Review of The Birth of a Nation (2016) by 3Ebfan511 — 23 Feb 2017
Mediocre film that had potential. Basically the directing and storytelling were just sub-par and left the film a bit slow and boring (I fell asleep at least once and had to finish watching it again.) A better director could have actually made this film into something Oscar worthy, but.
..that it is not. It has many shot selections that are out of a lifetime movie, and even worse...Nate Parker added in events that did NOT actually happen that portray his character in a more favorable light and then leaves OUT aspects that would make his character look "worse".
..even though it is...the truth. Seems like the conduct of a guy who is a rapist who discards the truth for the convenience of whatever it is he is seeking. Sub-par film, made by an even worse, and creepier human being.
Overall, not very good, and mostly ruined potential.
