No. There is no worse message than Griffith's The Birth of a Nation or Riefenstahl's The Triumph of Will, but they are great films. You assume that there is a neat form/content distinction to be made, but this applies least of all in works of art, where form is to a great extent content.

CB: No they are not. They are horrible films. I don't assume any neat distinction. I just say that the promotion of KKKism destroys the "greatness" of the movie. A piece of shit wrapped in a pretty ribbon is not "great" at all.
