Nate Parker’s follow-up to “Birth of a Nation”: “American Skin”

[semicko82]

Yup. Nate Parker got blackballed but Casey Affleck won a Golden Globe the same year while he also had a sexual assault case.

The fukked up part was breh was found not guilty and still was black balled

Predictable plot. If Birth of a Nation wasn't as bad as it was, I'd probably give it a shot.

I didn't think it was a bad movie, but it needed an experienced director to handle the project. You most definitely can tell it was a first time director behind the camera

Maybe I was a bit harsh. The cinematography was amateur level and it threw off the entire film for me.

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

You know I brought birth of a nation on blu ray to support and I've never got around to watching it

DO IT

Movie was so slept on it wasn't even funny. Sure it held back from the true story, but it was still a ruthless take on a rebellion that will never get its due because ""

Yeah this too

It's like this. The main problem with the flick was the fact that it was visual walking on eggshells and the pacing of the flick was weird as all hell. It went from putting the main focus on Nat humble beginnings as a pastor for the slaves, yet it felt like a luckily split second for his rebellion. Honestly, the movie should have been darker than it really was. The dude actually was told from God to kill the slaves. They could had took a more Spike Lee approach with the overall tone to the flick, rather than holding so much back on potential

It's still worth a watch despite it's flaws

Probably worth seeing it for myself too judge

I'll never forget the difference in tone from the media regarding Birth of a Nation before the old case came up and after and even these contrasting takes on his new film are transparent based on the reviewers

Only 7 reviews and Im willing to bet they trashed it because the lead actor

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

I know better than to believe these reviews. The fact they’d trash it in this climate shows it’s all about their hate for Nate Parker more than anything else.

Also, anything with a black man standing up for himself is rarely loved by critics. They love us when we’re the bad guy or when we’re getting beat on.

When Nate is looking outside the window, very Malcolm X

Definitely going to see this. This has been one of the revenge fantasies that I have played in head too many times after a police shooting.

 

[BXKingPin82]

[OGBIGBOY187]
