Title: birth of another nation
Review: ive seen several d. w. griffith films, and i have managed an appreciation for silent cinema (granted, those we see today tend to be la creme-de-la-creme). however, i found this stilted and pageant-like telling of the american revolution a bloody bore. the only interesting character is lionel barrymore as the villainous captain butler, and even he is not hammy enough to be fun. likewise, the only exciting sequence is the ride of paul revere. tho purportedly agood deal of the film is lost, it doesnt strike me as if it would be bettered by additional scenes. a big disappointment for me.
