I watched the movie for more than three hours for three days. I can only say that watching this movie really requires patience. There is no lines, the pictures are boring, and the relationship between the characters is a bit awkward. However, this movie really has epoch-making significance. It is the first epic blockbuster of war narrative. The director’s exquisite editing and shooting techniques are really awesome when viewed at the time, especially for the shooting of war scenes. The big vision and the scene scheduling can be said to be unique, and the color is also obvious. Due to technical reasons, the colored filters of the entire screen are mainly red, blue and yellow. The big red that expresses the fierce conflict is mainly reflected in the war scene. The hot red brings great visual conflict. The blue itself has melancholy, which is reflected in the love of men and women and the miserable lives of slaves. There is also earthy yellow, which appears in the change of political power, in addition to scenes and colors. , And its narrative, two lines in parallel, in the context of the American Civil War, narrates the love between the two big families of the North and the South, and the impact of the war on them. The wrong political orientation of the film also affected many later second generations of the KKK. It can be said to be typical of racism and vilification of blacks. The behavior shown in the film is that after the victory of the Civil War, blacks became leaders and persecuted whites. , And even kidnapped white women in the street, and for the KKK, they tried their best to beautify them. They are heroes who save the white people who are persecuted by blacks. Their behavior is to uphold justice and the rights of whites. However, this does not affect the significance of this film in film history, transcending the times. As for how posterity views this movie, it doesn't really matter anymore. Finally, I want to say one more thing, I haven't finished watching this movie.
