Why is it a masterpiece?

Rating: 10/10 (21 March 2003)

I've read the comments stating that this film is so racist.. I agree! In fact it's really disgusting and bullsh.t! But on the other hand this film is really a masterpiece because David Griffith created the rules for the narrative film with this feature. He is so racist but also a very genius one. Watch it as if it's telling an imaginary story on an imaginary land, you'll see how powerful the movie is. It is one of the starting points of todays cinema. Editing, shots, performances are terrific for that era..
