I'm seeing a lot of criticisms for this movie on what was portrayed and what could have been and I can only say that they wouldn't make it in this society. This is not our society as a ruling class.
Killing children, white women, that's a no fly zone. Especially when you have black directors telling him this can't get made without a white savior or not supporting the film's budget because of content.
I never wanted this movie to end so I could see it being a 5 hour movie deconstructing the psyche of white people, a redemption act with some of the snitches, etc. But that's why we have books.
We didn't get Malcolm's whole story in the Spike Lee film nor Jackie Robinson in 42. Its a platform to continue the research.
I'm surprised they even had the blurb of what they did to Nat at the end of the movie. Did we want to see him skinned for a lampshade?
There's a lot to breakdown from that era if done properly, but that would require a massive budget and a director willing to put the story over their perception in Hollywood.
