Birth Of a Nation

Okay it's on Hulu right now and yes it is long prepare to sit for 3 hours.  No talking in the movie but in it's day it was a blockbuster film.  Some may be turned off by raciest ideas presented in the movie.  But if you look at it in the time it was made it was really a well thought out and shot film.  Not to mention the movie empowered the Clan movement of the 1920's.  It's a very interesting snap shot in time.  Definately a movie everyone should watch and appricate it for what it is.

it is.  a lot of PC people will not make it through, but it is history.

  The PC movement has banished a good many miles of film so far. This one, Triumph of the Will, most the WW2 era and before cartoons, and most of the Our Gang films because of the way Buckwheat and other Blacks were shown.
  Even Tom Sawyer is in trouble over the use of a few words.
  History is what it is and to understand it we have to be able to see it and hear it truthfuly.
