It is dangerous to overly highlight the film as 'historically incorrect' for people (especially future born Africans in America) might begin to misinterpret or disregard African history all together,
1. Its dangerous to allow historical distortions to go unchallenged.
2. People should be respectful of history and not distort it.
3. Future born Africans will have every opportunity to check the record.
4. Refusal to check the record because historians challenge a film is idiotic. People like this deserve no sympathy.
it's bad enough the white/European has purposely kept African history hidden for centuries, constantly changing the narrative to fit his agenda.
1. Defending Nate Parker for changing the events/narrative of the rebellion makes you a hypocrite.
2. Only fools expect white Europeans or anyone to do anything for black Americans. Do for yourself.
The opinion you have concerning the film as incorrect is not only false but misleading, yes the nitpicks you mentioned about the depiction of Nat's life is true
1. The "nitpicks" don't claim the depiction is true. They argue certain things are true & others are patently false.
2. You didn't read 3 books, a review & a 60 min. interview in a day to judge the facts (not opinion) I cite.
3. A half-truth is a falsehood.
4. Nitpicking means attacking insignificant details.
5. The basis of the rebellion and the events leading to it are not insignificant events.
6. Parker changes the basis of the rebellion, removes/adds events such as fictional forced ministerial preaching.
7. The true event had an impact. Changing the reality changes the impact & what was/can be learned from it.
but to claim that the film as a whole is 'historically incorrect' only caters to white Americans who love to discredit any work concerning the issue of race as a farce.
1. Had Parker not embellished, historians would support/reinforce the film. Parker's to blame. You too.
2. If you think analyzing inaccuracy caters to whites, unchallenged myths cater to blacks by definition.
3. The intellectual legitimacy of your advocacy of black history and empowerment are a farce.
4. Try not to debase yourself any further.

The problem is not the film, for you it is Nate Parker. I love how you try to compare the creative choices of Nate with the centuries of blatant lies by white/Europeans concerning African history, if that's what makes me a hypocrite then so be it, let me continue debasing myself into oblivion.

I could care less about Nate Parker. But if you think so, fine. Its still a bad film from a storytelling point of view as well as a historical one.
I love how you try to compare the creative choices of Nate with the centuries of blatant lies by white/Europeans concerning African history,
I'm glad you love it. Telling lies about history has the same impact regardless of who's telling the lie.
if that's what makes me a hypocrite then so be it,
Thanks for admitting your hypocrisy. On that basis, your opinions are ignorant, irrelevant, invalidated and to be ignored.
let me continue debasing myself into oblivion.
Then disappear. Take your idiocy along with you. It won't be missed, especially since it means nothing, changes nothing and helps nobody least of all yourself.
