At last, the dreamy critical issue of this shaking masterpiece !
Now it is done. A definitive edition of this cursed and most acclaimed masterwork. Tinted ; original theatrical score ; comprehensive narrative of the making with screened rehearsals ; interview with the director which allows to hear his rich and deep voice, obviously for the only time ; the complete trial with the NAACP by scanned archives and a link to the missing scenes ; posters, production photographs, cartoons, advertising, and seven short movies on the civil war theme, surprisingly various in their treatment (both sides' view, man's cowardice, female heroism). A unique occasion to try and understand why Griffith adopted such a sectarian approach and was followed by his team, the executives and such a wide audience, as to measure how decisive it was in paradoxically stimulating the fight for coloured people's rights. What remains is a true epic and a springboard for many talents : Raoul Walsh, John Ford, Billy Bitzer, Henry Walthall, Robert Harron, Walter Long, George Siegman, Myriam Cooper, Mae Marsh and, of course, Lillian Gish (who reveals even more beautiful in the rehearsal of the iconic scene of nearly rape by Silas Lynch). Maybe it will finally be « history written with lightning ». Don't miss it !Lire l'avis complet

A look at innovation in film making and a sad point of view.
History, not just the movie, but the thinking behind the movie. President Woodrow Wilson, who was from Virginia, thought it was wonderful. He, also allow the firing of all southern blacks from the Post Office service during his term in office. This movie was a top grossing film for its time and Griffith was very upset that people called him raciest for its content. Griffith was honored for his innovation in film making.Lire l'avis complet

TITLE FITS THE CHANGES WE HAD TO COVERCOME BUT STILL MORK TO DO!
THE MOVIE REVEALS THE BLANT DISCRIMATION AND RACISM DURING TIME PERIOD. OUR NATION HAS COME A LONG WAY FROM THOSE DAYS BUT STILL NEEDS WORK..

Great recruiting film for the Klan.
This is unlike anything I've seen before. Great cinematography, frightening message. Racism from another age. Fascinating and repulsive at once. Not for the easily offended.
