Fun Fact...There is a stage play called Merton & The Movies...This...Isn't it...Most of this footage is lifted in generous chunks from a 1980 BBC 13 part Doc called "Hollywood"...I do appreciate Mr. Merton's taking us to original locals in the modern day...FYI Merton &/Of The Movies was a play Buster Keaton toured with his wife...Anything about Buster you ever wished to know...A PBS American Master's Buster Keaton: A Hard Act To Follow...It's out there and it's stellar...Thanks for this upload...Well worth the view...

In terms of filmmaking, "Birth of a Nation" is such a masterpiece for it's time; so unfortunate that D.W. Griffith chose to make such a deceitful and poisonous film. I guess he joins Leni Riefenstahl in infamy.

@petesmitt 2 жыл бұрын

Despite its controversial story, the film has been praised by film critics, with Ebert mentioning its use as a historical tool: "The Birth of a Nation is not a bad film because it argues for evil. Like Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will, it is a great film that argues for evil. To understand how it does so is to learn a great deal about film, and even something about evil.

Not to justify the racist treatment of former slaves, DW was the son of a Confederate Colonel which may explain his film’s portrayal.

This isn't bad as far as it goes; I like the on-location shooting, and the host is ok. However, it borrows MASSIVELY from the already-existing, and COMPLETE, history of silent film called "Hollywood: A Celebration of Silent Film" by the great Kevin Brownlow. In fact, the Allan Dwan interview is taken right from THAT documentary. Could've at least credited it.

I tuned into this for some history and perspective on the film and television industries. I was exhausted before the end of episode one because for each and every little factoid given the viewer is subjected to a video clip. That got to be so distracting that I wasn't picking up on what he saying. Pity.

That Wagner theory was such a stretch. Birth of a nation is techinally impressive and a masterpiece of its era but obviously racist and flawed, end of story. So annoying that they spent so much time cherry-picking his films/ bad scenes.
