3 hours of racism? No way man.

I hated this movie when I heard about it, I hated it in film class, I think it's simply overrated.

yeah farhad, who would want to watch another 5 minutes of racism, much less 3 hours of it, silent......this little number is part of the history of the United States...most film classes blow.....- This is here, because it is an historic, cinematic document.....hell, who would want to watch more than bits and pieces??!

This should be in spanning time . . .damn you choggie kendall for ignoring the first invite. (If this is the extent of collective competition, though, then I am not too worried).

Definitely influential. Woodrow Wilson was moved to declare its "truth". Also extremely racist and xenophobic. I have to think the immigration boom, beginnings of the great migration, onset of WWI, and Chuck D's Fear of a Black Planet had something to do with that.

You see films by Eisenstein from this period and they are much, much better than this film. However, I would not argue that this one is overrated. It does a number of remarkable things with the new-fangled technology that Edison stole.

I once rented this from netflix and then promptly lost it. I found it almost 2 years later and returned it to them. I always wondered if they imagined me secretly watching it over and over again. Honestly I found it kind of boring.
