Looks amazing. But, and this might come off in a way that's not intended at all, what's with all of the slavery movies and content of late? There's just been a lot these past three years it seems than there were in the past.

12 Years A Slave
Roots
Birth Of A Nation
Underground
The Butler (to a degree)

Is there a specific political thing going on right now that this content is commentating on or is it that you can make slavery content more often today than in the past? I 'like' the content (although they're all extremely hard to watch), but it does stand out that there's been a lot these past few years in comparison.

 

[StormC]

There's been a pretty strong paradigm shift in the last few years about how we discuss and acknowledge race in America so that probably has a lot to do with it.

 

[Lencho01]

Man, this looks good.

 

[Octoberist]

It's funny how Birth of a Nation is not even out yet, and yet, it has 'three stars' given out by trolls on imdb.

 

[Fallen Angel]

It was shown at the Sundance film festival early on in the year.

 

[Octoberist]

I'm pretty sure that the 3 stars are just from trolls.

Django Unchained was a hit. 12 years a slave won Oscars. Hollywood always jumps on something that seems trendy. Add to that that Hollywood is always more comfortable portraying blacks in a certain light.

*thinks about the inevitable Fox News/GOP screaming at the top of their lungs about this*
*actually hangs self*

 

[Dr. Evil]

Selma didn't get much Oscar love and I think it's a perfect bookend to Birth of a Nation.

 

[Lencho01]

I didn't think they would top their US flag poster, but then they released this.

Surprised Im a few days late on this but I just read about it.

It's very weird and convenient that this is coming out now. Also considering that he was acquitted of all charges. I dont know about the case so I dont know if it's one of the "Damn I can't believe so and so got off" things

 

[Jay Beezy]

It's almost like the accusations against Bryan Singer before X-Men: Days of Future Past came out.

Only problem is Nate Parker opens his mouth a little too much and doesn't make himself look good.

 

[Lencho01]

I'm just now learning about this.

We as brothers are prone to do that.

Nah

 

[terry78]

The loud ones do.

 

[Jay Beezy]

Well, things aren't going to get better.

Oh, boy.

 

[Serpico Jones]

Nate Parker's career is over.

 

[SuperT]

Wow. Damn.
