Birth of a nation., 20 January 2002
Author: dbdumonteil

Fairly entertaining adventure yarn,with too much resorting to voice-off. There are two very good moments:the storm -Van Johnson will have known two in the space of 2 years;he'll be on the Caine during the typhoon(the Caine mutiny 1954)- and the little boy who dies with the bird (Noah's dove)in his hand.He ,too,had flown too far from home.

Spencer Tracy has a tailor-made part:the grumpy captain with a heart of gold.Gene Tierney's grace and beauty supply the love interest.Her death is quite romantic.The film is somewhat too short and the building of the village and the first winter are botched.

An interesting scene shows the birth of a democracy and ideas that 1789 French revolution will rekindle.
