Despite it's racist theme, The Birth of a Nation is a legendary epic that revolutionized not only cinema history, but showed the power that movies actually have on the world. And if you stick with it, it's not so boring!

Griffith is a great filmmaker, but fuck this movie. It's not innovative, it's shit.
