The Birth of a Nation (Official Thread)

Yes, I'm white. But ignoring your simpleton race baiting shyt, Nat Turner did murder children. No matter how just the cause he was fighting for, that's something I never want to see glorified.

They used black children as alligator bait. He was only returning the favor.

He is european, im sure he will have many problems with that rabble rouser who made life difficult for his fathers fathers

* @TheGodling watches generation after generation be raped, tortured, mutilated, etc for 2 hours, leaves like "why couldnt he just turn the other cheek "*

Nat Turner was the truth, but got dimed out by fellow blacks. A movie about John Horse would have more impact.

Well, that's what their white masters taught them their white lord and savior Jesus Christ would do, no?

But in all seriousness, and for the last time, Turner is a complex figure in history, because although he most certainly fought for the right cause, it doesn't mean he necessarily did only right things. Which frankly, is the general case for most rebellions fought, and I wouldn't want any of them being marginalized like that either.

can't wait for this...hopefully it starts of trend of a new type of slave themed feature length films in which our marytrs/freedom fighters are the protagonist...personally would love to see an John Horse/Black Seminole, Toussaint Louverturel/Haitian Revolution and Queen Nzinga action/bio films.

the Haitian/African man who founded Chicago, Jean Baptiste Point, would make a great movie

Looks like Nate has a winner here. According to this person at Sundance, it got a good reception and he might get a distributor.
Parker is a real one. Proud of this brotha.
