సినిమా తీయటం ఒక ఆర్ట్... అదే విధంగా సినిమా చూడటం కూడా ఆర్ట్ అనే అనుకోవాలి. సినిమా చూడటం అనే ప్రక్రియ ఒక పగటికల కనటం లాంటిది. దర్శకుడు చెప్పాలనుకున్న విషయాన్ని ఎంత కవితాత్మకంగా చెప్పాడో, ఎంత లోతైన అర్థంతో ఒక షాట్ డిజైన్ చేసాడో తెలియకపోతే ఆ సినిమా పూర్తిగా అర్థం కాదు.. కొన్ని సినిమాలకి ప్రాంతం, భాష, టైం పీరియడ్ లాంటి వాటితో సంబంధం ఉండదు. ప్రపంచంలో ఏ మూలన ఏ భాషకి చెందిన మనిషైనా ఆ సినిమా తనకు సంబంధించినదే అనుకొని అనుభూతి చెందుతాడు.

For over a century, cinephiles and film scholars have had to grapple with an ugly artifact that sits at the beginnings of film history. D. W. Griffith's profoundly racist epic, The Birth of a Nation, inspired controversy and protest at its 1915 release and was defended as both a true history of Reconstruction (although it was based on fiction) and a new achievement in cinematic art. Paul McEwan examines the long and shifting history of its reception, revealing how the film became not just a cinematic landmark but also an influential force in American aesthetics and intellectual life.
