The Birth of a Nation
Letterboxd Season Challenge 2015-16
Week 1: September 6th-12th
<PERSON>
I choosed "The Birth of a Nation" for my first movie in the Letterboxd Season Challenge. And I did it on purpose. I was procrastinating about watching this one for, I think, 7 years. 241
I'd already seen another movies by <PERSON>, like "Intolerance", "Way Down East" and "Broken Blossoms", and I was really curious about "The Birth of a Nation" because of the history. I'd knew about the denouces of racism and censorship that <PERSON> had received at the time, and it got my special attention.
I confess that it was really hard for me watching this one. I love <PERSON>'s movies, but this one was way behind the other ones, like "intolerance" - and I think you'll all disagree.
But <PERSON> was a genious as a director, and this is undeniable.
ps.: I love the fact that people called him racist, because of this he could gave me the masterpiece "Intolerance". Thank you, you all!
