"Seek for the Road" (1925)
Context: For thousands of years men have striven and suffered and begotten and women have brought forth in pain. A hundred years ago, perhaps, another man sat on this spot; like you he gazed with awe and yearning in his heart at the dying light on the glaciers. Like you he was begotten of man and born of woman. He felt pain and brief joy as you do. Was he someone else? Was it not you yourself? What is this Self of yours? What was the necessary condition for making the thing conceived this time into you, just you and not someone else?
Prologue; Edward Van Sloan actually comes out from behind an on-screen curtain to deliver this speech.

“It's not the lie that's the problem; it's the distance the lie forges between you.”
