Skillfully Executed Hate Cinema

Rating: 1/10 (23 November 2003)

This racist film doesn't warrant in-depth critique. And it is amazing that
it still gets high praise and occasional parenthetical criticism. While
Griffith was an innovator in visual storytelling, he was clearly no more
than a stone-cold racist, who filled the silver screen with lies and hatred.
It is no wonder that studies showed that in many areas where "The Birth of a
Nation" was shown, racist attacks against African-Americans increased
sharply.
Griffith was nothing better than a racist savage who knew how to make
movies. And those who praise him and make excuses for his cinematic bigotry
simply prove how strong Racism continues to be in the world
today.
