This movie and Braveheart are quite alike


Both are wildly historically inaccurate.

So, people who are saying this is a "black Braveheart" are telling the truth.

reply

And why is this movie significant enough to mention in that regard, compared to the inaccuracy in virtually every single historical, western and biographical movie ever created? Of which, there are literally tens of thousands.

The two are being compared on this board quite a bit. Specifically, the term "black Braveheart" has been used. Its in so many threads that I started a post.

Here's a post about it specifically: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4196450/board/thread/262298619. Here's one where people are a lot more realistic about Braveheart: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4196450/board/thread/262139535. Other than that, its all over the place.

After seeing it enough and seeing Braveheart held up as a paragon of filmmaking virtue by most, I finally broke down and made an account to post that.

My point remains. Responding to talk of the historical inaccuracy of this film (Yes, even after it's been compared to "Braveheart" on this very board, seemingly endlessly.) is disingenuous of you...at best. Because, again, if it was important enough to cause you to make a special effort to "set the record straight", regarding all this chatter about the inaccuracy of this movie...without also causing you to feel a similar urge to set the record straight, and remind folks that historical accuracy has virtually never been a reliable aspect of ANY historical Hollywood movie, since it's very inception. (Literally, thousands upon thousands of times before this movie.) Then it tends to unintentionally imply that you (and likewise, dozens upon dozens of others before you on this board) have some sort of unconscious personal grudge against this one, "uniquely" whitewashed, movie. "That has to be addressed, above and beyond all others."

Or...were you planning on visiting the boards of "Braveheart" and a few thousand other historical movies too? (Now that you've signed up for your new account.) LOL

Well, since you care so much about this, better get busy in those threads.

Have fun. :)

[G-rated version]

The most fun is when people randomly come to so-called "black" boards like this. And are then completely and utterly stunned to suddenly be confronted with the comically Earth-shattering realization that for the very first time in their entire lives they're now going to actually be "forced" to start thinking about how the thoughts and feelings of people that are "nothing like them" are going to be regularly "invading" their very, very long-held thought patterns and mostly segregated lives.

Priceless.

Littlegeorgie should stop giving out knowledge for free

He's dropping gems that he should be paid for

His presence on this board among others, frightens you and you clearly dont know how to accept and unapologetic educated confident black man that is capable of standing on his SQUARE and his fearless ability to move around the board EXPOSING the ignorance of you people.

You hate his fortitude so much that you have relegated yourself to making up stories about the brotha reporting people to mods....lol.....thats the best you got??????

Snitching and telling on people is indicative of your peoples culture, not ours. Aint nobody running to mods because YOU and your people keep losing arguments and debates to the handful of people that can hold their own and actually take time to expose your ignorance.


Truth hurts doesn't it?

reply

Actually, as of this post, now I am. Because this post says her interest is now clearly about "spreading the word" (assumedly amongst fellow stormfronters). And THAT has almost nothing to do with talking or debating at all. That's good, old fashioned, undisguised, racially motivated, hate-crime-justifying, stalking. By someone who has now made it clear that she is mentally ill and hungry to spread her illness to others.

And THAT I will VERY intentionally try to stop!!!

Liar.

This has nothing to do with StormFront or any other organized "group", it has everything to do with your ignorance and your inability to let anyone see you lose an argument every with every post you make.

That is what I am alluding to....every post that anyone corrects you, you call "racism" and have it flagged. EVERY ONE.

Which is perfectly aligned with the way your "movement" operates. Soon to be coming to an end in this country.

You are a coward. Nothing more, and nothing less.

And this movie TANKED

Out of the hundreds of millions of postings on social media and the rest of the entire internet every single day, about every subject imaginable, that's quite the little obsession with one single poster, on one single site, that it sounds like you've got yourself there. In fact, it almost sounds like, because of your strange fixation with winning some imagined "argument" with this one single person, you're apparently not exactly a very "happy senior" at all. LOL

So...

What happens, if it in fact turns out, that this apparent "consumed with winning" person you're focused on, instead has never had absolutely any intention of ever engaging in an "argument" with someone that he simply sees as totally consumed with race hatred as you in the first place? Because clearly from the sheer volume here, you have long-since lost even the most basic ability to rationally see that your daily stormfront-like rants could even remotely contain anything that should get them flagged by the moderators (based on any kind of hate-filled content). Not to mention that the general content of a board like this particular one is a rather enormous distance off the beaten path of most "normal", white, middle-aged, "happy" females, in a still segregated America in the first place. Which tends to make you pretty much a weirdo at best, and a middle-aged, foaming-at-the-mouth, Nazi groupie at worst.

In either case, you're barking up the wrong tree with me. Because I don't "argue" with nutcases period. And trying endlessly to provoke me to do so will only result in you wasting an enormous amount more of your time here.

So, in the clearest possible terms.

I think you are a sick, twisted, completely "unselfaware", closeted Nazi (no, I intentionally didn't say "neo-Nazi"). And engaging you, when you've long-since made it quite hideously clear how you feel about the subject of race, is of absolutely no interest to me whatsoever. Because NOTHING will EVER change even one single ounce of the garbage that you need to believe about race.

Now, do I expect all those words will suddenly stop someone twisted up like you from still trying "again and again" to get me to "argue" with you anyway? Not a bit!

But as of now, even more people can better understand the bizarre twistedness of this whole "game", and join in the perverted fun of watching to see how much more someone like you will mindlessly keep trying to no avail to "argue" with someone who thinks you're completely off already.

The End.

there are moderators who read the posts that are flagged. if your post is flagworthy, it'll get pulled. that will happen regardless of who flags you.

you also once accused me of flagging a post of yours.

i think you're just paranoid around smart black people.

think of a sentence to place in front of your period and then you can join the overtly pompous club too.

until then, you'll remain covertly pompous.

So, Hinton, you're claiming a "cultural" committment to non-cooperation with duly appointed authorities? Nice.

Yeppers. Nate Parker robbed Braveheart's plot beats to such a degree that Nate might as well have walked up to the man who wrote it, sucker punched him out of nowhere, and ran off with his briefcase. Unfortunately for Nate, his film wasn't as good because it missed some important people connections before Nat turned himself in, because this was like Braveheart except without the Scottish King carrying on his life's work for him, instead, we got to stare into the faces of a whole bunch of other Africans who would be the next generation of slaves. Bummer of an ending.

So, people who are saying this is a "black Braveheart" are telling the truth.
