Here is one of the many notorious scenes in this film involving the Ku Klux Klan clad as knights and riding to the rescue of the besieged families. Note the complex narrative language, from angles and distance of shots, to the rhythm of the edits in cross-cutting and cutting from long shots to close-ups, etc.

    If I had a nickel for every pixel in this video, I wouldn't be able to buy a can of soda.

    I am currently writing a 20 page paper comparing the two movies. You summed it up in 4 words!
