It's distracting as all hell because it takes away from any actual discussion on the site if there was any to be had in the first place. It makes it so obvious that the site is catering to a specific demographic by removing reviews before a film has an official release date because of what happened on their site with the release of Captain Marvel earlier this year. Also any film featuring teenage girls or trans people become some of absurdly highest rated films of the year or on the site in general. It's a mess all around.

I just recently got into film & I downloaded this highly rated film. I got all cozy, grabbed a drink & it turned out to be about a hideous tranny prostitute. All the reviews referred to the character as “she”. I’ll never understand the current need to be “woke”

it's a very useful tool to catalogue all the movie you have and haven't seen and it's really useful for finding new movies with how easily you can go through entire discographies. I think the site itself is good but like 99% of the people who use it are enormous faggots. People who unironically review movies on letterboxd like their opinion actually matters are pure cringe.

>discographies

the LB enhanced addon

>discographies
lmao i meant filmographies

the quality of the reviews is garbage now, but it's still the best site to find great films

That's a big red flag if I ever saw one

If a person has logged less than a combined total of 250 films from the 1910s - 1940s they should be prohibited from posting

go ahead, prohibit me

yeah only mindless drones give a fuck about what someone else thinks of a movie. I’ve seen some of my all time favorites ranked at 2/5 for no apparent reason

or maybe I just have shit taste?

these are the kind of faggots who use letterboxd
if you make an account just use it as a watchlist tool and ignore every single user on it

Yeah I agree. Im trying to watch older films, I know and admit that I dont have great taste but im trying to improve what I watch.

D. W. Griffith’s legendary controversial epic: Birth of a Nation: Portrait of a historical memory in America as neo-Roman romantic-fantasy — synthesized as absurdist comedy. First, we have part one, much tamer than part two and much more seriously structured with regard to traditional storytelling. Part one has a real concentrated sentimentalizing effort, the warm small mannerisms and movements of the characters (set up as tragedy). My favorite scene is still one towards the beginning when our hero protagonist ‘Ben Cameron’ (who’s name sounds like something out of Star Wars (more on that later)) jogs from the right offscreen into frame, and slightly turns around to his left. Griffith invokes so much warmth in the first half organic movements of his characters, the shot alone seems incredibly modern and is almost surreal and immersive breaking in its subtlety. But even for all the Shakespearean tragedy that Griffith aspires to, the absurdist comedic truth of Griffith’s imaginative aim still leaks through in part one and completely becomes unrestrained in part two.

For everything said about the controversial nature of Griffith’s epic, when you have scenes like the mixed race protégé of the ‘Uncrowned King’—Silas Lynch — maniacally ranting about creating a new black ‘empire’ with white Elsie Stoneman (daughter of the ‘Uncrowned King’) as his queen, you have to re-examine your mental faculties and judgement if you’re not seeing this as the hilariously absurd culmination of Griffith’s beautiful childlike imagination. Just look at the usage of the words ‘King’ or ‘queen’ or empire’, the tone and context is completely off the rails. Griffith’s drunken passionate imagination twists and synthesizes itself in a microcosmic symbol of the spirit of America’s drunken passionate imagination. Before the ‘Uncrowned King’ is Uncrowned he is merely just the master of congress under Lincoln, his name is Austin Stoneman.

The change from part one to part two, from the focus of the Civil War to the reconstruction period, twists and inverts everything about the film. The characters become ‘Kramer-ized’ in a fashion all to familiar to the viewers of late 20th-early 21st century big studio sitcoms, they become extreme parodies of themselves. Griffith’s ‘Luke Skywalker’ (Ben Cameron) ‘the little colonel’, the heartwarming image of the scrappy underdog soul of the south, twisted and transformed as thelemic ritual practicing warlock. Almost every scene featuring the Ku Klux Klan baked in a rage red color that harkens the mind back to ancient Bronze Age or antiquarian cults. Austin Stoneman, the one legged wig wearing Afro-fetishist, already comedic in tone, is transformed into Darth Vader (his gait and presence on screen is extremely similar).

Griffith’s microcosmic creation is a clear representation of the twisted macrocosm of the later development of the visual medium in the later 20th century, the exaggerated racial stereotypes, the neo-Greek/Roman emotional sentiments. Even over 100 years later the biggest epic of the past decade - Disney’s ‘Infinity War’ is a twisted and disturbing inversion of the proto-typical Greek tragedy. And yes, this cyclical motion throughout time is an ‘infinite war’. Since the beginning of the fall of humanity these same rising tides of mirth and creative inspiration will be destroyed and inverted into a synthesized disturbing ‘comedy’, where even the irony stops being funny and all is destroyed or turned to ash. Until we see the day that Griffith beautiful paints at the end, with Christ the redeemer dutifully vigil over the shared fraternity of man, no inversions, no twisting, a victory over the man on the horse swinging his sword tyrannically reigning over the soul of humanity, which Griffith also paints in juxtaposition to Christ’s stewardship.

is birth of a nation actually unironically worth watching?

Represented in these end images is part one and part two of the very film itself, which is a microcosm of the soul of humanity, one part romantic-fantasy — another part disturbing-‘comedy’. So, now, let us wait for that day brothers, the victory of Christ the redeemer over the sword wielding tyrant, an end to the infinity War and the beginning of a mirthful era that will never be inverted. Liberty and union, one and inseparable, now and forever!

There is letterboxd.com user who rates other movie half and shill his movie, who his name i forgot?

youtube.com/watch?v=aWroitR49Uc

I liked it. The beginning is a little slow, but you get used to it as the film goes on. The first half is really just a Civil War drama, and its depiction of the war is a bit more nuanced than you'd think given the film's reputation. The second half is where most of the racist parts are, and you kinda just have to get passed that to enjoy it. If you're at all interested in watching it, I recommend you do. I don't think it should be your first silent film though.

Its not my first though I am not that well versed in the genre. I think I'll give it a try during college. Thanks user.

What he doesn’t understand is that he thinks Griffith is some calculating racist genius when really he’s basically just the early 20th century version of George Lucas. The racist and offending parts are really just as comedically absurd and childish as they are disturbing. Griffith’s intertiles and his whole tone of written text in the film really just prove that he’s sort of a misinformed hopeless romantic.

Has anyone actually seen the 2016 one? From what I've heard, it's not a remake, just a movie with the same name but different story

Needs a free speech alternative. All of the funniest users, incluing Uwe Boll, I've found have been shadow banned or terminated by trigger-happy mods. There are a lot of great writers on there if you're willing to go digging and sort reviews by lowest rating to find the contrarians.

Reviews are good when they're actual reviews and not one line zingers, in-character SNL audition tapes, or driven by a clear agenda.

Good site for keeping a movie watching diary, but the reviews are mostly garbage, and most people don't know how to rate movies.

The most popular "review" of Three Billboards... is a prime example of garbage reviews.

absolutely correct

A pretty good site for logging films and keeping track of what you need to watch, I found it pretty useful during my university studies. The community, however, shouldn't be touched with a ten-foot pole.
