This is the nation that should be dead now. And, I can ignore the creator's thought, ideology but I can't deny the film's. It is the one of the most racist, disgusting thing I have ever watched. The biggest problem is that it is well crafted, well directed shit. So, it just makes things harder.

The Birth of a Nation is a complicated movie that every film student has seen. On a technical production level, it helped establish the some of the major rules of film making. On a narrative level, it is disgusting and ignorant.

Still studied today for its impact on filmmaking and American race relations, the technical masterpiece of racist propaganda is a fascinating source of historical insight into the distorting influences on the collective memory of the American Civil War & Reconstruction. The film's perpetuation of the myth of the "Lost Cause of the Confederacy" and its use in the growth of the second KKK, make it more than just an important piece of film history, but also a troubling part of American history too.

Part I on the Civil War is particularly bad, except for the Lincoln assassination. Part II on Reconstruction is where the racism gets turned up to 11, but at least it's not as boring as the first half. Overall, you can appreciate it for its innovation, but it stands out for its historical significance and not for the value a modern audience will get.

Horrible racist propaganda crap vs stunning technical achievement? Obvs, I won't give this an 80 (like the PSI), because I don't give a shit how stunning a movie is technically if its message is dehumanizing, oppressive, abhorrent. I believe in making responsible art.

The movie is an amazing feat of a technical level but I found the movie too long and the story of the second half to be a unenjoyable chore to sit through. The first half of the movie that shows the civil war and leads up to the assassination of Lincoln was grand and reasonably paced. Worth watching once even with the objectionable material in the second half.

Ano de Centenário de André Bazin: Repassando os filmes citados em Qu'est-ce que le cinéma? Filme #35 Pois vamos lá, é uma experiência horrenda, vil e degradante, não há técnica e aprimoramento da linguagem cinematográfica que sobreviva à desonestidade narrativa deste filme. Fiquem com a obra-prima Intolerance, porque esse aqui não vale a linha que gastaram pra fazer o "uniforme" da Ku Klux Klan. DVD Obras-primas do cinema D.W. Griffith.

It is, of course, landmark filmmaking. Still, it's morally bankrupt, even for its time. Also too long.

The first part is a decent little anti-war movie with only slight racism a film made in 1915 can be somewhat forgiven for. Then it decides to dive into psycho racist non-sense and literally refuses to end. There's a good chance I just hallucinated the end credits and the movie is still engaging in Ku Klux Klan propaganda. If you must watch a movie with "ground breaking" film making I suggest one that is actually palatable.

Striking and very funny racism on that one. Quite sophisticated battle scenes, but Intolerance tops it in terms of set design and costumes. Great performances - Mae Marsh and Lillian Gish, Henry B. Walthall too. Lincoln and the black man with the shifting face were great. Loved it - we rarely see films showing a different angle to stories nowadays.

The Birth of a Nation is a technically impressive historic artifact. The story, however, is repugnant. #1001Movies

As racist as it is long, and it's very long. That said the technical achievements in the film itself are very impressive for the time.

This is a hard film to rate. Because like "Triumph of the Wills" its hate is very strong. But as a piece of cinema? It's definitely well crafted.

Normally shady shit gets punished hard by me... if those things are actively harmful. In this case the blatant racism was instead comedic and interesting, with the latter adjective mostly pertaining to the blatantness of it. Made me wonder if the shady shit of today will, 100 years from now, be far more obvious and mockworthy *ahem* *zerodarkthirtyamericansnipercough*. Of course, these films are much more subtle: but they have to be considering the information age we live in.

The film which set the template for narrative cinema, Birth of a Nation is still a driving, intense epic, but its vicious and inescapable bigotry inevitably blunts its impact. As much as one tries to separate the form from a disagreeable message, the film just feels odd- an alternate history where post-Civil-War blacks had power and the whites suffered from their rule. We just can't buy it. Worth trying to watch, at least once.
