Didnt he get the #metoo treatment?

He got the #MeToo treatment before that was even a hashtag. Those bedwench black women sold him down the river and ruined any chance of financial prosperity.

Yeah I remember that. He literally gave us the Nat Turner story cinematically, and they tried to convince the public not to fukk with it...damn.

It's really a shame. The film should have been praised. It would have been a nice counter to that slavery was a choice narrative.
The film was praised. It won big at Sundance where it premiered and critics were largely positive about it too. It's the old rape case being dug up and sprawled all over the media that did the movie in.

Nobody said shyt for all his other movies, even had Obama praising Red Tails when it dropped, but when he drops something about Nat Turner all of a sudden its time to dig into his past. i wasnt there so who knows for sure but the whole controversy with him always looked funny to me, a little too convenient.

:childplease:fukk that :trash: ass movie. nikka butchered the hell outta the original story by omitting an alternating certain events that could have been monumental to black viewers. I can't forgive him for that shyt.

He had one of the most epic rebellion stories in World history and fukked it up royally. nikka glossed over that shyt in 10 minutes, but made sure to stretch out every humiliating torturous act done on the black people in the movie. :what:The violence towards cacs was minimum considering the film is about a slave revolt. Nothing about that film was empowering at all.

I'm actually glad that movie never got mainstream success or was watched on a large scale by black folks because it wasn't made for us. We weren't supposed to see that weak ass shyt. It was for the cacs that originally praised it at all them festivals.

Yeah Nate Parker got done wrong no doubt, but everything happens for a reason. :manny:

Agreed on every point. I don’t know what movie some people are talking about, but it definitely wasn’t the same one I saw. There was absolutely nothing groundbreaking or powerful about it.
