Although this film is not so perfect as it is normally stated, it is a very important film neverthless. In Brazil, it's usually a case of "love it or hate it" as regards to this film. It may not be perfect, but it is impressive, and shows efficiently political corruption and the degradation of one's soul as well. Although somewhat confused in some moments, the film is packed with great scenes, and is always visually impressive. It also had the merit of discussing Brazil's problems at the time, using fictional "Eldorado" as a shield against the strong censorship applied in these days. Has it's place guaranteed in brazilian cinerama.
I didn´t expect much of this film, as it is not much mentioned nowadays. Although it is a very simple movie, it evocates eternal values, such as honor, friendship and respect for other people's own values, that truly makes you feel very well after seeing it. It shows, also, how every religion should be guided and thought to someone, and not how it is usually done.
Only a movie from the 40's, like this one, dated like it is, to remind us some values that we are forced to forget everyday in this "global" world of merges, fusions, profits and unemployment. It is a lesson of humanity, decency and of how a man can stick to his opinions and really make the difference.

Greed is one of the best films of the silent era, and, probably, one with the best ending that I've seen in my life. The scenes in the Death Valley are simply unforgettable. You keep on remembering them weeks after seeing the film.
Stroheim here proves that he was indeed a great director. Altough the whole movie don't hold up as well as in the final scenes (something almost impossible), we can see many scenes of pure talent. The opening scenes, presenting McTeague to us, are very beautiful and they illustrate perfectly his character. The actors are very good, too.
Seeing the movie as it is now, I think that it was a blessing that Irving Thalberg has reduced the film from its previous 9 hours to 140 minutes. It would, probably, be too much for the audience. 9 hours is always too much, even if the film is Greed. But, I admit it, a few more scenes wouldn´t hurt us as well.
