Lmao a spell check error? Still doesn't negate what I'm saying. We tear each other down and I'm sure the real Harriet Tubman had to deal with house nikkas or else she wouldn't have been successful.

Nah that character NEVER existed and he was created by a white producer on some bullshyt. How you adding a fictional character into an AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL movie :stopitslime:

TYRONE GA!
Saw it with my wife yesterday, it was a damn good movie that exceeded my expectations cause I’m always skeptical of remakes and musicals in general. Stayed true to the original plus I liked the additions.
Agreed.

90 million budget was kinda eye opening. That's really high for this type of movie, let alone a black one.

Watched last night. Beautiful movie. It being a musical has its faults in terms of storytelling but on the other hand, made it for it with a lot of these songs, choreography and photography.

Danielle Brooks fully deserved that nomination though I'm kinda surprised fantasia wasn't - though this year was admittedly crazy so a win is a win but fantasia blew my fukking mind in this. Had no idea this was the shyt she was up to or capable of it.

And Ciara at the end?

:blessed:

:beli: How do you know that?

The famous quote of her's has proven to be fake. :beli:


THE FACTS: An image of Tubman is circulating online with the quote about freeing slaves. Kate Clifford Larson, a historian and Harriet Tubman scholar, told The Associated Press that Tubman never said used that phrase.

The "Historian expert" on that Tubman film basically said she made it up. And that the idea that they're were independent black male slave catcher was also conjecture that she couldn't prove actually happened.

She was arguing with ppl on Twitter about it, around the time the film came out.
