  1. The first #studio in #CulverCity was #TriangleStudios, opening in 1915 before shutting down in 1919. Founded by brothers Harry and #RoyAitken after the release of #BirthofaNation, the goal was to build off the careers of #DWGriffith, #ThomasInce and #MackSennett. This is one of the few buildings remaining.

  2. This was the second time I’ve watched “Birth of a Nation” and tbh that was two times too many

    I got hooked because it was teatime and there was fuck-all I could find on my 28 streaming services and Twilight was just on telly. Sooo... now I have to re-watch the rest.

    As popcorn films, they're not bad. The politics - fucking hell, there's a huge NOPE about once every ten minutes.

    But, hey, nowhere near as bad as #BirthOfANation or #BreakfastAtTiffanys and they're lauded works.

  14. This one is only for students of the #craft and #art of #film.

    Repeated use of *the* #homophobic slur bothers me, though that was how most people spoke publicly in that era, and even into this century.

    #Misogyny is also open here.

    Both so casually accepted and expressed it really reduces the value of watching this to being purely technical for most people.

    I won't watch #BirthOfANation regardless of its place in #cinematic #history.

    The originality of this can't negate its open #bigotry

  18. 9/23 Among other things, Wilson hosted a screening of a new thing, a movie, #BirthofANation, which portrayed the #KKK as "a heroic force, necessary to preserve American values, protect white women, and maintain #WhiteSupremacy".

    Celebrating this movie in the White House legitimized #WhiteSupremacy and connected it to Washington, the north!

    Jim Crow, lynchings, Confederate symbol installations all grew in his wake. Not coincidence.
