I don't have a lot I want to say about this right now, other than I think it's complete and total bullshit that they replaced The Birth of a Nation with Intolerance. I agree that Intolerance is a silent masterpiece and it is indeed worthy of being on this list, but we all know why they replaced The Birth of a Nation with it. If Intolerance was D.W. Griffith's response to the critism of TBoaN, his attempt to make up for all of that, Then the AFI's replacement of TBoaN with Intolerance is they're attempt at being PC. If that wasn't their reason, then whey not replace TBoaN with Broken Blossoms instead? Not that I think TBoaN should have been removed from the list at all though. There's no good reason for that film to be removed from the list, none. There's only a handful of films that have really changed the film industry, really changed it, and TBoaN is the first of that small group.
