From the Paper:
"D.W. Griffith's "Birth of A Nation" is both influential and controversial in the canon of film history. Innovative filmic methods, a classical and overarching storyline and poignant social lessons all contribute to D.W. Griffith's ideologies, the quintessentially bigoted and violent ideas that he aims to promote through "Birth of a Nation". These stereotypes and social relations introduced in 1915 (when the film was released for major audiences) are still prevalent in both filmic and real race and social relationships."Cite this Film Review:
