在。据此判断,答案是A。
