Overrated. Boring. There are far better Silent Films

Rating: Null/10 (4 October 2004)

Let me start by saying I am a lover of all decades of films. With the recent controversy surrounding this film, it was time for me to give my two cents. I barely made it through the film....Fast Forwarded a lot.
The truth is this film is boring. OK. So it was the first feature film every made. If D.W. had failed....another person would have tried to make a feature film. So big deal that it is the first.
I'd say there are ten silent films worth seeing....Laurel & Hardy, Buster Keaton, and F.W. Murau take up most of those titles.
But this and Intolerance are so dated its not worth exploring.
So I ask, would anyone want to join the KKK after seeing this film? I think 90% of the general audience would fall asleep.
