Just got home from seeing this.
I think my wife is going to be entering depression from this film - she cried for like an hour, and is acting strange.

You should use this moment to discuss your feelings regarding the film. Use the emotions from this film to BUILD. Hopefully it opens people's eyes to the reality of the situation for black people in this country.

Movie was really good. It was just an honest movie. There were certain parts that were hard to watch, but excellent job!!

This movie is based upon a novel that is WELL over 3 decades old bruh

The most powerful movie, I have ever seen. Half the theater was in tears in some parts.

Epps is one sick motherfukka god damn. But his wife....she takes the cake. I don't know who's a bigger villain. I'll give the edge to her I guess.

Saw this last weekend, beautiful cinematography of the old South, brutal scenes, impressive acting and a great cast...They are completely different types of movies, but this captivated me much more then 'Django Unchained',and kind of gives credence to the critiques of that movie.....It's based on actual memoirs, so I can only assume most of this was true, but at several points I felt the movie had become repetitive, and was running in place for about 15-20 minutes, whether it was true or not....Ebbs acts like a maniac, Norton tries to to intervene, trusts the wrong person, etc, repeat, I felt it was repeating itself and it became gratuitous...The strongest scene to me, my eyes welled up a little, was when he was leaving and hugged Patsy...That was brutal, I thought he'd just grab her up, or refuse to leave without her.... It's a powerful and wrenching movie

Is this better than the butler?

so you can complain about how they dressed in tribal attire and how they were dancing around fires half naked worshiping a sun god and other pagan gods.

Id love it but since black people like to complain so much they probably dont want to try a touchy subject. Shaka Zulu was one of my favorite series, yet I wonder how many people even know its on netflix...ahem.

I haven't watched the Shaka Zulu series since I was 11. That was 13 years ago. That witch doctor traumatized me. I swear who ever did the makeup for that deserved all the accolades. It's scenes had me scared shytless.
