      Political correctness

      The quality of the film was poor, and it was rather boring because there was no dialogue. With the length of more than 3 hours, the film was reluctant to look at it carefully, so I browsed it by turning the page. According to the great significance of the film in film history, I feel that it should be suitable for those film professionals to study as film materials. The film shooting skills he created have long been surpassed by many later works, so it is only of extraordinary significance....

      10/10

      There's not a single “bad guy” in this movie. There's only people doing their jobs, making their livings the way they know how to in the slave economy. So regardless of how alike a slave owner is of you and I, by participating in the slave economy, the system corrupts them. It's not the people that's the problem, it's the system. A corrupt system cannot be fixed by “good apples” ie educated slave owners who treat their slaves kindly and humanely. This movie makes this...

      Who are you

      China is not a multi-ethnic country. It really doesn't resonate. The director's skill is limited. He just feels that he is angry and has nowhere to vent. It's all the gossip outside the director's play, which is more interesting to me than the movie.

              Before the black history of the director was turned out, the brother was criticized by black compatriots: he married a white wife. Later, the scandal intensified, and it even split the people who originally supported him....

      God’s will is not to use God’s will to direct people

      The black leader who was enlightened by the enslaved god, through the Bible sermon, was helping the slave owner to appease the slaves with hard work, and finally rose up after his own woman was asleep, and his next generation continued to be oppressed by enslavement. In the end, he was hanged and dissected, but failed. However, the uprising will not hinder the wheel of historical development. Yes, there are so many similar bridges of brave hearts, so there are so many strong heroism...

      Seediq Bale

      When Sediqbale was released, many people said it was too brutal and bloody, and openly advocated violent resistance and racial vengeance, which is not the mainstream value. But after all, the film is so wonderful, and the revenge of blood relatives is also very pleasant, so there is no particular criticism.

      The same is true for the birth of a country. Christianity teaches people to be patient, obedient, and tolerant, but the kind heart of the black pastor has been eroded little by...

      Really "politically correct". Since last year's Oscar racism scandal, this trend has completely changed and spread. Just like the disgusting and stupid pseudo-feminism in China, the director of rapists pushes himself to the moral commanding heights, distorts historical facts, sublimates himself, moves himself, and disgusts the audience. The story is protracted, the characters are flat, and the script is loose. The film is also known as "The Voice of a Rapist...

      When will the history of filming black slaves be called political correctness? Is it also politically correct to shoot the Eight-Power Allied Forces burning, killing, looting and torture next time?...

    Evaluation action

    "The Birth of a Nation" seems too serious. Although the film is very artistic in many ways, it lacks a unified aesthetic. However, it was not fully demonstrated at the end. In the second part of the two-hour movie, Pai Parker changed from a pacifist who encountered challenges on the moral bottom line to a leader who triggered a full-scale racial war. The change took only 11 minutes to manifest. If more time can be used in the film to...
