Oh no, imagine film historians and critics talking about films, rather than about racism and siderodromophobia.
If only it was possible to chud people IRL. Then they'd learn.

Isn't that how this shit works? That with time the politics of the movie become erased and the art starts becoming more visible? Battleship Potemkin is basically Soviet propaganda, but now it's looked at more for what it did for kinematography. By the way i'm a stupid Euro so i don't know what Birth of a Nation really is about .

Funny, Griffith made a movie about intolerance:

Literally saying you should tolerate Nazis.

Intolerance is the first Hollywood epic imo. The Babylon section is basically the template for golden age Hollywood historical epic with huge sets and massive amounts of actors

The part where you cast incendio on the gender clinic and then lynch the doctors with floating nooses went a little far for my tastes, ngl

Yeah, people are forgetting that you don't actually HAVE to execute the doctors, the quest log is a little misleading. I just turned them into cockroaches and still got the XP

It’s an image from the play book for the play The Clansman (what the birth or a nation is based on) I assume it’s a normal guy asking a clansman if he’s worried he’ll be exposed

Burn down the library of congress, they are holding racist movies to esteem and platforming them
They should be in the library of problematic movies and every movie added has a mandatory 30min educational video on all the ways it's racist and wrong

It’s actually really funny to tell on yourself with this comparison, because if you really think Birth of a Nation isnt a great film and shouldnt be held up as one you view film as a not as a medium for art but for commercial entertainment. The exact people who say we shouldnt like that movie are purely marvel fans who ignore that Stan Lee was a piece of shit anyway

He a showman and editor first and writer second so he publicly takes nearly all the credit for the silver age of marvel when marvel artists were expected to draw, plot, and even write their own comics in some cases where Stan would then edit the dialog. Stan Lee certainly played a very important editorial role in marvel but he was better at reigning an artists creativity in rather than creating shit himself. He was also involved in a suspicious level of dot com scam companies after he left marvel.

If Stan was alive today they’d hate him because he was a big centrist and didn’t support political radicals. Disney has just washed his image into the nice old man who made marvel and was progressive.

This is actually how film historians/film critics talk about Birth Of A Nation. They'd rather talk about its technical inavations instead of the racism, historical revisionism al, and the fact that it's way too long.:
