I am very tired of the slave movies, is it possible that we can move the timeline forward and have a movie about Garrett A. Morgan. I would love to see that. Don't get me wrong Nat Turner definitely deserves a movie, just not in this decade. (This is just an opinion, I will have a more fleshed out review when I finally see this in 2021.)

While the subject matter is familiar, I was previously unfamiliar with the story of Nat Turner. The film isn't perfect, but considering this is the directing debut of Parker, it is ultimately a huge accomplishment. A tragic story, as expected, but one told with a righteous passion.

Nate Parker's inexperience, but also his passion, really show in this sometimes powerful, but often boring and conventional movie. Sluggish pace, ugly desaturated color palette, generic writing and atrociously filmed and edited action scenes are all signs of a writer/director that has a lot of room for improvement. The character work was also lacking, with Parker asking the audience to care for a protagonist just because he's suffering, while not doing the hard work of actually presenting a likable lead. The religious justification and glorification of violence is also, though sometimes understandable, deeply troubling. The huge historical inaccuracies don't help either, and their connection with Parker's rape allegations are darkly ironic at best, and creepy at worst. This said, there's good in here. This is a movie that counts on moments, and Parker really banks on those, and they mainly work, as do the performances. But in between them there's just a less gripping _12 Years a Slave_. I can understand people who love this movie, as I can understand who hates it. Personally, I'm in the middle of the road, but _The Birth of a Nation_ certainly isn't the Oscar contender that Sundance would have us believe.

such a powerful and at the same time, sad movie. acting is good - 4/5 story is interesting - 4/5 character development is superb - 5/5 only thing that movie is missing, at least for me, is some kind of tactic instead of rushing into armed soldiers. you just cant do that. anyway, i enjoyed in this movie and i can say that i didnt watch a solid or good movie for a looong time. not perfect, but very good! overall 8/10 [spoiler]fuck those idiots who wanted slavery. i just cant understand that, how much you need to be brain damaged to do things like that to other human beings[/spoiler] i just hope that things like that, **slavery**, wont happen again. EVER AGAIN. ==were all the same. peace to that!==

**Book and non-violence versus weapon and upraising.**

The best thing about this film is the script that based on the real. Such films are really worth a watch, before that, worth to be made. But did it depicted accurately is what we don't know. So here the effort should be appreciated and everyo More
