    I think the best actors in the world are the kind that can make you hate them. They make you forget it's just a movie and they are only reading a script. Awesome job to everyone

      He actually said "It is like writing history with lightning. And my only regret is that it is all so terribly true", and the first part is by most thought of as a commentary on the technical aspects, given how it was the first piece of narrative art to use film technology to create a full length story with the medium. The latter half is disputed by historians because he never gave it any further context
      Woodrow Wilson was many things, but he wasn´t ignorant of his history. Stay woke

    Also, i like the contrast between the "White Power" scene and the "Black Power" scene. The former chants superiority and dominance, while the the latter chants about black people someday finally having power at all, as much power as the majority in the country.

    It's actually unconfirmed if Woodrow Wilson said the movie was "history written with lightning" but considering his attitude towards black people and the fact that he screened it as a favor to his old college buddy Tom Dixon (who wrote the movie), I wouldn't put it past him

He hated South Africans, sabotaged other freedom fighters and often made his nieces and other kids sleep with him in the same room ( not sexually, but it wasn't consensual for sure).

      I disagree completely. I think showing these 2 scenes together is to show that the black power movement was born completely out of necessity, for black people to defend themselves against the white supremacist movement. And the fact that a defensive movement made in response to white supremacy is equated to white supremacy at all is why this scene was made

Where there's white power there will be black power and no hero is without a villain or vice versa. Idk glimpses into history like this almost makes me feel like we're constantly reminded and reminding ourselves of how much we are different rather the same and how much more evil one group is to another which only raises more opposition. Like a cycle of misunderstanding and delusion.
