The Sudden Revival of a Long Dead Blogging Website

I am currently taking a class that requires me to post blog-esque reviews on certain films that I will watch on Tuesday nights until the May timeframe, at which point I will have finished plenty of movies relevant to the history of film in some way or another. After this point, depending on how I feel about film history or of blogging in general, I will decide whether I will carry this on or not. We will see.

The first film I will comment on is “The Birth of a Nation,” a film directed by D.W. Griffith and released in 1915. This film, though extremely controversial in todays climate, was a blockbuster success when it was first released, even being the first movie to ever be shown in the White House.
