The Birth of a Nation
I think everyone would agree this is one long film. Three hours of non-stop black and white footage nearly drov me crazy, but I tried to concentrate and take it all in for this review anyway. Let me start by saying that movies shouldnt have one-million plots... Ok, so first we started with brothers going to war (I think) then one died, one came back, lincon was sho, the black people were set free, the KKK came and rescued the day. Now please dont think for ONE minute I am racist, I am just writing what this KKK propaganda film was about.
I hate to say it but thats basically all I got out of the film. As you may have guessed, actors from 1915 werent that wonderful and probably hadn't recieved any sort of training. Maybe if the actors didn't over-react with their emotions so much, I might have understood at least 20 minutes of this film.
My rating? 3/10
