This movie is amazing. The Suppression of this movie is what whites have been doing for years, trying to kill educated blacks from teaching, learning, and passing on a legacy.
This movie is iconic. Nat Turner is a true hero, a national war hero. Like Nazi Germany, Nat Turner killed the wicked Nazis of America. We need streets named after Nat Turner, a true American hero!
Yeah! He sure was heroic killing all those children! What a hero! Oh wait.........
shareYoure the type of dude that watches a man get tortured for hours and says nothing, then criticizes the man for killing his oppressor.
Death is far less worst than what blacks had to endure for centuries. Give me liberty or give me death cause anything less is no way to live.
This movie has been suppressed because America is a racist country. We love to watch movies like 12 Years a Slave where blacks are helpless, but just as long as they are pleading for mercy. This movie was suppressed because no one was pleading for mercy. Shows what black people are truly capable of. This is the reason this movie wont win any awards.
Lets just keep black folk submissive and then they can have oscars.
What do you think of this review?

Very good read. Im not saying the movie was flawless, but to see a movie even touch this topic, and this hero in American lands is a landmark.
With only a 10 million dollar budget, this movie does what it needs to do and it inspires, inaccuracies and all. It inspires.
The movie definitively deserved more praise for its groundbreaking merits, and other merits of the film alone. The movie doesnt deserve what it received, which was a systemic attack to suppress it. Let the people judge whether they are moved by the film or not, fictional accounts and misrepresentations or not. But suppressing the truth is no different than a big brother telling us what we should and shouldnt be watching without our own determining. Thats my only issue.
Your quite right. The movie isn't perfect, and at times terrifiying, but the subject is handled with basic if not total accuracy.

If you're wondering why it hasn't done well in the box office, maybe it's because the market seems flooded at this point. BLM, Colin Kaepernick, riots/blocking interstates, cop killing, etc....

and the whole nation has it.

Fair points. They seem a bit naive, however. Who do you think sets "trends"? Unfortunately, what gets taught, supported, and promoted begins with "Hollywood" (and its political ties/agenda), not the other way around. You are absolutely correct that parents, teachers, and administrators need to be liable for such. Sadly, "Hollywood" has far more of an influence and reach on the gen pop, thus has a great social responsibility. I am sure you know and understand this; let's not devalue the OP's very important point.
Peace and wellness to all.
