The last hour of Birth of a Nation gets dicey. I saw it first at the DW Griffith in NYC and a crazed yenta stood up and denounced it. But it has many fine things in it and is completely innovative. To be a film buff, one has to see everything in the context of the time. But that last hour is wild!!!
Did you tell her to sit down and shut up?
I haven’t been to the city to see a movie in decades. The shows at the old Elgin in the Village would change daily, and we’d misspend hours watching all sorts - from the sublime to the ridiculous.
“...a crazed yenta...”
LOL, love that turn of phrase, I’ going to use it in the future!
