Keke Palmer stars in ‘Alice,’ an enslaved woman in the 1800s who discovers it’s actually the 1970s

[I Really Mean It]

Our horrific history continues to be commodified on screen, yet not a single check has been cut.

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

"A woman (Palmer) is enslaved on a 19th-century plantation in Georgia. Attempting to escape, she realizes it’s actually 1973, and meets a truck driver (Common) who helps her adjust to the time period. She persuades him to go back with her to her own time so that she can exact revenge on her cruel former owner (Miller)."

Basically time travel but they didn't wanna actually do that so they did this.

Better be Django levels of Whites getting clapped or it's some bullshyt.

Say what you want about him, but this has Quentin Tarantino written all over it.

Django meets Kill Bill

I must be one of the few that appreciate slave movies so I’m looking forward to it.

I came in to say we don't need another slave movie but if this is based on a true story then I'm all for it.

We also need movies showcasing our history rather than trying to censor it like it never happened.

Black People in the US Were Enslaved Well into the 1960s

damn.

So basically sharecropping ...shyt I could have told you AA were still share cropping into the 60's
Hell my family were still share cropping around then up in Arkansas. It wasn't as crazy as events in that article though....
At a past family reunion we all went to the land they sharecropped on and everything.
Eventually my grand parents moved to Birmingham around the tail end of the civil rights movement.

That's how they would get sharecroppers, they would charge you at the start of the season for various necessities you were suppose to payback via work.
But you would "magically" never make enough to break even ...I.E. constantly under debt(Peonage)





SIDENOTE:
It annoys me how folks try to turn everything into a slavery analogy. shyt is lazy as fukk.

Im kind of torn, i like revenge movies, tired of slave movies, the story looks interesting, the acting looks pretty bad, plus Common is in it
