This very controversial movie knows fanatic proponents and opponents.
It's quite unique how this film evokes so much praise and discontent at the same time.
The movie is based on Thomas Dixon's racist play 'the clansman: an historical romance of the ku klux klan'. However many sources claim that D.W. Griffith wasn't racist at all.
The technical and artistic qualities of this movie stand high above it's immoral message.
All the possibilities of the movie medium are used and broadened and that's why D.W. Griffith is considered a pioneer.
Watch the first real historical epos with the first dramatic close-up's ever, 'new' montage techniques and parallel action shots.
