I can't believe the named it the same thing as a pro-KKK propaganda flick from a century prior. As for the controversy, I think a lot of that might be due to when it came out. There's a lot of people going out of their way to rekindle the racism that was once dying out in the US. If this movie had come out 10 years earlier, before the attempted resurrection of casual and overt bigotry, it would've probably would've been been received much better, such as how Glory was in its day.... Oh, and if you haven't seen Glory, I highly recommend it. It's about one of the military units serving during the civil war and the racism of the era, including from their own military. There are some inaccuracies, of course(one of which an entire scene hinges on), but the general history is solid-enough.

If they hadn't been purchased by the white man, their black captors in Africa would have killed them. But the blacks didn't have any gratitude for the whites who saved them and refused to work most of the time, to do even simple things like picking cotton. Blacks today make it like it was so harsh. "Ooooh! The cotton weighs 2 ounces. It's too heavy for me to lift!".

I'll tell more specifically after seeing the movie, but at this point I really doubt it's history, most likely it's a heavy sugar-coating of an actual event.

If it were for the people, why do these artist keep all the money? These things are products, and it's an outright fact that Hollywood has manipulated audiences for profits and benefits from racial division. Less than 5,000 recorded lynchings in history and you've SHOT COUNTLESS MORE OF EACH OTHER since then. Where's the constant genre push of that little tidbit? If it's about healing, maybe you should appeal to each other to stop the killing, not keep 150 year old wounds VERY fresh in the minds of each new generation. Of course the world of film has a right to tell a powerful story that resonate throughout history, but the pattern is way too transparent after all these years. No one benefits more from racism than Hollywood.

This looks like a fantastic movie. However I see a lot of ridiculous hate in these comments from many different sides... We never should drown history, and we should always be skeptical as to what lens you are learning it from. Growing up (at least in my region of the Northwest) I was very lucky to have great teachers who taught us to the best of their abilities what REALLY happened. But that is not enough, we need to encourage our children to read for themselves and spend their own time learning... I wish I had more time to write but at the moment I do not. I will just end this by saying please... Please do not be just another wedge of division among human beings which every one of us is. Humanity is far more complex than "black people did this" white people did that" "but they did that and this and blah bah". Learn the history and use it to make the future more united, not to fill your heart with hatred.

[@YukonCorneliusMJH]

As a US History major I need to just say that THIS was the nastiest part of our history... 100s of years of pure tragedy, slavery is what tore us apart but it was also what brought us together... there's no arguing against it. But in the midst of all the hate, turmoil, and utter devastation... we stand here now, United and stronger than ever! God Bless America. United We Stand.

This honestly put tears in my eyes. Why do black people have to fight to be respected like people, when they are the most beautiful people? I don’t understand. Black people are dedicated they are smart loving helpful and so family oriented. And deserve every ounce of respect that anyone gets. I’m not black but my heart loves my brothers and sisters of African decent and always will. I teach my kids to do the same!

"black people are the most beautiful people", if this is true, then why do blk men always want to upgrade and marry white women when they become successful? Think carefully before you answer.

[@DevvGaming101]

@@doberman2yk Success is subjective and not all blk men who obtained money run to marry white women. Those who do are part of an industry that believes if you look the part you can further advance your career. There’s 100 of thousands who of blk men and women who refuse to follow that doctrine. My question is if you have disdain for blk folk then why are you here? I’m sure it’s a school,church or grocery store you inflict your hatred upon.

I wish more people would take the blockers off of their eyes and open them up to the bigger picture. This original film came out in what? 1915? And it was sickening. Can't wait to see this side.

For all of you who don't know. This was the original birth of a nation from 1915 www.newyorker.com/culture/richard-brody/the-worst-thing-about-birth-of-a-nation-is-how-good-it-is

[@kakamaru5]

+Jakob Will you do know the title was on purpose right?

[@TheNewNationPodcast]

ya think?

[@ItsDylDoe]

General consensus on the original: As a film, it revolutionized the industry and helped made it what it is today. The themes displayed, however, are overall racist/outdated.

[@MasterBDG701]

But why? They could have gone with any other title and they chose the worst one. That's like if a Jewish empowerment film was named The Triumph of the Will. It works as an effective title but we all know why we never used it twice.

[@humanp4th]

+MasterBDG701 agree, they are trying to use it as an empowering and triumphant, "look where we are today" title but it will turn people off being named after the most effective piece of white supremacy propaganda in history.

I'm tired of people painting blacks to be bad people. we fought hard. show me a white man that can say his family survived slavery. they became educated. they didn't need 40 arces and a mule. they didn't need to hide behind a badge either.

[@p8studios797]

Honestly I don't get why we are still treating slavery as a relevant topic. Obviously learning about it is important and should be necessary, but pushing the subject this hard just seems silly. And if these comments are anything to go by, it's just pushing the races in America further apart when we should be coming together. By this point in time, no person alive has experienced slavery, and it would be best for us as a nation to simply move past it and look to what we can do to better the present, instead of trying to retroactively "fix" the past.

[@gamacios7956]

In that case we should just get rid of thousands of movies made about history

[@p8studios797]

+James Carter the thing is, this movie is highly inflammatory and being used to push an agenda, whether that was the directors intention or not. For a movie like saving private ryan, it was meant to showcase a pivotal moment in history more than anything else. I'm not too sure that this movie is trying to be unbiased in its portrayal of history, as they are presenting it to be completely black and white (no pun intended)

[@p8studios797]

+Gamacios rarely is there a topic as divisive as slavery. The US went to war over it, and now commenters are going to war in the comments over it. The point is, slavery is over and nothing good can come from re-opening the wound with every new movie showcasing it.
