Most absurd film ever

Rating: 6/10 (18 October 2003)

D.W. Griffith must have been a complete idiot! You won't believe this film. The first half is interesting. Then, part 2! A complete disgrace. It was so absurd I wouldn't have been paid to finish it. After the civil war the film depicts blacks as "ruling" towns and being cruel to white people and Congress is shown as being completely black with the members in top hats acting silly, rolling on the floor, etc. And to top it off because of these events the film shows the KKK emerging to bring back equality and justice. Most of the "black" actors are whites wearing black face paint. Truly bizarre. I cannot recommend this film even as a curiosity piece.
