Because "The Birth of a Nation" is so influential and the film is not good at the box office, the film has long been submerged in history except for the attention of researchers, but today, it can be seen that Griffith's editing and Montage, it can be said that he is commercial, but his creativity and ideas are not inferior to those of the researchers in the former Soviet Union and Paris. The film still adheres to Griffith's concept of seamless editing. The difference is that the narrative of the film is not linear. Instead, it is composed of multiple parallel paragraphs of four parallel stories.

The depth of SIFF2016 is a little less, but the breadth is shocking. It is difficult to find a decent opponent until today, especially the grand scene of Babylon is even more impressive. The only regret is that the film seems to focus on Babylon and Babylon. These two timelines in modern times, the other two seem to have insufficient narrative and are a little unbalanced on the macro level, but the other two are impeccable in terms of performance and production.
