Sadly Over-hyped

It is a performances centric movie

Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It's appropriate that as D.W. Griffith was born in Kentucky that he should act in a short film with the same title. He doesn't move me as an actor, but I do appreciate that this was his baptism of fire into the industry. Failed footballers like good managers in the same way that failed actors make better directors.
