Question: Do both films George Washington (Film) and The Battle Of The Sexes (1928 Film) have the directors that share the same nationality?

George Washington is a 2000 American drama film written and directed by David Gordon Green. Its story centers on a group of children in a depressed small town in North Carolina who band together to cover up a tragic mistake. Although it was not widely seen due to having had a very limited release, the film received wide praise from critics. <SEP> The film was a remake by Griffith of an earlier film he directed in 1914, which starred Lillian Gish. Both films are based on the novel" The Single Standard" by Daniel Carson Goodman; the story was adapted for this production by Gerrit J. Lloyd. The film was released as both a silent film, and in a sound version using the Movietone sound- on- film system. In 2004, the film was released on DVD by Image Entertainment. The theme song of the motion picture," Just a Sweetheart", by Dave Dryer, Josef Pasternack, and Nathaniel Shilkret( recorded versions of which are available, for example, on a commercially issued Paul Whiteman CD) was omitted from the DVD. The Battle of the Sexes is a 1928 American comedy film directed by D. W. Griffith, starring Jean Hersholt, Phyllis Haver, Belle Bennett, Don Alvarado, and Sally O'Neil, and released by United Artists. <SEP> He directed the dramas" George Washington"( 2000)," All the Real Girls"( 2003), and" Snow Angels"( 2007), as well as the thriller" Undertow"( 2004), all of which he wrote or co-wrote. In 2008, Green transitioned into comedy, directing the films" Pineapple Express"( 2008)," Your Highness" and" The Sitter"( both 2011). He returned to his dramatic roots with the independent films" Prince Avalanche" and" Joe"( both 2013), followed by the films" Manglehorn"( 2014)," Our Brand Is Crisis"( 2015), and" Stronger"( 2017). Green also directed the slasher horror film" Halloween"( 2018), which he co-wrote with frequent collaborator Danny McBride. He is also set to direct the next two installments of the franchise. Green also directed episodes of the acclaimed comedy series" Eastbound& Down"( 2009 – 2013)," Red Oaks"( 2014 – 17)," Vice Principals"( 2016 – 17), and" The Righteous Gemstones"( 2019 – present), on all of which he additionally served as executive producer. David Gordon Green( born April 9, 1975) is an American filmmaker. <SEP> Admiral of the Fleet Sir George Rooke( 1650 – 24 January 1709) was an English naval officer. As a junior officer he saw action at the Battle of Solebay and again at the Battle of Schooneveld during the Third Anglo- Dutch War. As a captain, he conveyed Prince William of Orange to England and took part in the Battle of Bantry Bay during the Williamite War in Ireland. As a flag officer, Rooke commanded a division of the Royal Navy during their defeat at the Battle of Beachy Head. He also commanded a division at the Battle of Barfleur and distinguished himself at the Battle of La Hogue. He was later defeated while escorting a convoy at the Battle of Lagos. Rooke commanded the unsuccessful allied expedition against Cádiz but on the passage home he destroyed the Spanish treasure fleet at the Battle of Vigo Bay in the opening stages of the War of the Spanish Succession. He also commanded the allied naval forces at the capture of Gibraltar and attacked the French fleet at the Battle of Málaga. <SEP> Widely considered as the most important filmmaker of his generation, he pioneered the feature- length movie and many enduring cinematic techniques, such as the close- up. His film" The Birth of a Nation"( 1915) broke box- office records but also attracted much controversy, as it depicted African Americans in a negative light and glorified the Ku Klux Klan. David Wark Griffith( January 22, 1875 – July 23, 1948) was an American film director. " Intolerance"( 1916) was made as an answer to his critics. Several of Griffith's later films were also successful, including" Broken Blossoms"( 1919)," Way Down East"( 1920), and" Orphans of the Storm"( 1921), but the high costs he incurred for production and promotion often led to commercial failure. He had made roughly 500 films by the time of his final feature," The Struggle"( 1931). Together with Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, and Douglas Fairbanks, he founded United Artists, enabling them to control their own interests, rather than depending on commercial studios. Griffith was a founder member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. <SEP> The Battle of the Sexes is a 1914 American silent drama film directed by D. W. Griffith for the Majestic Motion Picture Company. No complete prints of the film are known to exist, however, a fragment has survived. Griffith remade the film as" The Battle of the Sexes" in 1928 as a comedy- drama and this latter version is available on DVD.
