The significance of "The Birth of A Nation" is that it borrows the pattern and style of Italian epic films to form a model of Hollywood film mode. The three-hour movie, the historical landscape with the Civil War as the background, the flickering of personal emotions in front of the political curtain, not to mention the grand war scenes, the crowd scenes like tides, all let the audience and filmmakers see The power and infinite potential of movies.
The work "The Birth of A Nation" takes the film from a technical plaything to an artistic level. It is three hours long and is the first commercial film in the true sense of the word. The film can be said to be a master of artistic techniques in the early days of the film. It uses a wealth of shooting methods and editing techniques to successfully play the narrative role of montage, making the story full of rhythm and epic atmosphere. Among them, the last-minute rescue shot has become the usual routine of Hollywood commercial films since then.
