User Review - 10/10 by Greg WIt's Atheism vs. Christianity, 1920s style! Directed by the great Cecil B. DeMille, The Godless Girl is a provocative look of fanatic beliefs and struggling humanity that eventually turns into a cute and wonderful love story. The Godless Girl begins in a high school where The Girl, (a.k.a. Judy), is beginning "The Atheist Society". The Boy, (a.k.a. Bob), doesn't like this. A riot between the athiests and christians leads to a death of a girl and sends Judy, Bob and his friend to an cruel and inhumaine reform school. All of a sudden living in a society where two groups can express opposing beliefs doesn't seem all that bad. Now that The Boy and Girl are equally struggling desperately, though they are seperated by an electric fence, a love grows between them as they plot an escape. What begins kind of cartoonish finnishes as a powerhouse of emotion and suspence. The cartoonish and steriotypical beginning is like an equilizer. No side is justified, just presented at it's most ruthless in a society where you can do that. But abusing those rights can lead to them being taken away, once our freedom is taken away, all that remains is a humanity that is in each in every one of us. This is a beautiful and pretty damn romantic movie, but it's also an unsettling story because it reminds us that reform schools as horrible as the one in this movie do exist, but are much worse. Surprisingly this movie isn't just a dramatic, emotion movie, it's actually written quite intelligently with creative details, weird slang, but some great moments. What would be DeMille's last silent movie would also be his first sound movie. Confused? Only DeMille could pull it off. The Godless Girl is one of DeMille's lesser known movies, and it's surprising to see a regular style movie made by a director infamous for making epics. But DeMille still goes crazy with the budget and makes one hell of a good looking movie, especially for one made in 1928. There's some great cinematography to capture the exciting and romantic moments, and the films editing and structure of the scenes builds up for some wonderful suspence. But what's definitely impressive is the sets. A fight scene choreographed on one big staircase set is filmed very well, and a whole building was built for this movie to look like a reform.... well lets call it a prison, it really did look like a horrible place. But the interior and exterior sets look fantastic, and filmed just as well too. Make no mistake, just because this isn't a DeMille epic, doesn't mean that DeMille didn't push his ability and his actors as if he was making an epic. And if you see the latest restoration you'll hear a wonderful soundtrack as well. You're never going to see a film like The Godless Girl again. This movie was made in a time where religious and political views weren't liberalized in movies to please the general audience. This movie has a message whether people liked it or not. But what's even better is that this movie doesn't pick sides. There is no moral at the end whether The Girl or The Boy was right and the other wrong. This is a movie about humanity, and it will go to awkward and risky lengths to show that kind of movie. But what's even greater is that The Godless Girl can still appeal to modern audiences and culture today.
User Review - 8/10 by Anna NThis is a nice and quaint film wonderfully shot with good sets, stunning photography and a nice storyline that has a neat, if not wholly satisfactory, ending. Some scenes are amazing just because no stunt doubles seem to be used check out the scene where Bob is sprayed with a fire hose and the finale escaping from the burning Reformatory.
User Review - 8/10 by Paul DThe fire scenes were quite remarkable and overall it was a very interesting movie.
User Review - 8/10 by Daniel KI probably haven't seen a full-length silent film since my childhood, so this was a very welcome change. The film shows the value of religious tolerance, with a horrifying story of what was then considered acceptable punishment for young offenders in the form of a very brutal reform school.
User Review - 8/10 by Kate CFascinating. I can't say that I entirely understand it given that there is very little context... and I definitely need to see it again... but this really is one of the more interesting silent movies I've seen. I can't for the life of me figure out why it was made in 1929 though... around the depression *ponders* I wonder if it was before or after black thursday...
User Review - 8/10 by Emily BCecil B. DeMille's last silent feature and a great one it is too. The film starts with a high-school battle between the two gangs, the Athiests, led by Judy and the Believers led by the handsome Bob. When the believers gate crash the Godless Society's meeting a full scale riot braeks out and during all the commotion a girl falls to her death. Then we find ourselves in a brutal reform school. The two gang leaders and their neutral friend Bozo are sent there after the tragic accident. Both the girls and the boys are open to torture and punishment. Half way through the story Judy forgots her Atheist ways with the help of her new friend. Judy and Bob, who once were enemies fall in love and manage to escape, though they are not quite successful. This is essential religious propaganda, but even though the girl was converted so easily it is still like nothing else I've seen. Defiantly recommended.
User Review - 6/10 by Rachel BIt's interesting in terms of its subject matter and has a few sequences that show how amazing the silent era's cinematography was. Other than that it's somewhat melodramatic, which I imagine gets less fun on repeated viewings.
User Review - 6/10 by Christopher SThe dated, preachy elements actually make it more interesting than it would probably be otherwise. As with most Hollywood films of this era, it's a predictable, over the top melodrama heavy on one-dimensional characters and plot contrivances. But DeMille's sure-handed cinematic storytelling keep it compelling and entertaining with a number of impressive sequences.
User Review - 4/10 by Katie MThe heavy handed and shallow preaching is bad enough, but this ovie can't decide if it's a religious movie, a corrupt jail movie, or even a comedy!
