That Wagner theory was such a stretch. Birth of a nation is techinally impressive and a masterpiece of its era but obviously racist and flawed, end of story. So annoying that they spent so much time cherry-picking his films/ bad scenes.

This isn't bad as far as it goes; I like the on-location shooting, and the host is ok. However, it borrows MASSIVELY from the already-existing, and COMPLETE, history of silent film called "Hollywood: A Celebration of Silent Film" by the great Kevin Brownlow. In fact, the Allan Dwan interview is taken right from THAT documentary. Could've at least credited it.

In terms of filmmaking, "Birth of a Nation" is such a masterpiece for it's time; so unfortunate that D.W. Griffith chose to make such a deceitful and poisonous film. I guess he joins Leni Riefenstahl in infamy.
@petesmitt2 жыл бұрын
Despite its controversial story, the film has been praised by film critics, with Ebert mentioning its use as a historical tool: "The Birth of a Nation is not a bad film because it argues for evil. Like Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will, it is a great film that argues for evil. To understand how it does so is to learn a great deal about film, and even something about evil.
