watch all movies on AFI's 100 Best movies list (read all 43 entries…)
62/100 - Birth Of A Nation 3 years ago

Well, that was an arduous 3 hours. I ended up splitting it over a few days because I just couldn’t get into it.

I watched the last 30 minutes or so in fast forward because it’s a silent movie anyway. The text stays up on the screen long enough to read at double-speed and I’d heard all of the classical music a couple of times by that point.

Basically it’s a story of the American Civil War and then a bunch of stuff about how black people are bad and praise god almighty for the KKK… I would have turned this off if it wasn’t on the list. Not even sure how it made the list in the first place.

Oh yeah. I think Silas Lynch is a stupid name for a black character (played by a white actor) in a movie featuring the KKK. Oh well.

You can

avoid watching this unless you have a very good reason, or a goal, or 3 hours in which you want nothing more than to bore yourself ;)

I endured it almost 20 years ago

in Film Analysis class at the local college.

Yes, the KKK riding to the rescue.

It is, of course, Michael Richards favorite film.

Watch what you say

or he’ll have you upside-down with a fork inserted somewhere very uncomfortable (like the back of a Volkswagen).
