A Corner in Wheat (1909)

On a whim, a greedy tycoon decides to corner the world market in wheat. This doubles the price of bread, forcing grain producers into charity lines and others further into poverty.

This was very eye opening for a lot of reasons: I knew several things about Griffith 1 that he was a southern racist and 2 a very talented film maker. But it also seems he was also an idealist in other venues and for his day a protagonist for Indian Americans and the poor that were taken advantage of by Wall Street. In this short film he highlights (based on a series of news articles) the plight of poor wheat farmers and urban poor who are at the mercy of unregulated Wall Street commodity traders who set the price of wheat. Literally buying at low-low prices crashing farmers into poverty and setting prices so high that bakers and others have to raise thier prices and in-poverishing the city poor while the Traders live like kings, Reminds me a lot of today's problems.

Scenes from the early 20th century of what an increase in the price of flour means to the rich and the poor. The message is very direct, and in the Griffith way, very daring, as he once again depicts in his masterly way a social struggle in a gripping and involving way.

D.W. Griffith directs a decent short film about the effects of greed and its plight on the worker and the common man. It has a decent message, and it is well shot.

Although more than 100 years old, this film, about a tycoon who takes over the world's supply of wheat, still speaks to us today.

In little over ten minutes David Wark Griffith (I love his middle name) shows us why he's considered THE pioneer of modern film. He anticipates Eisenstein's and his Soviet colleagues' cross cuttings and montage techniques and delivers a neat little moral play. And, he accomplishes what only little directors can in such a short runtime - he actually made me mad - mad about this tycoon and all the people like him - and mad that in the more than hundred years since Griffith filmed this, so little has changed. Watching this was an assignment for my studies but it's not only interesting from an analytical and historical stand point but just an effective and essential film you should watch if you can spare 15 minutes of your life.
