12 Years a Slave Sweeps NY Film critics circle awards. Mcqueen gets heckled by furious NY cacs/c00ns

[VladTheImpaler]

You are all wrong and right at the same time. What is clear is that the name calling and insults have derailed this entire thread. Too bad. It started very well.

No, the movies where you KNOW of him being in were slave movies. He's also been in great movies like American Gangster, Dirty Pretty Things, Children of Men, Inside Man, and Talk to Me. He's been in 30 flicks, and the only ones you know of were slave movies, one of which he didn't even play a fuckin' slave.

Maybe Mcqueen wanted to make this movie because he wanted to tell the story of Solomon Northup. It's an inspiring story that people should know about.

This is what pisses me off about you dumb ass nikkaz, then you got the nerve to say I'm a troll
you put words in my mouth instead of just listening to what I'm saying

I said the BIGGEST MOVIES, I know all the movies he's been in
but the most elaborate productions the man has starred in have been SLAVE EPICS, DO YOU NOT SEE THIS

The biggest productions associated with black actors are fukking SLAVE FILMS, do you not see what I'm getting at

Did you just ignore my post about how the first black actress to win an oscar played a fukking maid in 1939, and that's still the case in 2014
you do not see this shyt

All I'm trying to tell you simple simon has nikkaz is the white man is PISSING on your back and TELLING you it's RAIN

Untold truths, let blacks being native to this land in the first damn place, and having it stolen

I don't get why people act like there's a ton of movies on slavery....there's not.

The movie was well executed and portrayed a real era in this country, that it seemed Hollywood had been content to ignore. Before Django, I believe Amistad is the only movie that really showed it in my lifetime. How many holocaust movies did we have?

And this movie touched on an issue that I don't think was really well known by most Americans: the kidnapping of freeman.

I swear, some folks have a persistent inferiority complex which makes them find slight in everything. This movie showed white folks as straight devils (including their proper ladies) and folks are still complaining

You're missing the point, they can make twenty more the movies,

the white man will always view you as a slave, a black woman has an exotic sexual object, I see the shyt everyday in modern life
they slick, you have to know the ways of the devil they don't even realizing they doing it is THEIR NATURE

they're not making these movies to feel some kind of guilt

I know the white man is wicked because I've seen it for my own goddamn eyes, also the psychological tactics they use as well

 

[Master Teacher]

EXACTLY my point

Was 2012 up for Oscars?

I'm not talking about BUDGET thats how stupid you are, you can't even have a conversation about this, because you don't understand the matters at hand
I'm talking about ACCLAIM AND RECOGNITION
nobody said 2012 was great

What does any of that have to do with the movie? The "white man will always view me as a slave" with or without this movie, so what does that have to do with whether they make this movie or not?

I don't give a shyt about white guilt, I care about entertainment value of the movie. It was well written, well shot, and well acted and told a really good story involving a subject that's not often touched up in American entertainment and I appreciated it.

It's not about guilt, you think white people feel guilty, they enslaving nikkaz everyday in the goddamn court room
with trumped up charges

all I'm saying how come in order for blacks to get recognized or awarded in film it always has to be do with slavery
if you do not see this, I don't know what to tell you

Yeah that's not slavery.

Not that I give a shyt about these awards, but black folks are not only recognized films about slavery.

Now, your on a soap box about the court system? Yea that's fukked up, but what does that have to do with this movie?
