I praise Birth of a Nation for its innovations and story telling.

Rating: 10/10 (12 December 1998)

Many people scoff at The Birth of a Nation when it's mentioned among the greatest films of all times. If I had my way, it would be #1. Yes, it may not be up to par with Star Wars, Titanic, or The Wizard Of Oz, but, working with what Griffith had available, an excellent piece was created. The red tint that was used when the Ku Klux Klan came on screen was truly an excellent notion that made you think twice because after all, it IS a black and white film.
