North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
I know they are based on true stories but that makes it worse. Can't take no more of these movies about black people that rather live and be treated like cattle than die fighting for respect. :snoop:

Django at least inspired fighting for whats right or just fighting back in general. When somebody gonna have the balls to make a movie about Nat Turner??????

Someone has the script for a nat turner film but supposedly the market isn't there.

The servant movies don't appeal to me at all. They are a feel good pat on the back for white folk helping the poor negro get free. I lost respect for everyone involved.

Like I said before make a movie about Jack Johnson, Marcus Garvey etc n see how the attendance numbers dwindle.

The movie was equally about his first born son and how their paths to freedom were different ...his son taught him how to be a better black man. It's a film about change, and willingness to accept it or seek it.

producers are not touching that one. Only a handful of black people will see it and you know they complain about it still.

I kept saying this when I was trying to defend the film. But the Coli seems convinced that this was a purely "yessa boss" movie :yeshrug:
