Come on, Mark! What's up with this going all technical on me? The
movie's mere reputation should be enough. I've never seen Birth of A
Nation, but I've heard and read a lot about it, though I grant that
the two are hardly comparable WRT their respective impacts on
cinematic art.

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
