I wonderif they'll get sued for the title. Anyway, he's too dark to play the role of Nat Turner.

how dark was nat turner

He was described on his wanted poster as Light Skinned but not mulatto. Some have implied that he was the son of his master, but that's probably not the case. Either way, he was light.

Goyer is the same dude who worked on the batman/superman movies the last 10 years

Idk bruh...

I'm still gonna watch but we might be disappointed.

^^^this

i was very disappointed in the redtails movie. they had to throw in the unnecessary and unfounded lust for white women and the movie had the feel of a sunday night disney special instead of a true historical event

There is Jewish money behind the project. So expect some type perversion of the facts or a diluted story.

I already have my reservations
 
Hopefully they can put the entire Haitian Revolution from Bois Caiman to the Battle of Vertieres on film. Alot of white folk will be in their feelings for this Nat Turner movie. The white tears will be glorious.

Telling the truth always makes white folks emotional.

Calling it The Birth of a Nation is a powerful move.

IMO, that title indicates this could back fire on us. The original movie painted white people (KKK) as heroes saving the population from ravaging black men. Perspective is crucial here. But Nats story could easily be manipulated into a remake of the same racist propaganda the original had. Fact is, the historical event trails a thin line of not being just that. Just depends on who's controlling the narrative.

I fear we're all going to be very disappointed by this. I doubt this movie will be the big fuck you to slavery and racism we want it to be.

No harm in hope, though.

The end of Goodbye Uncle Tom touched on the story. If it's anything like that, white people are not gonna be happy lol

All the old niggas laughed at this. This must have been some old school coonery.
 
Because these type of flicks are big money now.

Selma, 12 Years of Slave; its like going to a wine and cheese party talking about the exquisite cheese you had, just for show.

The intention is not to inform or raise awareness or teach. Tell these people to pick up their history books and read. The bottom line is making money off people who think these movies are haymakers against racism and its not.

Where are the black films that are good stories? Normal tales of normal people? I'm so tired of black films only consisting of gang violence, drug trade, racism, the troubled black family united finally through the power of fried chicken and slavery. Stereotypes after stereotypes. You know what would be gangsta? A Shaka Zulu movie reboot; black warrior tales, black super hero flicks...

Black people happy about this slow drip stereotypical crap. This movie isn't doing what people think its doing and they're making money off that ignorant thought process.

.

I agree with this. Even though I will still watch the movie, the more I think about current events, it seems like perfect timing for this movie. They are trying to start a race war. And this is just another log on the fire.

I'll take this over a Madea movie any day though.

A Nat Turner movie should be significantly different from your run of the mill slave movie...

SHOULD be....

If done right, it could be a great movie...

But we found out who is funding it. So what Chemix said might be an problem....
