The problem is that there are large swaths of blacks that are simply uneducated and unable to really appreciate amazing films like Great debaters or Eve's Bayou. Sad but true. Comedy that appeals to the lowest common denominator (i.e. Madea or Big Momma's House), black folk will line up in droves. Education needs to be stressed in the community in order for our tastes to be elevated IMHO.

It aint about being uneducated fam. There is a a market for movies other than the regular toilet humor comedies we line up to see. The thing is a movie like Eve's Bayou doesn't get the same marketing push and wont get placement in hundreds of theaters like a Tyler Perry or if the new Friday movie comes out. They pump those movies down our throats. Like Steve Harvey's movie, that shyt was everywhere. They marketed it well. A film like Pariah wont get that promotion.

Yes but it is up to US to be educated to know about such movies so that we can alert OURSELVES about the importance of such films and why we need to see them. Are we serioulsy expecting the white media establishment to heavily promote films highlighting the strengths of black people and black culture?

Yes, we are expecting that. We think one day, maybe whitey will start liking us since we go along with all of their ridiculous movements. Go along to get along ass nikkas.

Was'nt Hugo Stiglitz a Nazi as well?

 

[jwinfield]

Yup.

Both Hugo and the actress were blonde haired blue eyed Germans that helped the Basterds.

Their plan doesn't work if the chick doesn't get them into the theater.

But since it doesn't go along with the "You didn't see Nazi's helping the Jews so why is a white man helping Jamie" narrative, it's been ignored.

Yea most people ARE sitting around with a thumb up their ass waiting on white folk to throw us a bone and tell our stories and portray us the way we want them to. Anybody with a third grade education can tell you they wont. I'm not the biggest fan of Tyler Perry but he's on the right track with owning his studio. All he needs next is to own the distribution. Bottom line is we gotta put in the legwork and do it ourselves.

I rather watch Django than any thing Tyler Perry puts out...

people hate to go back to those painful times and see their people like that.

But that shyt is true. Ignoring it isn't going to help. This movie is really for white people, we can't believe the horrors of slavery, and don't understand the magnitude.

I remember I had a white person ask me "why didn't the blacks just start killing the plantations owners, thats what I would've done."

Nobody has a clue about slavery. How you can take a child from it's parents, rise it to believe the white man is god through the bible, make you loyal as a dog no matter how your treated. shyt is pure evil.

White people don't want to think about that shyt, because it makes them feel guilty.

We only the people in the world, we were put through anything like that. All the rest of black people in the world can't understand us. We don't even understand ourselves, because we don't teach our history to kids, we don't control the economics in our neighborhoods, we hate each other, and I be damned to believe we were bred to hate ourselves.

But the fact is so what. I was never a slave, I never called another man master. I'm not afraid of white people I don't think their greater than me, so seeing this movie doesn't affect my psyche.

If your bothered by the images of this film, it should be because they are gruesome in nature, not because you have an inferiority complex when it comes to white people.

And like I said, until black people put money into the films, hire other talented black people to make movies, to tell our stories, then it will never happen.

I can write a script about Nat Turner, but who's gonna direct it? Who's gonna write a check to have it made?

Black people are an economic force, but we don't help our communities. Rich black folk don't build schools in the ghetto, they don't extend I hand to weak to help them up, and that's our problem

So instead of complaining about some movie somebody made? It's there movie, don't like it make your own.

@Master Teacher

this is why the Hidden Colors movies are so important regardless of their minor inaccuracies

We get to tell our own story on there, its very important

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

I see, but when the girl is trained to kill by Chinese guy, i.e. white girl saved by Chinese guy, you look past that?

IMHO some of you are getting way to sensitive about a B movie.

Bruh dont tell people how to feel/react.

If you want a better depiction of slavery and the harsh realities of the condition, check out Amistad or The Roots Miniseries.

don't tell me how to react to how people react, it's slightly hypocritical.

I haven't seen the movie, just read the script

its not a slave movie, it just takes place during the time.

Amistad is tame, and doesn't capture the true brutality of slavery
