    5.0 out of 5 stars I am so glad this story was told.
    Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    Hollywood traditionally romanticizes the stories of people who fight for justice, the underdog who struggles against all odds, the rebel with a cause, that is until the story is about people held in chattle slavery. When the stories of enslaved people are told they most often depict the enslaved as content or even happy, as though being owned, forced to work for free and subjected to terrorism on a daily basis somehow wasn't such a bad thing. History teaches us very little about African Americans who fought for freedom from the institution of slavery. Even today, some people are banning books that spotlight these heroes and are fighting to keep this history from being taught in schools. For this reason alone "Birth of a Nation" is important.

    Nat Turner has long been a fascination of mine. I used to wonder why no one just refused to pick cotton and refused to work for free. Didn't anyone "just say no?" Nat Turner was the first enslaved person I heard of who fought against being enslaved and immediately I wanted to know more but there weren't any mentions of Nat Turner in textbooks when I was in school so I went digging for information in libraries built by people who either had never heard of him or chose to omit him altogether (My search started before the creation of the internet. Yes I'm old). I would learn that Nat Turner was one of many men who organized and staged revolts against the people holding them against their will and I was inspired. I would even say that I was empowered. Knowing that men who look like me and are from where I am from fought for self-determination and independence instills pride in a young man, and this feeling of pride is one of the things the current move against teaching this history hopes to eradicate.

    When Nate Parker was promoting this movie many media outlets chose to talk about him and his days in college. They dug into his personal history until they went back far enough to find something unsavory, then they redirected the narrative away from the film and focused on creating a scandal. Parker and his directorial debut were being canceled and many people went along with it.

    Hollywood has made over 100 movies about African Americans facing slavery, racism and segregation. Time and time again their movies ignore our greatness, promote our struggles and profit from our pain. Nate Parker ignored the rules and paid a price. There are some powerful interests at work hoping no one supports Nate Parker or sees this film, but I just did both and I'm very happy.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A nice shift in the narrative on American Slavery in the U.S.
    Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2024

    I found the movie enjoyable and a nice shift from what is usually depicted regarding movies that deal with America's slavery past. I can't think of any other movie that delve into Nat Turner and his rebellion, so finding this movie directed by Nate Parker was great. I also enjoyed how Nate Parker with this movie challenged the narrative of how cinema approaches films that deal with American slavery as this was not a slave movie with the usual tropes, but something different.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Un film puissant !
    Reviewed in France on June 27, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    J'ai acheté ce film après l'avoir préalablement vu sur Canal +, l'an passé. Je tenais à l'ajouter à ma collection de DVD car c'est probablement l'une des meilleures réalisations cinématographiques relatives au douloureux problème de l'esclavage et de la manière dont les esclaves Noirs étaient perçus et traités dans les plantations américaines. Bien qu'il porte sur une révolte brève (48 heures), vite réprimée - et avec quelle monstrueuse férocité ! -, ce film démontre, si besoin en était, que les esclaves ne se contentaient pas de subir leur sort dans une tragique résignation, mais qu'ils étaient également en mesure de constituer une force d'opposition qui, avec davantage de préparation que celle des malheureux mis en scène dans ce film, pouvaient faire flancher le pouvoir des oppresseurs esclavagistes. Même si le destin des révoltés reste tragique, leur courage - porté par une désespérance absolue - impose un respect absolu. Le fait que le meneur de cette révolte soit un prêcheur, dont la pensée contestataire se nourrit des textes évangéliques par lesquels, au départ, les propriétaires Blancs tentaient de légitimer l'amoralité de l'esclavage constitue un très bel exemple d'ironie lexicale et de retournement du "Verbe" contre ceux qui en faisaient un usage totalement perverti. Comme le dit le protagoniste de cette histoire : "Dieu est Amour mais il est aussi Colère". En outre, le film offre une dimension documentaire en démontrant avec quelle brutalité - ou même cruauté - certains propriétaires de plantations (mal)traitaient celles et ceux qui garantissaient leur prospérité, tant économique que domestique. Un film à faire voir à toute personne désireuse de savoir ce qu'impliquait concrètement l'esclavage, non seulement aux Etats-Unis d'Amérique mais aussi (par extension) partout où l'esclavage était pratiqué, à cette époque comme aux époques antérieures et sur d'autres territoires (voir par exemple l'excellent docu-fiction "Bois d'ébène" qui, lui, explique ce qui se passait dans les colonies françaises d'outre-mer à peu près à la même période).

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nat Turner un héros et visionnaire méconnu
    Reviewed in France on February 10, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    Magnifique, un bel exemple de bravoure, de courage dans ce monde d'alors dominé par l'esclavagisme dans le sud des Etats-Unis rompu à l'exploitation humaine, une folle et douloureuse aventure humaine, tout esclave qu'il était Nat Turner démontre avec force convictions et une foi inébranlable que rien ne peut entraver la détermination d'un homme pour acquérir sa liberté. Des hommes et des femmes déracinés de leur terre natale et déshumanisés qui réduits aux affres de l'esclavage souffriront le martyr, il faudra cependant encore attendre la fin de la guerre de Sécession pour que cesse cette ignominie et que l'être humain ne vive plus cette horreur sans nom. Nat Turner est l'exemple même que rien n'est impossible à qui veut.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A deep study of the corruption of American slavery
    Reviewed in Canada on August 4, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    I wasn't interested in this film until I happened to catch a preview. The acting is compelling, and the characters (on "both sides") are well-drawn and sympathetic. I honestly hadn't planned to watch it all the way through in one sitting, but got hooked quickly, and couldn't stop until the story was told. While it's very much a tragic story, it's very informative as to why American slavery was so deeply corrupted an institution. Clearly Nat Turner was a good man who did what he believed he had to do. His motivation could not possibly be misunderstood, and was very much about higher principles. Much more than a story of revenge --- a story about what it means to be human, and to stay human.
