THE BIRTH OF A NATION MOVIE REVIEW - Double Toasted Review

[@JaeRell]

I always wanted to see a slave horror movie where the plantation family is haunted by a little slave girl they killed.

[@indi-go1868]

You talking about Myrtle's Plantation in South Carolina? A similar incident happened, and now that plantation is one of the most haunted places in America.

[@JaeRell]

Never heard of that. Imma look it up though. Sounds interesting.

[@PhantosTheHedgehog]

dude, write that as a short story or a short film! I like that idea!

[@indi-go1868]

PhantosTheHedgehog Jesus Christ... I freaking love your username and profile image

Heh, thanks :)

I hope they make a film about the Haitian Revolution.

[@noangel1087]

I would love to see that

[@lxs077]

noangel1087 especially the part were they turn into the poorest country in the caribbean?

[@bobgray6498]

that would be amazing

[@Dommy521]

but then y'all would complain and say black people still became the villain, unless they cut out the part that had the mass white genocide

[@rodneymckay8860]

Dommy521. What? Are you referring to me? I saw the film and it's the best movie this year. And if anyone thought the slaves were the villains must be ignorant. If fighting ones oppressors is wrong, then William Wallace would have to be considered a villain as well.

[@Loophole23742]

The movie is inspirational. Nat Turner is a hero, an underdog who thought back against his oppressors. It’s inspirational to everyone who has been oppressed, everyone who has been raped or abused. It’s the story of payback and about the under dog fighting back. Even though he died, his death meant something. He shook up the system and inspired many who fought in the civil war as shown at the end of the movie. He sacrificed himself to inspire others to fight against injustice. That’s pretty heroic and inspirational to me.

[@JazGalaxy]

I'm with Kory. Most American history books mention two slave revolts, one being Nat Turner, as a the rationale for why slave laws got more and more strict. But, then, the last history book I had in Texas college got banned in Texas for being too liberal, so... I don't know what they teach today.

[@Kxpuc]

I can't believe he dressed in blackface for this review

[@frbe0101]

I'm hispanic so no fucks given, have you seen Hamilton?

[@justinb.1407]

Nah. I'm working as a salaryman in Tokyo and I don't think it's coming out here anytime soon. I'd love to see it tho.

[@justinb.1407]

@Iplead Well our presidential choices right now are a blatant racist and a more subtle racist in a country that was founded off of stealing people's land and enslavement. So if you're asking how I'll feel if Trump takes over, my answer is really not that much different. The racists that run this country and the people who support it haven't changed one bit since this country was officially founded it's just that one group is more obvious than the other. Personally, I like my racists right out in the open.

[@leonardoc.3931]

The story of Catcher Freeman

[@LEEboneisDaMan]

Griffith made a movie called The Yellowman and the Girl... So to say he had a messed up relationship with the concept of race relations is a bit of an understatement -.-

[@fremenchips]

You might want to read the plot of the movie before coming to that conclusion. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_Blossoms

[@LEEboneisDaMan]

No I sat through and watched the damn thing in film history course. I was also the only Asian in the room. It was uncomfortable as shit. -.- Like... I could tell he was trying to be fair to Chinese people. But he was doing it in literally the worst way possible. -.- After the it was done, my professor looked at me and said. "Yeah maybe I shouldn't show that one next year" The whole room laughed.

[@fremenchips]

LEEboneisDaMan From what I remember of the film outside of the main character being in Yellow face and the use of some racial epithets, both of which were completely normal in 1919 there really isn't that much objectionable to it, the guy is an outcast who gets revenge on the father of white girl he beat to death. As for the objectionable practices from today's point of view you can't apply a 2016 sense of morality on a 1919 film. If you're to go by that logic and apply to everything then you get crazy results.

[@retrograveproductions4175]

this film is brutal, powerful and well directed. It is the Braveheart of this year, maybe this generation. Like, Mel Gibson, I can see Nate Parker getting best actor & director OR director & film at the Oscars

[@sesfilmsllc]

Except the clothes are accurate.

[@themightymonkeybable]

I don't care aboutwhat the director did. This is a film where multiple people were involved and poured their artistic minds into. I will watch this film.

[@Andaverde]

I never even heard of Nat turner! WTF how bad is our education!?

[@zeekpunanibuckle1115]

very

[@shill1444]

Yes. That's how bad the educational system is, especially for us. The system is set up to avoid and rug sweep a lot of this country's ugly past away.

[@Andaverde]

yeah but how come i never heard of Nikolis Tesla? like not till i was in collage did i hear of him XD

[@shill1444]

Again. The system. Not racial negligence but dirty, just the same. It works to establish and set the narrative the way THEY want it to go. Revisionist history.

[@shill1444]

As a teen, I had a white teacher that talked about the revolt in school. He said he wasn't allowed to teach on it, wasn't in the curriculum. He also called Columbus scum of the Earth. The whole class did an audible gasp. lol And also, I didn't even know who Tesla was until I seen The Prestige. I read up all I could about him... holy shit is that a long tale!

[@00ghostcobra]

No such thing as a kind slave master...

[@loranfrancisco31]

I highly recommend this movie it's a must see.

Korey just destroyed goodwyn with that line about school so quickly he didn't even get to digest the pain properly

[@dellshonewilson6187]

This movie was incredible! After I saw this film, myself and others had a discussion about it. It's kind of like the opposite of blazing saddles

[@orangelazarus91]

“Next thing you know there’s gonna be a ‘found footage’ horror movie of someone going back in time and shooting slavery…” Y’all ever heard of Goodbye Uncle Tom?

[@unknownmulatto]

Predicted Antebellum at the end......

[@mr.j4508]

Korey doesn't wanna see another slave movie for 3 years and expects the next movie is gonna be a horror movie 3 years later... Antebellum

[@Loophole23742]

Or the woman king released this year which he seemed to enjoy🤣

[@stephenbrame3042]

Did Korey predict Antebellum in this review ? 23:54

[@BoldenFMA]

Its amazing that people will call a film "classic" based solely on the fact that its what they've heard or they've been told.

[@saiferoth]

I wanted to hear Martin's story at the theatre

[@TheMarilyndmiller2]

Intolerance (1916) was made as an answer to his critics, but not as an apology for the negative images of African Americans in film. He never apologized and couldn't give 2 shi*s about the NAACP criticism of his movie.

[@terrancejohnson9108]

I'm happy they did this. Haven't even watched all the way through.

[@dellshonewilson6187]

I agree, it was a one and done for me

[@theredhood5863]

I normally do not like Slave movies but this shit is better than sex Nate Parker did a excellent job

[@ARuiz-eu3hk]

That is actually not a bad idea for a interesting movie. Group of mix race friends found a way to travel back in time to record historical slavery events. But got caught during the process of observation. Sounds legitimately sacry right their.

[@ianbowss9639]

Yeah. Like 4 black dudes wanna go back to the 1980s but they go back to the 1880s accidentally. As they said in the review. They capture all this intense torture type footage with their camera whilst they're trying to hide away from crazy ass slave owners. Movie starts with someone finding a modern day camera in a lockbox from the 1800s. Then they view it.. the idea sounds stupid when said out loud. but at the same time it hasn't stopped people from making like 5 or 6 paranormal activity movies.

[@MarkArandjus]

The next slave movie's gonna be a feature-length adaptation of Chapelle's 'Playa Haters Time Travelling'. I would watch the absolute fuck out of it.

[@callum4450]

The racial stuff aside, Birth of a Nation is a masterpiece, and D.W Griffith is one of the best directors in history. Period.

[@oecfim]

The ending of this film made me cry rivers in class.

[@michaelhartman2841]

Did they make a video review for 12 years a slave, I always hear them talk about Corey’s dislike of Michael Fassbender in that movie.

[@Sjono]

A kind slave owner? I never thought I'd hear such a phrase

[@donjon383]

"Kind" slave owners were still slave owners. If they were actually kindhearted people they would have freed their slaves immediately and supported abolition, but that did not happen. In the end they were just as much pieces of shit as the asshole slave owners

[@Sjono]

+don jon That's what I'm saying. Korey making such a phrase is an oxymoron

[@abibaby1000]

Clicked on this so fast it's embarrassing

[@SciFi2285]

One difference between recent slave movies and the old ones from the 1970s is the casting of the slave owners. Producers used to cast the ugliest no-name white actors they can find in these roles. Now we have Leonardo Di Caprio, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Michael Fassbender, Alex Pettyfer, Armie Hammer, and other well known actors. Which does seem to change how audiences react to the horrors being depicted. We "know" these guys.

[@amadodabeast]

I like your guys reviews and all, they are entertaining, interesting, and funny to watch, but at the same time, i tend to have some sort of distaste in these type of reviews nowadays, where there's always something about racism and discrimination against black people in U.S. History. It tends to get repetitive, in that, while blacks are constantly brought up in media and history, there are other minorities, e.g. Mexicans and Native Americans, that are not brought up enough in history that were discriminated in American history as well. Though there weren't mexicans in the American Revolution and Civil War as far as i can tell, they are also discriminated during the 1960s. There were also Native Americans that were discriminated and beaten horrendously as well. Point being, I hope to see more movies where other minorities are spoken about as well, besides Black people all the time, in hopes of getting your guys fair point of view in those people as well.

[@marcusscott4980]

The same for Jews in the Holocaust. We need more like that and there is something I wish Hollywood would do movies on white slavery.

[@EdwardSanchezProductions]

Today guys is my birthday and this the best video to celebrate my birthday

[@Hybriddecline]

Yanno, happy birthday man

[@Hafsol65]

Damn Korey practically predicated Antebellum towards the end there

[@melaninawakening9350]

Actually Intolerance wasnt necessarily an apology because he did feel like he had nothing to apologize for.

[@Anthonycheesman33]

his beard deserves an Oscar lol

[@simplebidnessman]

Korey Goodwin looks better with his beard cut short.

[@spaceboy2095]

So many "black" movies are going to compete for the Oscars this year : Fences, The Birth of a Nation, Hidden Figures and Loving. Loving is my personal favorite. It has the only trailer ever that had me crying...

[@davedoc80]

Korey's idea of a black version of Project Almanac and they go early 19th century south is brilliant

[@MidTierVillain]

I can't wait to see this film, I was always curious if or when they were going to make a film on Nat Turner.. especially a well directed film. I'm even more anxious due to how unapologetic this film seems to be.. it's history, and I'm not going to watch it with intentions to hate anybody, but to embrace the film as a great piece of cinema history- hopefully. I can understand the fact some white people will be bothered by this, and even argue how it's not worthwhile or "white people are evil" movie- but, that's not my issue or my worry. It's a film.

[@Ahiru77]

Very funny and sincere review. Often you guys keep everything in perspective.

[@lukehuntley3933]

I had to look at the title like 3 times to make sure I wasn't misreading it. Like, woooh holy shit! They're gonna review this!? daaaaaamn

[@btggtv4881]

Movie had the truth in it IYKYK

[@thedefinitionisthis]

Yo, where can I get that Ali-SF t-shirt K.Goodwin is rocking?

[@callum4450]

I just hate how they made Nat Turner a hero, when it was much more complicated than that. The man did some horrible things.

[@callum4450]

Sung Ra No shit. Does that make this disaster of a film ok? No.

[@callum4450]

Tiffany Vilese He literally admitted to killing women and children because they were white. You fucking idiot.

[@conphzhi]

exactly, the world is always grey.

[@callum4450]

Tiffany Vilese From multiple sources on the internet, and a bachelors degree in American History.. Who actually deserves the title hero in history? Julius Caesar, Octavian, Alexander the Great, Peter the Great, Charles Martel, Frederick the Great, Leonidas I ,Godfrey of Bouillon, Richard the Lionheart, Saladin, Balian d'Ibelin, Bohemond I, Tancred of Galilee, Constantine the Great, Mark Anthony, etc. There are so much more people in history deserving of the title hero than Nat Turner.

[@a.p.5342]

Yolo Swaggins I agree, I mean yeah we get he might have believed what he did was the right thing, but those children and innocent women didn't deserve that. If anybody did, it was the people who kept them and would abuse them. But then again, no one deserves death.

[@zillauniverse7208]

I think Korey Just predicted Antebellum in this review 😂 24:10

[@antonydrossos5719]

Korey shouldn't feel like he had to apologize for enjoying seeing Nat Turner spark the revolution. Anyone that would accuse him of being racist isn't his friend. Shite, back when I bought the biography, I lent it out to EVERYBODY to read (and even got it back!) !

[@johnhendricks8140]

People are comfortable watching films on revolutionary war movies, and Brave Heart but people will feel uncomfortable watching black people having a revolution against their oppressors.

[@NERDSoul]

I feel this was an opportunity to get a review from 'us' to be able to ignore all of the other things that mass media would not and JUST talk about the film. Just Nat Turner. ONLY what he meant to black people and what he represents and what this movie represents. Instead we get a lot of jokes and giggling which I understand is the platform but I hoping similar to a few other times with serious issues that the team would tackle what this film means to not only black people today but what his legacy means to the spirit of the American Struggle.

[@artisowens2562]

First guys, huge fan of the show, but with all these "race" movies coming up as of late i would like to get your opinion on something that was brought to my attention earlier this year (ironically enough, during black history month) possibly one of this countries best kept secrets which could be one of the REAL reasons for the fear of "us" in this country. The real reason that slavery ended here, The Gullah Wars also referred to as the 100 year war in history books. (not the civil war, like we were lead to believe). Look it up it might be something that you might want to talk about on your show!? I feel that this movie and that Free State of Jones movie might be touching on but not giving credit to what actually happened? idk, what are your thoughts?
