Nobody has ever gone from 0 to JUST faster than this man and his movie.
The (((powers that be))) must be really fuming right now. I doubt he's gonna make another movie ever. This is a JUST of Paul Feig proportions.
Xavier Lopez
Going by second week drop off alone isn't a smart idea. For examples, Avengers 2 had a second week drop off of 74%, and it still pulled 1.4 billion. This is because, in general, most people go to see big movies like Avengers 2 the first week.
Thing is, Birth of a Nation didn't do well in its first week despite having such a wide release, so this drop off indicates it has bombed.
I dunno, I think the whole thing says a lot about the current state of social movements in America. I think interest in caring about things like "representation of minorities in Hollywood" is declining, I think people aren't staying "woke," but there might be more to it than that.
Certainly, the rape allegations (that he was cleared of, not that that matters to the perpetually outraged) hurt the movie's performance to some extent.
Michael Myers
I think the rape allegations combined with the fictional rape in the movie combined to paint Nate as a horrible asshole even in the unlikely event that he isn't a rapist.

What's the 1915 movie?
Matthew Campbell
This is a good point, I hadn't even heard of the 1915 version until this one was advertised.
In a weird sort of way, this flick brought notoriety to a forgotten KKK propaganda piece.
Carter Rodriguez
I thought it was a nazi movie with the same name
But it can't be the 1915 version
Samuel Gonzalez
just when i thought Cred Forums couldn't get more pleb i see these posts... never heard of birth of a nation... shake my head...
Adam Myers
Going to see it this afternoon, i've been told every black person should go see it.
Gavin Bailey
Wake up man, it's no Triumph des Willens
Zachary Nguyen
You're only willing to believe he's a rapist, despite him being cleared of the allegation (singular) because he's black.
If he were white, you'd be crying about how feminism is destroying him.
I don't appreciate dishonesty.

The original Birth of a Nation, regardless of its content, is a landmark in film. You should have at least heard of it.
Not that it matters. That other user was being a dick.

Adam Sanchez
I honestly don't give a fuck about the rape charges. What I give a fuck about is taking a politically relevant story and changing it so that your black protagonist is more sympathetic in his quest to kill white men women and children than he was in real life. That shit is fucking despicable. From a legit madman who thought it was visions from God telling him to go and kill whitey, to an honourable man whose wife got raped. What a load of bullshit.
Brandon Young
He was cleared after the bitch killed herself
Landon Brooks
do you have sex while wearing them? do you go to the beach while wearing them? are your trousers short?
Jayden Myers
I think it has to do with the rise of Trump. It's not just this movie, even leftist networks and things like the NFL after the protests are suffering lower views. His supporters are nothing if not determined.

Thanks I appreciate it.
Jaxson Hill
>Going by second week drop off alone isn't a smart idea.
But it is. Your own example of the Avengers 2 wasn't anywhere near as well received as the first Avengers or even Captain America 2, hence the drop off because there was nothing for the plebs to latch onto, like a charismatic villain or a slightly stylish story with well-done action scenes.
Kevin Lee
>>condemned by black women for marrying a white chick >>critics slowly admit the film is not as good as they said it was, they just wanted to hop on the #OscarsSoWhite bandwagon Sauce for both of these?

Possibly. I guess we'll see if your average American is really fed up with it with this election.
Grayson Lopez

You don't need a source for something that's been a black cultural thing for 50+ years.

Avengers 2 did better than Captain America 2 in the box office, largely because it had a better opening.

Kayden Collins
Captain America 2 had a big drop off (60%). Can't remember or find the information for the first Avengers, but I wouldn't be too shocked if it was above the average.
Carter Jenkins
No no no. Trump is not the cause. He is the response. This anti-white bullshit has been cranked up to 11 for years now. Trayvon, Black Lives Matter, etc etc etc
Hunter Gonzalez
It's a Faraci moment.
You can't cry foul when you tried to capitalize on the same system that fucked you over.
Live by the SJW sword, die by the SJW sword.
Isaiah Cooper
Not that user, and I wouldn't say all or most people gave him shit for it, but yes, people did give him shit for it.
I am actually kinda surprised to be honest. 50% of white americans are completely cucked by 'white guilt'.
Joseph Peterson
Trump is a symptom.
This is why it's funny when people act like electing Clinton is going to end these problems. She's continuing a chain that caused these problems and will make them worse.
Trump is just the beginning.
Josiah Young
>Faraci moment What?
Lincoln Rodriguez
Exactly. Trump offers the possibility of fixing many of our grievances. If Trump loses, the pot will eventually boil over instead. Some shit WILL eventually go down. It's a question of whether it's going to be peaceful or violent.
Kayden Russell
>>condemned by black women for marrying a white chick
Is this real? lmao
Gabriel Howard

Levi Peterson
Film critic Devin Faraci. Spent the last couple of years building his profile by being the most violently determined, vocal and abusive SJW humanly possible.
Last week got outed as a rapist (based on a very old unverifiable claim). Career absolutely btfo and dead. Can't fight it, because he championed the same system that crushed him.
Brody Rodriguez
>racism can be ignored when blacks do it and its against whites That's exactly what it means and not even an exaggeration.
Robert Hall
O-ok
Jonathan Price
I don't know who this is and don't see how it relates to this situation or why you'd bring it up.
Do you genuinely think it's fair that a person have their career ruined because they were accused of something courts cleared them of years ago? Because I don't think you do.
Colton Davis
Holy shit
Zachary Butler
Not when they try to push an anti-Semite agenda through propaganda backed by (((them)))
Jordan Phillips
these BLM types are just against BLACKED as Cred Forums.
His career existed because of far left politics, and it was ended by far left politics.
Was the situation that ended his career right? No.
...But neither was the situation that created his career.
So it evens out.
Adrian Gomez
You don't think it's right unless it's done to someone you don't like.
You sound like a genuine asshole.
Brody Scott
Any means neccesary are valid against an uppity nigger, seriously. If we don't have Trump, there is going to be a race war. Parker was stirring the pot for his own profit, and he deserves everything we can use against him.

Jayden Robinson
Correct.
Those systems aren't right.
But there is no sympathy on my part for him because he was perfectly happy to enjoy the benefits of that system.
What confuses you about that?
Jayden Mitchell
Anwar is the true voice of black America, that's what's so tragic about a bitter minority of black Americans allowing themselves to be used by Clinton like Obama never happened.
Daniel Collins
Great strawman your mom must be proud of you.
Carson Cooper
Great buzzword.
Upboat much karma.

I'm more offended that this nobody had the gall to challenge D.W. Griffith than anything else. Fucking 'Cloud Atlas' was probably a better challenge to Griffith than this shit will be.

Alright. I'm glad you at least understand what a hypocrite that makes you that you're cheering on an injustice that you yourself are supposed to be against.
Levi Harris

Cameron Kelly
Not him, but the most important lesson you will ever learn is that hypocrisy is a meaningless accusation. We all prefer our own interests. We all want justice for others and mercy for ourselves. This is called 'human nature'.
Thomas Allen
>when Redditor tells you Reddit is not a liberal shithole
Why you lie?
Isaac Scott
It doesn't make me a hypocrite.
If you support him or the movie while deriding the ruination of his career, you are a hypocrite.
I do not actually believe, at all, that he is a rapist.
I celebrate, in the loosest sense of the term, his career being ruined by the same politics he used to succeed.
There is literally nothing hypocritical about that.
I didn't support him when he race baited fucking self loathing cucks to get a career boost, and I don't support him when self loathing cucks ruin his career to virtue signal.
Lay down with dogs, get up with fleas.
Oliver Thomas
>We all want justice But you don't want justice. You want to see bad things (that you know are wrong) happen to people with different politics, and then cry when those other people want and do the same.
Jackson Diaz
Sure thing, Bob.
Tyler Campbell
yes, yes you're middle-ground neutral so wise and all that. But can you fuck off? I've been watching these posts go back and forth for however long and you just don't get it.
What'shisname rode the virtue-signalling tolerance-wave to success and now it's violently crashed down on him.
That's funny.
Caleb Sullivan
It's not even that.
I'm not ona soap box demanding justice for his rape "victim".
I enjoy the schadenfreude of seeing a man who exists in the public eye because of his exploitation of identity politics be crucified in the public eye because of identity politics.
I'm not the one pointing the finger and yelling "Raaaaapist! Burn his career down!".
That's the same SJW's he turned to for success.
I'm just enjoying my popcorn.
Gavin Torres
"He's not a rapist, but he committed thought crimes, so I'm happy he's being called a rapist and having his career destroyed."

Kayden Turner
I am out of the loop, what is this all about?
Easton Long
Lmao shit deflection
Caleb Fisher
This film was never that loved. Even after Sundance. The critics liked it but they thought it was a flawed film. I remember the average score on RT in January was like 7.7 or so.
Carter Long
>yes, yes you're middle-ground neutral so wise and all that. You've got it wrong. I'm not middle ground neutral.
I'm staunchly against social justice warriors like you destroying the livelihood of an innocent man using a baseless allegation that was dismissed in courts.
Fuck off back to tumblr, bitchtits.
Caleb Smith
Whether something's wrong or not depends on who it's happening to. If it's happening to Nate Parker, I'm fine with it. There are no absolute moral standards because there are no secular human rights - the whole thing is a meme, a spook. In reality, there is God's equal love for all of us, which I don't dispute, and then there's merit, hierarchy, respect, obedience, duty, protocol and tradition. Nate Parker tried to prosper by yelling 'fire' in a crowded theater. He will never be anything now.
Christopher Gutierrez

Pretty brave of him to voice his desires in today's political climate. I just hope his voice along with many others aren't drowned out.

You know that the movie was made to profit from BLM and the rise of black anarchy. You know this. Why are you lying about it?
Hunter Diaz
It depends who he intended to target. I don't know who he is, so it matters little to me.
Jack Davis
Well if you say it, it's good enough to be true!
Robert Jenkins
Keep fighting the good fight user. If only everyone could read 1984 and realize these great truths you have such a firm grasp on.
Jose Ward
Good reply.
Oliver Harris
He was only allowed to make it because of that shit. This is like claiming Griffith's original wasn't racist - Nate Parker's Birth of a Nation exists to make bank from the same culture and drives BLM played to and that led to cop-killing.
Brandon Foster
Just because people aren't watching it doesn't mean it won't be a best picture nominee.
I'm calling it right now. The Academy pretty much has to nominate all the leading actors, the director, and the film for best picture or the SJW and WE WUZ KINGS outcry will destroy them.
Hell, if Birth of a Nation doesn't win Best Picture it will be a bloodbath.
I'm calling it right now, they're giving Best Picture to this movie.
Xavier Flores
I want him to win. I want to see the SJW scum that wanted niggers to win Oscars. Well you got want you wanted. A nigger won. And big shock he's also a rapist that got a girl to kill herself. I want to see the look on their faces when they try to worm their way out of this one.

It's also why women should not be allowed an equal say in how you run a country.
