History, not just the movie, but the thinking behind the movie. President Woodrow Wilson, who was from Virginia, thought it was wonderful. He, also allow the firing of all southern blacks from the Post Office service during his term in office. This movie was a top grossing film for its time and Griffith was very upset that people called him raciest for its content. Griffith was honored for his innovation in film making.

THE MOVIE REVEALS THE BLANT DISCRIMATION AND RACISM DURING TIME PERIOD. OUR NATION HAS COME A LONG WAY FROM THOSE DAYS BUT STILL NEEDS WORK..

This is unlike anything I've seen before. Great cinematography, frightening message. Racism from another age. Fascinating and repulsive at once. Not for the easily offended.

This DVD presentation of D. W.'s epic is fascinating and full of information and extras. Seeing a film of D.W. talking about the film and his family ties to the Civil War is revealing and worth the price of the set. I wish they could have gotten a African American historian to put it all in context of that day. The U.S. was still very wounded by the war and reconstruction. It seems that today all civil rights history begins with MLK. Until this DVD, I didn't know that the NAACP has been around for a very long time. Film and history buffs alike with really be glad to have this set in their film library.
This movie is something you'll most likely enjoy. It's a fairly accurate piece based on America's real history. It shows the realistic KKK, racism's improvements, and even a great reinactment of Lincoln's assaination. I really enjoyed watching this and it can almost be compared to Roots. Thanks For Reading, And I Hope I Helped, Justin
