and "Birth of a Nation" is as politically incorrect as it gets.
However; O'Henry died penniless and penned "The Cop and the Anthem" and he was as great a short stort writer as Maxim Gorky
D.W. Griffith died penniless too yet cinema owes him a helluva lot
In 1916 planes still had 2 or 3 wings and couldn't hit 100 mph; except in a dive
By 1981 the Saab Viggen flew 9 times the speed of sound, and movie theatre goers had vastly enhanced cultural expectations over their Edwardian predecessors (and THAT was 1/4 century ago!)
Don't knock the Unknown Welshman; he was an artist and a visionary.
All progress in culture is due to those rare individuals that have the courage to push the envelope
