Value far outweighs its ignorant commentary, though neither should be ignored

Rating: Null/10 (16 December 2019)

What do we make of a controversial film like D.W. Griffith's "A Birth of a Nation"? To me it is a foundational piece of film that has provided a stepping stone for filmmakers throughout history. Time has proven that its value far outweighs its ignorant commentary, though neither should be ignored.
