Nat Turner Biopic ‘The Birth Of A Nation’ (Friday 7 October 2016)

Surprised they put a trailer out, but glad they did. This needs to get the same exposure as those white saviour slave movies where blacks are weak and subservient. We need more movies where we're represented as strong and able to handle things ourselves. That's why we need more black casted Egyptian and African based movies.

which slave movies are there where black people are subservient and weak ?

and there are alot of African based movies , you guys just don't support them.

moreover why are african americans obsessed with Eygpt when you are descendants from West African and Bantu Tribes ?

Ahhh on the fence about this. I wanna see it but it's being distributed by Fox. Fuckin Aye man.

But I will say that this brotha caught unnecessary (and oddly great timing) flack for that rape shit during the promotional run for this film. The media knew what they were doing digging that story up. That alone warrants my support since if this shit wasn't trill they wouldn't have tried throwing him under the bus.

Which slave movies can you name where slaves actually fight back without the help of a white savior? Usually they just run they asses off and hope to not get caught.

And to your point about Egypt, I'm speaking in terms of people of color period. And these African movies you speak of get no shine, which was also my point.

I hope people support. Me & my girl saw it and it was completely empty but 1 tatted up white guy. We thought he was there to shoot up the theater.

He started ballin during the scene where Blood On The Leaves was playin. So i felt kinda bad for at 1st mistaking him for a maybe-murderer.

Movie was great. Starts of a lil slow but half way till the end is great. My girl cried like 5 different times.

I give it 4 outa 5

Only reason i wont give it 5 is because i dont see myself giving it multiple viewings but it was done great.

Spoiler

Maybe because the stories are all factual and an ally is not a "white saviour" especially if its an accurate account.

whether you like it or not

Cinque and the Amistad captives fought and were their own heroes , what happened after is recorded fact.

Solomon Northrup and Patsy fought and they were heroes , recorded fact

The 54th in Glory fought and was recorded fact.

Kinta Kinte , Kizzy to Chicken George all fought.

and if all you get from those stories is a white saviour narrative then you truly miss the larger point especially the fact that you focus on those white characters than the main Black Protagonists.

all well true potrayed and recorded fact by their own and collaborated accout , whether you like it or not , a different narrative wont change the fact.

I really do not get how you can claim anyone who endured slavery was weak , that is the utmost disrespect of the legacy of your own people.

They get no shine because you guys do no support black cinema. 'Queen of Katwe' came out literally last week was advertised alot and did not do numbers , why? coz yall aint support , same as when "Fences" will come out. Shit Magnificent 7 with a "Black Saviour" and all the minorities surviving , barely is at £60 million right now , so please dont sell false narratives.We are also part of the problem.

 

[TheGOAT]

Queen of Katwe look boring as hell.

I would rather watch Madea Halloween

 

[D. Morgan]

[ChillaDaKilla]

[MrCrookedLetter]

[Mister B.]

Shit was cool. The symbolism seem to be over the top, but I got no beef with it.

Spoiler

Rounds of applause for preaching, rounds of applause when crackas heads fell off, all that shit.
