Birth of a Nation

[Shotgun 1]

Wow, I just watched this movie for the first time.

KKK as the heroes that save the day???

The creepy thing about this film is that it is done in a manner to imply that it is historically correct... And folks in 1915, not being accustomed to watching feature-length fictional movies, might not have understood that this was "just a movie."

Interesting though... I did manage to stay awake through all 3+ hours of it... perhaps only because of its disturbing quality.

A link perhaps to some info on the film?

Interesting controversy sprung up in Boston when that film came out. At least some people even at that time were offended by the racist claptrap.
Typical Boston liberals.
