Review of The Birth of a Nation (1915) by Sylvester K — 12 Aug 2016
People get easily offended by old films and not appreciate the scale of the film. The Birth of a Nation was an epic historical drama about the American civil war and the rise of Ku Klux Klan. It was not where near the accuracy of the real history but it was a pretty amazing film utilizing a lot of the modern film making techniques at the standard of the time.
There were some really amazing scenes like the fall from the cliff, the battles and courthouse assembly. One of the best silents films in the history of cinema.
