Groundbreaking... but only in production.

Rating: 3/10 (16 September 2009)

This film may have been groundbreaking, amazing, and wonderful according to people in the early 20th century, and that may be true. But only when it comes to the production of the film. The production and editing are well done, as is the cinematography, the actors also do a fine job, but that is the extent of it. I highly doubt that I would choose to watch this movie again, and I don't think that I would have chosen to watch it in the first place based solely on the original title of the film, "The Clansman." I disliked the whole story from the beginning to the end, and the controversies between the north and south. I also feel that no decent film can have the Ku Klux Klan as the protagonist. The movie may have been great for its time, but those times have changed.
