Ironic. The original W. D. Griffith BOAN also involved an attempted rape by a newly freed slave.

“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” Biden said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”

Parker, not so much.

Hollywood gave the Oscar to the pedophile rapist Roman Polanski, so this is small potatoes.

Another guilt trip, finger pointing movie. Too bad his house is made of glass.

The original film was very prophetic:

Stoneman and his protégé Silas Lynch, a mulatto exhibiting psychopathic characteristics,[17] travel to South Carolina to observe the implementation of Reconstruction policies firsthand. Black occupation soldiers are seen parading through the streets and pushing white residents aside on the sidewalks. During the election, in which Lynch is elected lieutenant governor, whites are seen being prevented from voting while blacks are observed stuffing the ballot boxes. The newly elected, mostly black members of the South Carolina legislature are shown at their desks displaying inappropriate behavior, such as one member taking off his shoe and putting his feet up on his desk, and others drinking liquor and feasting on stereotypically African American fare such as fried chicken. The legislature passes laws requiring white civilians to salute black soldiers..................

The Birth of a Nation began filming in 1914 and pioneered such camera techniques as the use of panoramic long shots, the iris effects, still-shots, night photography..........

Stop and pause on the words “night photography” What is the one night shot we all remember? If you are going to depict the clan at night you need a light source. How about burning a cross for dramatic effect? Can’t just have a weeny roast.

It was this film that taught the clan to burn crosses. Burning crosses by the klan was unknown prior to this film.

Films are propaganda, both the old one and this new one.
