Hollywood didn't make this film. Why do people keep saying that? Nate Parker crowd funded the film because no one in Hollywood would support it. After it received critical acclaim at Sundance Fox picked it up for distribution
yes..because thats what exactly happened..Nate Parker fund this film with his own money ($100,000) at first..then went around on his own getting funding from all over
Cali Finesse I said "vetting" not "funding". Plenty of "independent" movies die in obscurity. This movie fits the mold for what they want in the theatres, plain and simple. If I was bored I'd look up the list of who is from "all over", but I think I'll find many of the usual suspects on that list. But thank you for your input, I will keep that in mind and share it if the situation warrants it.
l337pwnage You're naive. It was his success at Sundance that got Fox and Netflix to jump onboard. He went with a less lucrative deal with 20th Century Fox because it give him greater reach to the masses. They had no choice but to jump onboard because of the response from the people. The movie business is a Business and business needs to make money. The vetting you speak of IS the Sundance film festival. Here the industry became clear of the films earning potential and bid to buy in.
phix They do have to make money overall, this is true, but they have many choices when it comes to which movies they promote and which ones they sabotage. They make their choices on a combination of things, this would be an easy choice for them as it fits right in with the rest of their current propaganda. Especially recent movies like "We Wuz Chezz Kangs" and the upcoming "We Wuz Rokit Sinetists". They make bad choices all the time, tho. They only lukewarmly supported "Deadpool" and it turned out to be a blockbuster. Nobody expected that to be so popular. And on the opposite scale, they tried their SJW "Ghostbusters" and that failed hard because they pushed too hard with their agenda. People are really getting fed up with the movie industry bias, but I guess we'll see if anybody watches this one.
REEF70 people like him isn't even worth our time any more. *****you should stop trying to be a cyber bully. If you don't like the movie then click off. Commenting on someone's is childish and lame. Trolling went out of style 9 years ago.
When we abolish this false belief systems or laws that's been imposed and indoctrinated in our mindset by the establishment, then we will be free again. A person who is free don't follow the laws of other men because the natural person is the law or the authority, as long as they don't impose their will upon others.
The natives tribes ate almost extinct in America but hey. Let’s keep talking about something that happened decadesa ago while there’s black millionaires now a days. Makes sense
I like that this was a different type of slave movie. It showed that we weren't just passive victims the whole time. There where plenty of revolts and uprisings.
its not different it isnt even factual Nate was no heroe how can a man of god committ heinous murders on innocent babies ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME he snuck around in the dark and randomly murdered innocent children ,he suffered the affects of syphilis and became a insane killer even killed other blacks but you wont read about that I learnt it in our university here in west africa
+Hungo I hope you feel the same about your wicked ancestors, who you call American Heros who also called themselves Christians, so please shut up you sound stupid and your privilege is showing!
Christopher Duffy I liked that about the movie too. All these black people were used and abused, but at the end of the day, they remained a family and silently fought their way through life. Nat made their frustrations known, albeit violently. He showed how much these people hurt.
"I pray my people would sing to Him a new song." About time a move is made about a real african american man and hero who stood up against wicked people and was not afraid.
I am white and i greatly sympathize with all those oppressed people and were i born back then i would gladly revolt alongside them. But i don't really get it, You do know that the white people had slaves because the Bible never said that there was anything wrong with it? The "Black" pastor in the trailer even quoted the verse. Old and new testament... I'm not judging here but i cant understand how you can then pray to something(a god) that allowed slavery to even exist... I just don't get it... but yes I agree. A movie like this is a long time due.
+Victor Bruwer What people don't seem to understand is that when Jesus came in the New Testament, he abolished a lot of what the old testament stood for - not all, but a lot. I'm not religious, but I researched it quite a bit.
They accussed Him of changing things but Jesus really just did things the way they were meant to be from the beginning. We changed and implemented things to fit our limited ideas. He has perfect understanding.
I don't really care for a religious debate. In fact, it annoys me. Jesus said in Matthew 5:17-18 17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. I (sarcastically) wonder what "Law" He was talking about. Certainly it cant mean only the parts that you don't like??? If i misinterpret these passages then by all means... enlighten me
Hollywood and the media is trying to down play this movie. I was wondering why this movie is being so hidden when there are thousands of slave/civil rights movies. Now I know when seeing this trailer. it's because in this movie the slaves are not weak and they are organized. Also they are fighting back . I really think that's what it is
Right im like wait why wasnt this movie glorified its 2019 about to b 2020 never heard of this movie but the fucking stipper movie hustlers was all over cuz of cardi b... im Watching this tonite!
to respond to this I'll simply say that 1. Nate Parker was acquitted and if you look into the case report for the details you will understand why and 2. the movie is way bigger than Nate Parker. it's a big movie for black people period. so not supporting it for an (incorrect) opinion of him doesn't really do much good..... I'll go a step further say you could hate him and still support the cause and what it stands for
Nat Turner was a slave who was a preacher and educator. he lead a slave revolution where he and the rebellion killed anybody who got in their way.... but to label him a terrorist is very inflammatory and just flat out incorrect. he was a man who led a group of oppressed people who used violent force (which is more than fair). I don't care who you are, if you were unjustly made a slave whatever you do to free yourself is justified
i want a movie to depict where we came from what our life was before the wicked esau came on the seen,OUR HISTORY did not begin when our ancestors walked up on those gangplanks,i have read that serious wars were fought trying to get our people on slave ships
How odd it is to read a black comment section. Almost everyone has poor spelling, poor syntax, elementary school knowledge, no logic. And the conspiracy theories are hilarious. They show that blacks still haven't transitioned from magical thinking to scientific thinking.
They are opposing this film saying Nat Turner killed women and children. Yes he did! And the lineage of black woman and children killed before and after this revolt by white supremacist slave owners is astronomical in comparison. #missuswiththat This was a means to an end. I fully support this movie, just as I support holocaust movies, 11 were made last year. Don't fall victim to the slave mentality.
So if you know he killed white women and children then why would he approve of Parker having a white wife and playing him on camera? I doubt Nat would let that shit slide just because some swirling black man is telling his "hidden" and still disclosed story. But since black people thumb up the film all logic and critical thinking goes out the window and they wonder why they can't get up with boycotting and all the other stupid ideas they have, because they love emotional, sensationalism, lies, and entertainment. Period.
so what, the white supremacist killed? this guy in a white supremacist in black skin.. no difference, you act like slaves were human but lead a rebellion killing woman and children?
Malcolm X didn't murder anybody. He talked about defending yourself by any means necessary...and nat Turner killedevil people who put him and his people through hell
Ignore what the suspected white supremacist thinks Nate Parker was proven innocent. But on the other hand you should definitely go see this movie its great
If somebody yells "THIEF!", I don't even flinch; you know why?..because I'm not a thief, so you can't possibly be talking to me. But, when somebody even mentions racism, many white people immediately become defensive & start mentioning Irish slavery, European tribal disputes, etc.. Why become so defensive if YOU don't engage in racist/prejudiced behavior? How many white people do you know that were hung from trees as recently as the 1960s, just for being white? There are black people alive today that still remember their parents/grandparents being racially abused, physically assaulted, & even murdered/executed, just for being black (these things are STILL happening to a lesser degree today). Stop spreading lies about blacks selling blacks to Europeans. If this lie was true, please tell me; what magical currency did Europeans use to pay The Africans with, for their own people?? What use would that currency be to a so-called "primitive" tribes-person? Africa is the most mineral/resource rich landmass on Earth; what resource could Europeans bribe them with in the 1600s, that they didn't already possess?? The truth is, Europeans lied & kidnapped these people by force (hence the need for muskets/guns, nets & iron shackles). These people were not taken willingly, hence the weapons, violence & the term 'kidnap'. Even if you sold me a dog in prime health, & I beat it, tortured it, worked it to death & then set it on fire. Then imagine, years later, I had the audacity to blame YOU for selling it to me! These people are hurting for a reason that many Europeans want to ignore or forget, even though many of these people still feel the effects of this treatment today.......
My understanding they traded weapons, and whatever else for the slaves. Africa had a long history of internal slavery don't pretend the white man introduced the practice to the noble africans. Slavery had existed EVERYWHERE in the past. Yep whites, blacks, asians, etc... that purchased and sold slaves are bad.
SoGladUCame stop with the IGNORANT fallacies & bullshit...no black sold other blacks WITH FREE WILL... It was Only because whites used the fact that they had access to guns 1st to COWARDLY rob+rape+plunder unarmed ppl so it was either some blacks helped find & capture other blacks or they were kidnapped themselves & sold. What would u do if a coward has the only gun around & used that fact to threaten ur family unless u helped him. P.s.: Don't forget this was the 1st time anybody on the continent ever knew a gun existed due to Africa being surrounded by major oceans on 3 sides & the scorching Sahara up north. So making it hard to mix & mingle with the latest technologies.
justins nunya OMG, the history rewrite is strong in you. Africans took slaves from rival tribes before the evil white man came, that's just a fact, so did indians by the way. Hey, I agree slavery was horrible, and slave takers,owners, traders were horrible, but this rewriting of history is ridiculous. Just type Slavery in Africa in wikipedia, it's been happening for thousands of years! Also not just in Africa by the way.
Why is everybody saying "We understand slavery is bad, but it's gone and done with, none of us are responsible". Why can't you understand that maybe it's just meant to be a good movie, about slavery. It doesn't say it's shaming anybody. So quit getting so fucking offended and understand that maybe, they meant for it to be a good movie.
one thing i hope the movie does, is portray Turner as realistically as possible, because history tells us that Turner was actually a terrible person, yeah he and his men slaughtered more than a dozen women and children, hopefully the movie shows this and not just him as "the good guy".
Shannon Winter yes, but usually in movies, the person who is known to kill dozens of children isn't usually considered the "good guy"of a story, lets just say hypothetically, I make a movie in WW2, there is a guy who massacres a couple dozen children, but his excuse is: "they were raised as Nazis" , you still wouldn't really understand his decision
I am speechless. This movie was absolutely heartbreaking and so beyond words. Just finished watching it and I'm still crying as I type this. God bless you Nat Turner... You tried man. Nothing but respect. We're free Sir. Thank you...
*Spoiler alert* They throughout the well-deserved murder of the baby and its pudgy face being bashed in, then slowly laid in the open flames of the fireplace. DAMN! Hollyweird would've shown our women being raped senselessly ad brutalized to death - as long as it isn't one of ours doing it to theirs!!!
I love this movie😭😪 and yes he directed this, acted in it, & put in a long of hard work to pull this through!! Nate Parker is one of my favorites😘 I’m proud to be black our people have been through too much not to be proud 👏🏽✊🏽✊🏽
I agree and like God said we and the Hispanic and native Americans are his chosen people and a holy people and a special people to himself and God said he put us above all other people over the earth in the bible.
I'm on it...I'm ready for the movie...I'm ready for emotions...I'm ready to shed tears. My focus will certainly be upon the spiritual strength of MY people, in the face of evil, man's inhumanity against man, while reconciling our own mortality. Rightful resistance......for our children's children.
I've been waiting on this film since I heard about the praise it got at Sundance, it looks GREAT. But its funny that when you look at the comments for Free State of Jones starring Matthew Mcconaughey (Caucasian), about a Caucasian male leading African American slaves to rebel, people were saying it looks like a great, inspiring film. Now you have a film, directed, written, and starring an African American male about an African American slave leading other African American slaves to rebel so much people spread hate on it. 🤔
Strange, is it not? I, a 100% white adult man look to not only this movie but to the whole of history where men killed men for some reason that they believed to be a just cause. I cant help but look at our history and realize that we HUMANS are the cause of all of our most enduring of sufferings. We create the problems, the wars, the poverty, the famine and the biggest disease on this entire planet. The plague of humanity. How many species died at the hand of our blade. How many landscapes of pristine nature had to give way so that we filth could populate a speck of land. I despise what humanity was, and in some places still is, but i have hope. Hope that one day we will work together to create a type of heaven. Not just for financial gain, but merely for the desire of peace.
Much love to all nations and people that were going through this bullshit. I'm from a country that were under Ottoman slavery for 500 years, but my ancestors survived and fought for our freedom, so as yours my brothers and sisters. much love from Bulgaria.
this trailer made me cry so hard the ending of the trailer hit me so hard i dont know if i can watch the movie. so much shit happened to my people and yet we get nothing.
YEA HOLLYWOOD WILL NEVER PUT OUT A FILM SHOWING WHO WAS RUNNING SLAVERY THE SAME ONES RUNNNG HOLLYWOOD ,THEY ARE THE ONES WHO OWNED THE BANKS THE SLAVE SHIPS AND PLANTATIONS THEY ARE THE ONES WHO KEPT THE NATION OF ISRAEL ENSLAVED X 400 YEARS ,BUT THEY CALL THEMSELVES THE JEWS HISTORY COMPLETELY FLIPPED BY THE WHITE MAN WHAT IS NEW?
LIKE THEY EVER HAD YOKES OF IRON ON THEIR NECKS OR WERE SOLD FOR BOND MEN AND BOND WOMEN WHEN THEY GOT OFF THOSE SHIPS READ DEAUT CHAPTER 28:68 ACTUALLY READ THE ENTIRE CHAPTER ANS SEE WHO IS THE TRUE ISRAELITE ON THIS EARTH,THEY ARE NOT SO LOST .THEY WANT US LOST BUT YAH GOD'S TIME IS UP FOR THEM ISRAEL IS AWAKE
Good movie. Definitely got me thinking, I found a whole new level of appreciation for my ancestors. Love how they broke down religion in a subconscious way to show how it was used and most importantly way was it used. It'll open your eyes as you'll see how many much impact it has still to this day.
The bible was used to justify slavery and the harsh treatment of black folks by white Christians . Yet so many black folks cling to the oppressors bible..sickening
The Bible does NOT condone the slavery that went on in America. Slaves in the Bible were slaves by choice because they were poor, or they owed a debt they couldn't pay and worked it off. The punishment God gave for kidnapping was DEATH. Some of the Bible was written IN AFRICA. Christianity spread in Africa FIRST, before it came to Europe. So Africans were Christian before whites were. Those white slave owners didn't want the black slaves to learn how to read the Bible for themselves because they would have found all of that out. And that ALL people are of ONE BLOOD. God made us different colors on purpose, and it was meant to be a GIFT. It's sad because it doesn't get treated as such often enough. Even "racists" appreciate the fact that birds, fish, dogs, and other animals come in a variety of colors. But then see different color people and all of a sudden it's a problem. It's clear as day that those slave owners were NOT Christians. They simply found some verses in the Bible they could twist to justify their wickedness. God is not a respecter persons. Jesus is real, He is God. And He gave His life as a ransom for ALL. He is the Saviour of the WHOLE WORLD.
+Katie Wallk you need to go back and read that bible again .to say slavery in the bible was not like the slavery in American history is BULLSHIT! Let me give you what it says about slavery in that bible .(Leviticus 25:44-46) However you may purchase male and female slaves from foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigner including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property passing them on to your children a permanent inheritance .you may treat your slaves like this .but the people of Israel your relatives must never be treated this way
+Katie Wallk now lets see what it says in the NEW TESTAMENT (Ephesians 6:5) slaves obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear .serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ
+Katie Wallk more from the new testament about slavery .Timothy (6:1-2) Christians who are slaves should give their masters full respect so that the name of God and his teachings will not be ashamed if your master is a Christian that is no excuse for being disrespectful..you should work all the harder because you helping another believer by your efforts
I just saw a pre-release of this a few days ago and man...it was so powerful..it shed a dark light on America at the time and it's history we can never forget. There were parts where I couldn't watch because it was so brutal. I never supported flying the confederate flag but this movie is why no one should ever fly that flag...Southern Pride back then when the flag was made had to deal with racism
Honestly such a cool and amazing thing that there's a new Birth of a Nation movie about the black people of America rebelling against their slave owners. A beautiful symbol for the way things have changed and tables have been turned since the original infamous movie glorifying the klu klux klan . This movie really brings things full circle, doesn't it?
American History is so compact and full of blood, irony, and sacrifice that it makes up for the nation's young age. The plight of the slaves, secession from a tyrannical crown, tea party, civil war, gold rush, first man on the moon are just a few of many inspiring stories.
Yes, blacks should know by now how they have overcome, now is time to take responsibility, and move forward!!!! Now there is a new slavery that needs to be correct, and it is called "blacks killing blacks." The root of this problem needs to be address and solved, and set free!!!
This is a great story about Freedom. As black people we need to hear stories about our history. Those that don't know their history are doomed to repeat it.
Hungo lmaooo what are you talking about? Black people ain't the only ones who've killed all races. As I know white people been killing and mistreating every race since they got here. 😕
Hungo... you obviously do not read. Instead of expressing your negative feelings towards the black race, you should be working on unifying. Because of individuals like you this type of film is so necessary.
Which racists? DO you know anyone who has a slave or thinks it's a good idea? 650 thousand American died so slavery could end in the US. Yet there is slavery in Africa and Asia, still. Why aren't you saying something against them?
I always thought this was a documentary. I never was able to see a trailer but I’m happy they showed the trailer on RUclips. This movie looks sooo incredible. I wonder who this story is based on.
I'm happy to see we black fight back, sometimes the best way to fight it all is to give it a taste of it's own cake... We need more movies like this, more poems like this,more music like this, more history like this... Yes we matter.. Thanks for this movie.
I'm curious to see if the film depicts the deaths of the white women and children who were killed during the uprising, or if this will be left out. It's surprising it's taken this long for a Turner film to be made.
I'm curious to see why your trying to justify slavery when millions of black woman and children were raped killed brutally murded he may have killed a good chunk of woman and children but it doesn't even come close to the amount of black woman and children were raped and killed by there owners idiot
ZombieLivesMatter - I'm curious as to where I've tried to justify slavery by mentioning that history is messy and heroic figures in reality are not like they are in the movies. Idiot.
I don't know if I can watch this moive, without crying. We humans are so cruel to our fellow humans. Some would love to forget and pretend this never happened.
Great cast and directing, I will continue to look for more of his work. As for all the bitterness and verbal assault that is here on this topic ...STOP! This was the past and all that matters IS WHAT WE DO NOW! LOVE ALL FEAR ONLY GOD!
Nat' rebellion killed around 60 or so whites. Black slaves were punished by the hundreds for this. Truly terrifying how much suffering these people had to face just so they can be free. Natural rights: life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. Get life and liberty out of the picture, all they had was pursuit of happiness. And they found it in the smallest of things. Their family ties, their endurance, their strength, gave them happiness. The rebellion gave them cause.
Revelation 13:10 "He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints."
The more I learn about my ancestors slavery, the more I realise how easy I got it now compared to what they went through. Just think, they wanted freedom so bad that they had to resort to extreme violence. They died just to live free for one day & I get worried when my mobiles power is less than 10%, I'm ashamed of myself for not realising how fortunate I am compared to them. Gonna go see this movie for educational & historical purposes nothing else, then probably set myself some new goals. Too many silly people viewing this movie & not taking away any messages.
This is about education, not the shaming of any race. We need to face the reality of what happened hundreds of years ago to heal and to better deal with the issues of today.
No one should ever have to suffer how Nate has been through.We are all the same.Our color doesn't matter and neither does our race.We are all the same in the inside.
People have no idea how or ancestors have been torn down and abuse. But for people, these days now to show movies about their lives, shows me how they felt and how their hope grew and how they finally became free from the abuse that they were put into.
About time someone made a movie about Nat Turner. Now if only someone made a movie about Toussaint Louverture, Antonio Maceo, Jose Marti, Enriquillo, Hatuey, etc.
Hollywood didn't make this film. Why do people keep saying that? Nate Parker crowd funded the film because no one in Hollywood would support it. After it received critical acclaim at Sundance Fox picked it up for distribution
I'll take your claim at face value, but do you _seriously_ think movies get out there _without_ some vetting?
yes..because thats what exactly happened..Nate Parker fund this film with his own money ($100,000) at first..then went around on his own getting funding from all over

But since black people thumb up the film all logic and critical thinking goes out the window and they wonder why they can't get up with boycotting and all the other stupid ideas they have, because they love emotional, sensationalism, lies, and entertainment. Period.
so what, the white supremacist killed? this guy in a white supremacist in black skin.. no difference, you act like slaves were human but lead a rebellion killing woman and children?
Nobody likes women and children killers in movies no matter what the race
Native Americans, it is your time to stand up, this country is yours, Canada is too, don't let them hide you away. Tell us your story.
honey if your white your not gonna like that story either lol
mecca caliman i'm not your honey and i'm not white. I'm a proud black woman who is against racial injustice, not sure why you assumed I was white.
She said IF.
ocky88 she still implied / assumed. Thought I should make it clear to her.
Lol Lord have mercy
Nat Turner & Malcolm X .2 of my favorites
study Khalid Muhammad from the Nation Of Islam
I knew about Khalid since
I first saw
Him speaking on Cspan in 1994
why cause they murdered white innocent white people
Malcolm X didn't murder anybody. He talked about defending yourself by any means necessary...and nat Turner killedevil people who put him and his people through hell
*I THINK IM NAT TURNER! MALCOM X! SLAVE SECOND. YOU GOT ME FLEX! ONE NATION UNDER FARD IS A GOD KILLING DEVILS IN THE NAME OF GOD!*
if this trailor is moving me i know the whole movie is gonna touch alot of souls out here salute to nate parker
I, on the other hand, have more sympathy for the woman he raped and who then killed herself as a result of it. RIP
speak on what you know for sure not what you dont
Ignore what the suspected white supremacist thinks Nate Parker was proven innocent. But on the other hand you should definitely go see this movie its great
I'm already crying looking at it
Go see it. it was great
Yes our ancestors are strong
If somebody yells "THIEF!", I don't even flinch; you know why?..because I'm not a thief, so you can't possibly be talking to me.
But, when somebody even mentions racism, many white people immediately become defensive & start mentioning Irish slavery, European tribal disputes, etc..
Why become so defensive if YOU don't engage in racist/prejudiced behavior?
How many white people do you know that were hung from trees as recently as the 1960s, just for being white?
There are black people alive today that still remember their parents/grandparents being racially abused, physically assaulted, & even murdered/executed, just for being black (these things are STILL happening to a lesser degree today).
Stop spreading lies about blacks selling blacks to Europeans. If this lie was true, please tell me; what magical currency did Europeans use to pay The Africans with, for their own people?? What use would that currency be to a so-called "primitive" tribes-person?
Africa is the most mineral/resource rich landmass on Earth; what resource could Europeans bribe them with in the 1600s, that they didn't already possess??
The truth is, Europeans lied & kidnapped these people by force (hence the need for muskets/guns, nets & iron shackles).
These people were not taken willingly, hence the weapons, violence & the term 'kidnap'.
Even if you sold me a dog in prime health, & I beat it, tortured it, worked it to death & then set it on fire. Then imagine, years later, I had the audacity to blame YOU for selling it to me!
These people are hurting for a reason that many Europeans want to ignore or forget, even though many of these people still feel the effects of this treatment today.......
I am DEFINITELY a new subscriber! :-)
My understanding they traded weapons, and whatever else for the slaves. Africa had a long history of internal slavery don't pretend the white man introduced the practice to the noble africans. Slavery had existed EVERYWHERE in the past.
Yep whites, blacks, asians, etc... that purchased and sold slaves are bad.
SoGladUCame stop with the IGNORANT fallacies & bullshit...no black sold other blacks WITH FREE WILL...
It was Only because whites used the fact that they had access to guns 1st to COWARDLY rob+rape+plunder unarmed ppl so it was either some blacks helped find & capture other blacks or they were kidnapped themselves & sold. What would u do if a coward has the only gun around & used that fact to threaten ur family unless u helped him.
P.s.: Don't forget this was the 1st time anybody on the continent ever knew a gun existed due to Africa being surrounded by major oceans on 3 sides & the scorching Sahara up north. So making it hard to mix & mingle with the latest technologies.
justins nunya OMG, the history rewrite is strong in you. Africans took slaves from rival tribes before the evil white man came, that's just a fact, so did indians by the way.
Hey, I agree slavery was horrible, and slave takers,owners, traders were horrible, but this rewriting of history is ridiculous.
Just type Slavery in Africa in wikipedia, it's been happening for thousands of years! Also not just in Africa by the way.
it has been told to us in school that blacks sold other blacks to the white man to avoid being taken
Why is everybody saying "We understand slavery is bad, but it's gone and done with, none of us are responsible". Why can't you understand that maybe it's just meant to be a good movie, about slavery. It doesn't say it's shaming anybody. So quit getting so fucking offended and understand that maybe, they meant for it to be a good movie.
one thing i hope the movie does, is portray Turner as realistically as possible, because history tells us that Turner was actually a terrible person, yeah he and his men slaughtered more than a dozen women and children, hopefully the movie shows this and not just him as "the good guy".
he probably didn't care considering they were doing the same thing to black women and children.
he probably didn't care considering they were doing the same thing to black women and children.
Shannon Winter yes, but usually in movies, the person who is known to kill dozens of children isn't usually considered the "good guy"of a story, lets just say hypothetically, I make a movie in WW2, there is a guy who massacres a couple dozen children, but his excuse is: "they were raised as Nazis" , you still wouldn't really understand his decision
I hope they show this ALSO this is important to see.
So sad that slavery like this really happened...
Slavery still exists in the modern world in many countries
I blame every one Cruiz, back then no one knew better.
It still happens in Africa.
Yeh :(
yeh basically.
I am speechless. This movie was absolutely heartbreaking and so beyond words. Just finished watching it and I'm still crying as I type this. God bless you Nat Turner... You tried man. Nothing but respect. We're free Sir. Thank you...
Seeing it tomorrow night and I cannot wait. The trailer alone is so moving
*Spoiler alert* They throughout the well-deserved murder of the baby and its pudgy face being bashed in, then slowly laid in the open flames of the fireplace. DAMN! Hollyweird would've shown our women being raped senselessly ad brutalized to death - as long as it isn't one of ours doing it to theirs!!!
I was raised in the proverbial Mississippi of the West...Nevada...& I can't wait to see this movie to see this moving tribute to Nate Turner.
Why are some of us AFRAID to learn the truth about our great nation?
It's as if one wants to sweep everything about it under the rug
This was an excellent movie. Every American should watch this movie.
I love this movie😭😪 and yes he directed this, acted in it, & put in a long of hard work to pull this through!! Nate Parker is one of my favorites😘 I’m proud to be black our people have been through too much not to be proud 👏🏽✊🏽✊🏽
I agree and like God said we and the Hispanic and native Americans are his chosen people and a holy people and a special people to himself and God said he put us above all other people over the earth in the bible.
@@queenisrael8158🤡
I'm on it...I'm ready for the movie...I'm ready for emotions...I'm ready to shed tears. My focus will certainly be upon the spiritual strength of MY people, in the face of evil, man's inhumanity against man, while reconciling our own mortality. Rightful resistance......for our children's children.
I'm there day one to support this man and his film.
I've been waiting on this film since I heard about the praise it got at Sundance, it looks GREAT. But its funny that when you look at the comments for Free State of Jones starring Matthew Mcconaughey (Caucasian), about a Caucasian male leading African American slaves to rebel, people were saying it looks like a great, inspiring film. Now you have a film, directed, written, and starring an African American male about an African American slave leading other African American slaves to rebel so much people spread hate on it. 🤔
Amen RJ GREAT POINT.
Rj Adams word
you're so right holy shit
Strange, is it not? I, a 100% white adult man look to not only this movie but to the whole of history where men killed men for some reason that they believed to be a just cause. I cant help but look at our history and realize that we HUMANS are the cause of all of our most enduring of sufferings. We create the problems, the wars, the poverty, the famine and the biggest disease on this entire planet.
The plague of humanity. How many species died at the hand of our blade. How many landscapes of pristine nature had to give way so that we filth could populate a speck of land. I despise what humanity was, and in some places still is, but i have hope.
Hope that one day we will work together to create a type of heaven. Not just for financial gain, but merely for the desire of peace.
Amen!
Well said
yes,wise statement, we know the virus plaguing this earth.
Mainly White People!!!! Historical Fact.
Original Man
Thaaaats Racist. +1sin
(im a fan of CinemaSins)
This is one of the best and realest movie out in a long time!
Just here to say I love this movie!! And Nate Parker did this movie hisself 😘☺️ I so love him!! My boy Nat Turner ✊🏽✊🏽 I’m black and I’m PROUD🗣
As a lover of history, I look forward to seeing this movie. I wish Hollywood would make more historical dramas.
This the only movie trailer that brought tears to my eyes
I, on the other hand, shed tears for the girl that Nate and his friend raped.
Much love to all nations and people that were going through this bullshit. I'm from a country that were under Ottoman slavery for 500 years, but my ancestors survived and fought for our freedom, so as yours my brothers and sisters. much love from Bulgaria.
Anton Tomov ottoman doesnt treat you like a slave comparison you with blacks about slavery is nonsense
this trailer made me cry so hard the ending of the trailer hit me so hard i dont know if i can watch the movie. so much shit happened to my people and yet we get nothing.
The part with the little white girl skipping with the black girl....I felt every aweful emotion possible.
Omg this movie was good. loved it!!!!
easily in my personal top 2 movies of all time competing for number 1 with the Malcolm X movie
Miss Dre Jaay loves it when she is told pretty little lies before bedtime. How touching.
rebecca diggs was it really? or was it... underfunded?
It's not our complexion that define who we are as individuals, but our character,and integrity that does.
who's cutting onions
Meanwhile, your're probably a fan of Roman Polanski and Woody Allen
how come you didnt cry before his other movies
there is actual evidence about Roman Polanski yet you still put his movies on theaters you hypocrite
Is no one ganna talk about how good this trailer is
You know the Golden Globes and the Oscars are going to completely shit all over this film. Sad to say, but they will not give its due respect.
I agree
YEA HOLLYWOOD WILL NEVER PUT OUT A FILM SHOWING WHO WAS RUNNING SLAVERY THE SAME ONES RUNNNG HOLLYWOOD ,THEY ARE THE ONES WHO OWNED THE BANKS THE SLAVE SHIPS AND PLANTATIONS THEY ARE THE ONES WHO KEPT THE NATION OF ISRAEL ENSLAVED X 400 YEARS ,BUT THEY CALL THEMSELVES THE JEWS HISTORY COMPLETELY FLIPPED BY THE WHITE MAN WHAT IS NEW?
LIKE THEY EVER HAD YOKES OF IRON ON THEIR NECKS OR WERE SOLD FOR BOND MEN AND BOND WOMEN WHEN THEY GOT OFF THOSE SHIPS READ DEAUT CHAPTER 28:68 ACTUALLY READ THE ENTIRE CHAPTER ANS SEE WHO IS THE TRUE ISRAELITE ON THIS EARTH,THEY ARE NOT SO LOST .THEY WANT US LOST BUT YAH GOD'S TIME IS UP FOR THEM ISRAEL IS AWAKE
fuck them anyway, a bunch of old out-of-date white people giving each other awards.
Exactly
The soundtrack gives me goosebumps..
+Nomore Afterwipe those little bumps on your skin when you feel something intense
+booboo Kitty blacks dont get em its for white privileged only
Good movie. Definitely got me thinking, I found a whole new level of appreciation for my ancestors. Love how they broke down religion in a subconscious way to show how it was used and most importantly way was it used. It'll open your eyes as you'll see how many much impact it has still to this day.
The bible was used to justify slavery and the harsh treatment of black folks by white Christians .
Yet so many black folks cling to the oppressors bible..sickening
The Bible does NOT condone the slavery that went on in America. Slaves in the Bible were slaves by choice because they were poor, or they owed a debt they couldn't pay and worked it off. The punishment God gave for kidnapping was DEATH. Some of the Bible was written IN AFRICA. Christianity spread in Africa FIRST, before it came to Europe. So Africans were Christian before whites were. Those white slave owners didn't want the black slaves to learn how to read the Bible for themselves because they would have found all of that out. And that ALL people are of ONE BLOOD. God made us different colors on purpose, and it was meant to be a GIFT. It's sad because it doesn't get treated as such often enough. Even "racists" appreciate the fact that birds, fish, dogs, and other animals come in a variety of colors. But then see different color people and all of a sudden it's a problem. It's clear as day that those slave owners were NOT Christians. They simply found some verses in the Bible they could twist to justify their wickedness. God is not a respecter persons. Jesus is real, He is God. And He gave His life as a ransom for ALL. He is the Saviour of the WHOLE WORLD.
+Katie Wallk you need to go back and read that bible again .to say slavery in the bible was not like the slavery in American history is BULLSHIT! Let me give you what it says about slavery in that bible .(Leviticus 25:44-46) However you may purchase male and female slaves from foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigner including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property passing them on to your children a permanent inheritance .you may treat your slaves like this .but the people of Israel your relatives must never be treated this way
+Katie Wallk now lets see what it says in the NEW TESTAMENT (Ephesians 6:5) slaves obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear .serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ
+Katie Wallk more from the new testament about slavery .Timothy (6:1-2) Christians who are slaves should give their masters full respect so that the name of God and his teachings will not be ashamed if your master is a Christian that is no excuse for being disrespectful..you should work all the harder because you helping another believer by your efforts
I just saw a pre-release of this a few days ago and man...it was so powerful..it shed a dark light on America at the time and it's history we can never forget. There were parts where I couldn't watch because it was so brutal. I never supported flying the confederate flag but this movie is why no one should ever fly that flag...Southern Pride back then when the flag was made had to deal with racism
Honestly such a cool and amazing thing that there's a new Birth of a Nation movie about the black people of America rebelling against their slave owners. A beautiful symbol for the way things have changed and tables have been turned since the original infamous movie glorifying the klu klux klan . This movie really brings things full circle, doesn't it?
American History is so compact and full of blood, irony, and sacrifice that it makes up for the nation's young age. The plight of the slaves, secession from a tyrannical crown, tea party, civil war, gold rush, first man on the moon are just a few of many inspiring stories.
i cant stop crying
instead of all this crying, why don't we get ta know one another? wink.. wink..
me either
Pussy behind a profile attacking a woman! Genetically mutated garbage with a low IQ and limited vocabulary.
Lmfaoo this world is great
I love these types of movies. it shows how much we have over come. Things are going to get better
Yes, blacks should know by now how they have overcome, now is time to take responsibility, and move forward!!!! Now there is a new slavery that needs to be correct, and it is called "blacks killing blacks." The root of this problem needs to be address and solved, and set free!!!
I cannot wait until this comes out!
Just the trailer alone got me emotional!
Saw it tonight. It was amazing
It sure was
it talt me a lot
"I pray you sing a new song." Man thats deep
Wow... God forgive me for anytime complaining about my life. This was actually people's reality...
This is a great story about Freedom. As black people we need to hear stories about our history. Those that don't know their history are doomed to repeat it.
Jessus this si a very good movie guys i can tell you that just by watching the trailer.
yeah i watch the trailer in my vault 111 big boy....
its rubbish seen it
When did you see it????
liar
It's well below average. I can tell you because I saw it. It might be worth a view when its on cable, but I wouldn't watch it again.
Nat Turner Is just one in hundreds, if not.thousands. I'm so proud that this.story is finally being told
Seen it last night .pretty good movie
This movie looks phenomenal
"A slave master's whip is no match for the Time Haters' pistol." - Hater's in Time, 2004
Kenny Tee lmao fucking Dave Chapelle?
😢😢😢 Superb!!! Great great movie...a must-see! Bring box of tissues😓
The little boy that snitched in the end got me hella pissed
Gosh! The previews give me chills and makes me teary eyed. Can't wait to go see it!
Is this not just the J. Cole - G.O.M.D.extended music video?
The "fights" are historical fact, you ignorant jackass.
you racist bitch
Hungo lmaooo what are you talking about? Black people ain't the only ones who've killed all races. As I know white people been killing and mistreating every race since they got here. 😕
Hungo... you obviously do not read. Instead of expressing your negative feelings towards the black race, you should be working on unifying. Because of individuals like you this type of film is so necessary.
"He waitin on something... He waitin on us" Power asf
Another of those slave movies? Is something in the air?!
racism
+Armand Lyon sadly it's not a past yet ,at least not in America.
Which racists? DO you know anyone who has a slave or thinks it's a good idea? 650 thousand American died so slavery could end in the US. Yet there is slavery in Africa and Asia, still. Why aren't you saying something against them?
WTF? Go away.
they have to keep reminding black people they were slaves. why not make a movie about black people before they were enslaved.
That was powerful. Very emotional trailer. Can't wait to see the movie.
It seems interesting❤
This movie made me cry
So pretty much The 12 Years a Slave Rises...
So when a Black fights back against other mass murdering egomaniacs, you only see him as the villain?? Yep, that about sums up you whites??
monokhem - yeah, yeah, save it! I've heard enough crap in life from crappy people like you!
I always thought this was a documentary. I never was able to see a trailer but I’m happy they showed the trailer on RUclips. This movie looks sooo incredible. I wonder who this story is based on.
To die, on my feet like a man, or on all fours like a dog?
Thank you Nat Parker
cant wait ima go opening night
This is black people's brave heart
Can't wait to see this! #natturner #rebel
Can't wait to see this, it's coming out just in time
The Birth of a Nation (1915) White Propaganda The Birth of a Nation (1016) Black Propaganda
2016*
I'm happy to see we black fight back, sometimes the best way to fight it all is to give it a taste of it's own cake... We need more movies like this, more poems like this,more music like this, more history like this... Yes we matter.. Thanks for this movie.
I'm curious to see if the film depicts the deaths of the white women and children who were killed during the uprising, or if this will be left out. It's surprising it's taken this long for a Turner film to be made.
fuck those women and children.
The Revolutionist - That's the spirit.
Keyser Soze thanks!👏👍
I'm curious to see why your trying to justify slavery when millions of black woman and children were raped killed brutally murded he may have killed a good chunk of woman and children but it doesn't even come close to the amount of black woman and children were raped and killed by there owners idiot
ZombieLivesMatter - I'm curious as to where I've tried to justify slavery by mentioning that history is messy and heroic figures in reality are not like they are in the movies. Idiot.
Rest in peace and thank you my beloved ancestor❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Racism isn't over
I .... no ...... WE are over racism !!!!
If this movie doesn't make your heart ache, then your not listening...
I don't know if I can watch this moive, without crying. We humans are so cruel to our fellow humans. Some would love to forget and pretend this never happened.
I will be one of the first to to line up to watch this movie I'm going to support this movie.
Great cast and directing, I will continue to look for more of his work. As for all the bitterness and verbal assault that is here on this topic ...STOP! This was the past and all that matters IS WHAT WE DO NOW! LOVE ALL FEAR ONLY GOD!
Nat' rebellion killed around 60 or so whites. Black slaves were punished by the hundreds for this. Truly terrifying how much suffering these people had to face just so they can be free. Natural rights: life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. Get life and liberty out of the picture, all they had was pursuit of happiness. And they found it in the smallest of things. Their family ties, their endurance, their strength, gave them happiness. The rebellion gave them cause.
Its an amazing movie!! I've never tried so hard not to cry
Revelation 13:10 "He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints."
Saw the movie last night. very powerful.
i saw him yesterday, i was in a program with him for a week and he is trully an amazing guy.
The more I learn about my ancestors slavery, the more I realise how easy I got it now compared to what they went through. Just think, they wanted freedom so bad that they had to resort to extreme violence.
They died just to live free for one day & I get worried when my mobiles power is less than 10%, I'm ashamed of myself for not realising how fortunate I am compared to them.
Gonna go see this movie for educational & historical purposes nothing else, then probably set myself some new goals. Too many silly people viewing this movie & not taking away any messages.
I will be seeing this with my sons ...
This is about education, not the shaming of any race. We need to face the reality of what happened hundreds of years ago to heal and to better deal with the issues of today.
No one should ever have to suffer how Nate has been through.We are all the same.Our color doesn't matter and neither does our race.We are all the same in the inside.
People have no idea how or ancestors have been torn down and abuse. But for people, these days now to show movies about their lives, shows me how they felt and how their hope grew and how they finally became free from the abuse that they were put into.
one of the best films i have seen this year
I watched this movie on Saturday in theaters..I cried so hard.
This world has had just over 200 years of peace since time began. that's a sad thought how nothing has changed.
this trailer made me cry when I first seen it with the history of this nation toward blacks RISE UP MY PEOPLE AND WAKE UP
About time someone made a movie about Nat Turner. Now if only someone made a movie about Toussaint Louverture, Antonio Maceo, Jose Marti, Enriquillo, Hatuey, etc.
THE TABLES MUST TURN ONE DAY. #WE SHALL NEVER FORGET!!
This trailer is absolutely EPIC!
