saceThe point is stupid. There are communist propaganda by the works of Eisenstein or Pudovkin that are pretty much inherently left-leaning or perhaps anti-communist in a way. However, silent films have no political leanings, instead its a part of cinema history where innovations exist during that time. Griffith is anti-racist after BoaN because Intolerance is more of an antithesis of the film he made before. I consider that a masterpiece of cinema and even peerless in that manner. The wild mass psychosis mind viewed silent films unwatchable, but directors like Micheaux for example was a real hustler. I don't trust no one from "film twitter" to "letterboxd users."
It wasn't a 'point' as much as an observation of a subsect of online film fandom, I was describing a kind of film fan, that was all, these people are out there whether you 'trust' them or not, there is no wider point to my observation beyond that it's weird how many silent fans are like that, not the majority, but it's a classifiable type.
I do agree that Griffith's politics are unclassifiable to the extent he could be basically described as apolitical, he was basically a free speech absolutist at the very least. I don't think you can describe him as anti-racist however, regardless of the surface-level obvious factors like BoaN being a film in which the Ku Klux Klan are the good guys, the depiction of the mixed-race characters shows a viewpoint that black ancestry predisposes people to carry out violent and sexual assaults
Regardless of how genuinely moving his pro-tolerance approach was in his next film, none of it does anything to apologise for his prior depiction of black people as subhuman. You surely must know that he didn't mean the film as a counter to the intolerance depicted in BoaN, but a counter to the intolerance he felt had been levelled at him by black organisations and allies in response to the film. Griffith wanted to counter what he saw as a prevailing Northern narrative of the Civil War, and felt the Southern side of the story had been suppressed following the Northern victory. Though the interracial romance depicted in Broken Blossoms does show racial tolerance, describing Griffith as anti-racist is profoundly inaccurate. Despite the many contradictions of his work, one of the only constants is anti-black racism, people often cite A Rose of Kentucky as an earlier movie of his where the Klan are the bad guys, but the hooded organisation depicted there were a different one set up in response to tobacco regulation. I'm tired of seeing people act like somehow BoaN didn't reflect his views but Intolerance did, he repeatedly said that he considered BoaN to be a fundamentally accurate account of how he saw the Civil War and reconstruction eras, I don't think he intended for his film to inspire the resurrection of the Klan, but he was obviously racist.

smile nowmost books have garbage writing
Mostly everything is garbage, but it’s an absolute necessity. Everything is iterative in some capacity and you need that s*** to get to the good s***, and you need the good s*** to get to the great s***.
And you need the bad s*** to be inspired by the great s*** so you can be reminded of how great the great s*** really is, and be inspired to make more s*** s*** so your s*** later on down the line leads to someone else making great s***, and then either you kill yourself or die penniless and unappreciated by anyone.

pretentious losers be like “go read a book, get educated” like half the books being written aren’t written by people who have so little reading comprehension it’s actually a f***ing joke
I wrote an erotica about a centaur and a woman falling in love. Legit just wrote the most foul s*** and expanding every sentence with verbs and adjectives. Got 110 pages worth. Self published it on amazon and s*** sold 8,000 copies and paid for 2 semesters of school.
I have no writing experience. That s*** easy as hell 🔥🔥🔥🔥
