THOUGHTS ABOUT NATE PARKER'S "THE BIRTH OF A NATION."

THOUGHTS ABOUT “THE BIRTH OF A NATION” – see Nate Parker’s film, Please Share I saw the film yesterday and it gave a visual reinforcement to what I already knew about Nat Turner – it gave me a real life context, something I could see, touch and feel. The film medium is a potent tool that leaves a visceral and indelible imprint in one’s mind; that’s why any story teller, any historian, any propagandist, any politician, any dictator, strives to get their work in film. See the film, despite what a critique or a friend says: even if you don’t like Nate Parker, see the film; no matter your religious faith, see the film; no matter your political persuasion, see the film; no matter your sexual preference, see the film; no matter that you’re not black, see the film. If you are black you shouldn’t need a reason to see the film – you should see the film because it’s about a significant event in black life in the history of this country. Am I saying you should see “The Birth of a Nation” simply because it’s about black life written by a black man? YES! That’s exactly what I’m saying. See Nate Parker’s, “THE BIRTH OF A NATION.” Do it today. BOOKS /ACTING CREDITS ON MY WEB SITE – please share http://www.adolphusward.net
