One thing that would be interesting to see would be a riff on Intolerance directed by TTL D.W. Griffith, though this time around it's about principled rebellions against unjust authority. Cut between parallel storylines of David against King Saul, William 'I have always honored the King of Spain' I of Orange and the rebellion of the Netherlands, George Washington and the War for Independence, and Robert E. Lee and the Second War for Independence. Opening act establishes the protagonists' loyalty, second act is them struggling to reconcile their honor with the abuses of the authorities, ending with them making their fateful decision to take up arms, and in the third act triumphing with strong notes of divine favor. It would be a massive film, probably like four hours long, but quite a directorial accomplishment if it worked.
