Birth of a Nation, part 3

Comment: Today we have viewed the rape/suicide section and are making are way through the KKK section. It is interesting to see how the KKK is portrayed during this time frame. Most of the movies and shows I have seen don't come across they same way. Definitely a time difference in then versus now.
The portrayal of the blacks is very over the top in how they are trying to gain control over everything. AS well lusting for white women. This really shows the male gaze for either side of the representation of the races. Male dominated on both sides.
Hmm, interesting how the conflict of the KKK and the blacks is almost like a war set up. Not quite the direction I would have thought it would have been taken. Seems to be more like a revolt than pure racism. It has become the white army attacking the black army. Very strong separation of the races with little for the supporters for the opposite sides.

So far it has been an interesting film. It appears that we will not be seeing the end of the movie due to time constraints. I'll have to track it down some time to see the end.
