| 6. Glad you pointed that out. |
|
'Cause that's my vote.
Racist certainly...but a landmark piece of film-making, too.

| 3. Yeah, you really need the both option. |

I've watched parts of it on TV and it is both brilliant and racist. DW Griffith absolutely broke ground with narrative techniques on film. Too bad he did it in a movie that glorifies race hatred, or we'd be watching it regularly today.

but based on a horrible book named "The Klansman"...
He went on to make Intolerance as sort of a punishment for Birth of a Nation.
