Intolerance/YMMV


 * Anvilicious: This film is made of Moral-Anvil.
 * Author's Saving Throw: For The Birth of a Nation
 * The Atoner: Griffith, possibly.
 * Funny Aneurysm Moment: Griffith attempted to end the film on a glorious note with a special-effects shot of an immense cross of light appearing in the sky. Many contemporary viewers mistake this image for an atomic explosion.
 * Vindicated By History: The film was such a failure at the box office that it bankrupted Griffith's studio. Today, it's considered to by some to be one of the greatest silent films.
