What went wrong?

Was it the rape thing?

Even black people are tired of hearing about slavery. The only people who eat this up are white liberals.

This.

Really the only thing this had fueling it was racial hate.

The new version is historically inaccurate. The first one was based on true facts.

Why did they take a great film and fuck it up for the pleasure and enjoyment of SJWs?

I don't want to say it's the Jews but........

Was it the jews?

It's not based on the same story, my b8ing friend.

It literally wasn't the Jews.

Black director, black writer, black producers, etc. It's an independent movie that was picked up by a major studio, not the other way around (i.e., a major studio getting an independent director or some shit).

The rape allegations and the way in which he handled them destroyed any semblance of success the movie could have had. He was also arrogant as fuck about it, almost like a jock. He actually said, "I'm not going to apologize because I was found exonerated." While he's partially correct, it comes off as insensitive and he never addressed the bluntness of the topic, evaded direct questioning, redirected the conversation, etc. It also didn't help that he worked with the guy who was also accused of raping the victim -- so, a rape duo making a movie and being successful.

He was fucked from the onset. A shame since a lot of movie reviewers said it was/is pretty good (or the ones I read, anyway).

Black people only watch movies so they can shout and talk over them.

Probably didn't help that the girl killed herself over it.

Just saw it tonight. It was good, not amazing and not a must see. Pretty good for a first time director, but not sure he'll get another chance cause of the whole rape thing.

>said it was good

Every review I've seen has said that it's a middling film but you should see it because of its message

Aka shit aesthetic and artistic achievement but give it brownie points because of its politics

>good
>color grading
>in a historical film

I hope he gets lynched for this abomination

>The rape allegations and the way in which he handled them destroyed any semblance of success the movie could have had

no, the fact that it's a shit movie destroyed any semblance of success it could have had. the only people giving it positive reviews are people who like the idea of the movie and how it's "relevant" to today, they don't actually talk about the actual execution of those ideas.

Nobody went to see the Free state of Jones and that was another feel good film of slaves killing whitey. And that one even had a white man as the lead.

Slavery revenge porn is overdone.

>brownie points
hehe.

Honestly it's the other way around. It has great aesthetic and setting and is pretty well made but the message wasn't great and the parts that should have been very emotional were not.

Even white guilt isn't enough to make liberals give money to a nigger rapist.

Eh it's a style choice. I don't mind it much.

Oh shit I forgot about that movie, it really did bomb didn't it?

It's a fucking slavery movie. They never do that well in the box office, especially not recently.

12 Years a Slave, which did win Best Picture, never earned more than $7mil domestically in a weekend.

Is color grading a good aesthetic in your opinion?

Looks like the production budget was $10 million according to a few sources, but Fox Searchlight apparently paid them $17.5 million for the rights to distribute it.

>The Birth Of A Nigger
Probably.

Not necessarily. As I said the setting was good and the imagery in certain scenes were borderline kino. it's ok if a film has color grading. It working in this particular case as far as "aesthetic."

>and that was another feel good film of slaves killing whitey
> feel good

Free State of Jones was depressing as fuck, it ends with Knight broken and alone and his descendant going to prison for marrying a white woman.

>descendant going to prison for marrying a white woman

It is depressing
