A century-old commercial

Historically speaking, the status of the birth of a country is irreplaceable, and its greatness is no less than the arrival of a train. It pioneered the transformation of films from short films to feature lengths, realized the profitability and storytelling of films, and enhanced the status of films. The plot of the film is extremely perfect, the relationship between the characters is clear, and the shooting method is very complicated for the time. It is the beginning of the development of modern film, a well-deserved milestone!

But from the plot point of view, it is unsatisfactory, throwing away political expressions such as the vilification of black people and the over-beautification of the KKK. The plot of the three-hour movie is protracted and tedious, and the portrayal and expression of the characters are unsatisfactory.

It only takes one third of the time to explain the characters. For silent films, the cost and cost of movies are extremely high. It is extremely difficult to save it, and most of the plots are wars.

In any case, for a masterpiece in the budding stage of the film more than 100 years ago, the birth of a country is the glory of the film history.

    A movie like this can never be given five stars, although from a purely artistic point of view, it couldn't be better
