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

[Master Teacher]

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?

You just don't get it nevermind

 

[phillycavsfan]

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

The Color Purple received 9 Oscar noms
Do The Right Thing is one of AFI Top 100 films of all time.
Hoop Dreams was Siskel & Ebert's top movie of the 1990s.
Forest Whitaker and Jamie Foxx won Oscars for playing famous blacks of the past.

 

[Jazzy B.]

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

yet you were barking about "big productions" and calling slave films "epics", do you even know what an "epic" film is? because 12 years a slave and Amistad aren't "epics" you dumb fukk.

You're talking about "acclaim" yet you're denouncing dirty pretty things, Inside Man, Children of Men and American Gangster, all which are critically acclaimed films .

you really gonna bring Color Purple up breh
Ray was an entertainer Last King of Scotland breh are you fukkING SERIOUS when the fictive white man is the main character, and is lusted for
by the dumb African's wife

Ebert also shytted on the Goodbye Uncle Tom, which someone posted up
AFI shyt means nothing in the grand schemes

Malcom X is in the library of congress as part of American History but it still is not talked about as one of the great films

I was being sarcastic your simpleto

Did he got oscar nominations for any of those films, where any of this films talked about and broadcasted like Amistad or 12 years a slave
no
they were not bigger, those movies are bigger as far as being recognized

 

[Taadow]

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?

Thread should've ended here.

"you really gonna bring up Color Purple breh" isn't a defense. That's a black movie that got critical acclaim.

The American Film Institute is the largest film organization in the country that honors filmmaking history. The AFI 100 has classics like Citizen Kane, The Godfather, and Vertigo on it. It's a big deal.

@Master Teacher

these clowns will support anything

dont even waste ya time talkin to these nikkas about shyt like this

sometimes i question if half of these dudes are really black(the ones who claim they are)

 

[cleanface coney]

this the same website that was goin crazy over Django

i thought i was in the twilight zone readin some of that shyt

 

[Chesirecatdaddy]

No, you are incorrect.

Don't be confused with the idea that "mental" is somehow the only aspects that had lasting effects. The physical torture that slaves went though was great as well. If anything, it allowed for the mental torture that you highlight. If anything, this film and other "slave movies" don't do enough to show just how brutal the physical torture was. If you are Black, it is a shame that you shucked and jived and tap danced to what you were fed about the physical abuse "was nothing in comparison to....." blah blah blah. If anything, movies need to show just how brutal it was and this movie only tipped the iceberg.

While I will not question your education and/or comprehension as you have done....I will say that if you stand by what you wrote, it is proof that mental slavery served it's purpose unfortunately.

Also, if you care to listen, check out Derby's Doses...but then I guess that was not important.

LOL so nikkaz acting like torture does not break down people's psyches and allow them to be built back up to suit the torturers will?

shyt doesn't have to be on either side of the spectrum, slavery is older than the chattel slavery of the transatlantic slave trade. These techniques were well known. shyt is foolish to bash this movie because Brad pitt was in it, it's still made by a black man... yall really thinking this would've been greenlit without brad pitt?

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

You just don't get it nevermind

You're just not making any sense.

Yeah. apparently physical torture according to some inhis thread was not effective and a major part of the slave trade.

I don't know man.... it's tough to even continue the discussion when thoughts like that are in the thread...lol

Breh some people let their emotions of about the past and the treatment of black people to create a cognitive dissonance in their minds. You can't tell them shyt.

Of course cacs are gonna be involved... cacs run hollywood

without cacs who's gonna play the cac? A nikka?

most of the cacs in the movie are devilish... so one was a hero... so what?? In real life some cacs did help... I'm sure a lot of cacs didn't agree with slavery but what can you do against a socio-economic and political machine?? You can risk your life on the low to fight and change shyt... or most likely get killed for speaking out.. most cacs were not bout that.. had too much to lose. Slaves, who realized the were slaves, had nothing to lose however.. they already didn't have their families and homelands. They're always gonna involve a cac because cacs watch these movie too and make up the bulk of the audience. Let's be real now... movies are a business.

We have crowdfunding now so we have more freedom to do shyt. All yall gotta stop the bloodclot crying.

True and the thing about this film was that it was showing the pure evil of it all...which was real.

Had the film showed none of that... it would have been an outcry of not being "real" enough.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Don't see what's so great about the movie.

From a pure movie standpoint it wasn't entertaining at all, and as a black person there's nothing the movie could have taught me about slavery.

Waste of $8 if you ask me
