The Birth of Cinema

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2014)

This movie is racist ? YES ; his cinematic language is good? it's perfect. This film production is controversial , but his plot is exciting, the story is touching, all the performances are excellent , the film presents us a cynical way , is direct with historical facts , all production is most blatant , but Griffith 's narrative is sweet and conveys feelings .
Part 1: the American Civil War , displayed strongly with a dramatic charge, the actors express emotions with their eyes , and her patriot message shows in the sharpest scenes.
Part 2: reconstruction offers tragedy , justice and revenge , here feelings are more acute , the Ku Klux Kan glorifies , everything is so brutally racist, the struggle for survival is overwhelming.
Here African Americans are the villains , they show threatening looks , are murderers, his eyes are sexual threats; Heroes white men are always in constant struggle , they apply their justice from the very personal point of view , they protect their wives and families, the film starts with two families separated by the war , and ends with a spectacular rescue where African Americans are defeated.
There is a shocking scene , a white girl commits suicide to avoid being raped by an African American , this scene is this scene is memorable, the music is fine, Griffith defends freedom of expression through his film, but what matters most is the film quality.
This is cinema quality, pure talent.
