caption_attribution_description: English: Low resolution screenshot from the public domain version of the film Intolerance (1916). In the Judean Story of the film, a woman accused of adultery is brought by men holding stones before the Nazarene (Howard Gaye) with the statement, "Now Moses in the law commanded us that such should be stoned; but what sayest thou?" - John VIII. The Nazarene writes in the sand on steps, and says, in this scene, "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."
context_page_description: Intolerance is a 1916 epic silent film directed by D. W. Griffith. Subtitles include Love's Struggle Throughout the Ages and A Sun-Play of the Ages.
  Regarded as one of the most influential films of the silent era, the three-and-a-half-hour epic intercuts four parallel storylines, each separated by several centuries: a contemporary melodrama of crime and redemption, a Judean story: Christ's mission and death, a French story: the events surrounding the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre of 1572, and a Babylonian story: the fall of the Babylonian Empire to Persia in 539 BC. Each story had its own distinctive color tint in the original print, but not in the currently available versions. The scenes are linked by shots of a figure representing Eternal Motherhood, rocking a cradle.
  In Intolerance, Griffith chose to explore the eponymous theme partly in response to criticism of his previous film, The Birth of a Nation, which was criticized by the NAACP and other groups as perpetuating racial stereotypes and glorifying the Ku Klux Klan.
