I thought you were the guy I originally quoted so that comment wasn't for you. However I think it's important to not let this overshadow the movie. Which too many people are doing and in a movie review thread this should not be talked about. Create another thread and talk about this

I feel thats the point tho.
Also, the women in the movie were quite different from what happened in real life. Nat's mom tried to kill him before birth, for instance because she didnt want him to go through slavery.

To be fair though, the movie starts when Nat is like 12 years old. I do think it could have been more historically accurate to the original source material. I'm not sure why Nate felt the need to add/change so much. As a film though, it worked for me. I've never been a person who gets miffed about historical films that change stuff, which is kinda funny because when directors/writers change things based on fictional books, I get annoyed. I guess I just feel like if this gets people to read the source material for better accuracy, that's a win.

i was on the wall about seeing this cause i hate seeing my people beat down by cacs and turn the other cheek for 2 hours and although this is sort of different considering the brothers took up arms against evil i would have preferred more little known but much more epic slave rebellion stories such as Haitian Revolution, Seminole Wars and Zanj Revolt,etc adapted to film but being pro black and the fact I supported Django Unchained i feel almost obligated to give this a chance and plan to go to a showing in about an hour and maybe sneak into another movie just to make my money worth it

It's already being reviewed higher than The Girl in the Train so it might end up doing better but we can't forget Hurricane Matthew might keep some people insideI hope you guys don't expect this to be received well
Yo this was a damn good movie.
Anyone not liking this movie is full of shyt, No Lie.
The whole movie theater was
But there wasn't any reason for Gabrielle Union to be in the movie tho.
That could've gotten a less known actress to play that role.

Finally saw the movie. Very, very, very good movie, including in ways I didn't expect. I def recommend watching it.
Would give this a very strong 8.5 out of 10. Really considering giving it a 9 out 10.
Will give a more detailed review soon.

i thought he was younger in the opening scene? But the point is more that she was not just along for the ride of slavery, and accepting like the movie depicted.
i normally dont care about stuff like changes, and I dont much in this movie.
But using a fictional rape as the catalyst for his wanting to seek change wasnt a good look. Especially since he knows his past.
At times, it felt like a black man super hero movie.
I strongly disagree with you about this being better than 12 Years a Slave, but I dig actually having a real dialogue with you.
FYI, that didnt actually happen.Good movie... Left feeling like I want to do some revolutionary shyt.....No matter the odds.

Whoever talking about the female character are full of shyt.
His Grandmother, Mother, and Wife had plenty of lines.
These black feminist that are working for white feminist are probably mad they showed real bedwench.
