I think you'll find Birth of a Nation interesting, Foxbat. I assume you know some of its history, how controversial it was even when it was made, considering who are depcited as the heroes of the piece

I've heard a lot about this one so I'm definitely curious to see for myself. I intend to watch it in the same frame of mind you need to use when watching Leni Reifensthal's
Triumph Of The Will - for historical interest only.
As for The
Passion Of Joan Of Arc - it's a real work of sheer quality - which proves that you don't always need dialogue if your visuals are simply stunning enough to carry the whole story. But, my God, the ending! It was so horrific and realistic. Absolutely fantastic stuff.
