Review

Rating: Null/10 (22 September 2009)

To me, the racially controversial 1915 silent film, "The Birth of a Nation" was nothing more than an opportunity to get some well needed shut eye. From the length of the movie, to the lagging music, it just wasn't doing it for me. Despite my personal opinion, there were some positive things to take from the film. I did appreciate the filming techniques that were used, for example the usage of cellophane to add color to the screen. This was a big deal, especially for the time it was made. Also, the scene in which Abraham Lincoln was shot was pretty intense. All in all I give "The Birth of a Nation" 1 out of 6 chicken nuggets.
