the birth of a nation

• kötüyü savunuyor olması, filmin kötü olması demek değildir diyor ebert:
  
  to understand "the birth of a nation" we must first understand the difference between what we bring to the film, and what the film brings to us. all serious moviegoers must sooner or later arrive at a point where they see a film for what it is, and not simply for what they feel about it. "the birth of a nation" is not a bad film because it argues for evil. like riefenstahl’s “the triumph of the will^*,” it is a great film that argues for evil. to understand how it does so is to learn a great deal about film, and even something about evil.
