The heartbreaking new poster for director Nate Parker's Birth of a Nation continues the theme of powerful historical images for the movie's marketing campaign.
The image sees Parker's character, Nat Turner, being hung by a noose made out of the American flag.
“Resistance lives in the air in this current moment,” Parker explained. “Anyone who sees this film should leave the theater and feel compelled to be a change factor with respect to relations that are taking place in this country.”

Jews have rebounded every time they've gotten rekt because they focus on succeeding in life through work, plus they always have each other's backs. Meanwhile black men are the biggest threat to black men, statistically speaking

No, just using the title ironically for an entirely unrelated movie about John Brown's slave rebellion.
John Gonzalez
Sorry user, it's a white person film, you're expected to have the mental capacity to process multiple hours of narrative.
Kayden Bennett
This is literally more than a century old, you aggressive retard. It's "big budget" is not even a 100th of The Dark Knight's
Hudson Long
i only watch kino thats 90 minutes or less. no long pleb shit
Adrian Cooper
Just wait until Hillary is elected and we have a Janet Reno day
Hudson Cook
Sorry, Nate Turner's slave rebellion. Whatever, it's a black chimp out movie is the point.
Jaxon Brooks
They also killed women and children who were hiding. Do you think they're going to show that?
Jack Baker
yeah they're taking it back
Whitey cucked again
Lucas Taylor
>It's "big budget" is not even a 100th of The Dark Knight's
I don't think the amount of money spent on the dark knight movie even existed in that time period user, that's not really a fair comparison. You have to adjust for inflation and shit.
Carter Murphy
Sounds like exclusively watch pleb shit 2bh

Holy shit I forgot about that collectivist cunt.

Just let it go, less than 1% of people in america at the time even owned slaves.

He had to go back.

Xavier Foster
This is pure kino, don't fucking @ me.
Kevin Price
100,000 dollars in 1915 adjusted for inflation is about 2,000,000 dollars in 2016. The Dark Knight had a budget of 185,000,000 dollars--Birth of a Nation wasn't even big-budget for its time, let alone 2016. It just was insanely popular and made tens of millions of dollars
Hudson Collins
white ppl so upset lmao i love it
Isaiah Young
Why is Sup Forums so upset over this?
Jose Davis
I hope so, it will show that rebellion or revolution isn't necessarily black or white. Women and children don't suddenly disappear to magical women and children land during conflicts.
Daniel Watson
Sup Forums is populated by serious cinephiles who consider the D.W. Griffith to be one of the most significant and creative filmmakers in history. We're all deeply concerned that this film will not live up his virtually perfect filmography, which we've studied quite extensively and discuss frequently
Liam Smith
Too bad. Your ancestors virtues are your future undoing. The Arabs were smart enough to castrate and kill their slaves while the Americans laid down their lives to end slavery worldwide. The cracks are already showing with whites themselves displaying a self-hating complex.
Isaiah Price
This is mostly true.
Colton Thomas
And white racism is still alive and well even after this. Just watch this documentary based on real events:
>doesn't show Arab slave trade >doesn't show what blacks do to other blacks >let's make movies to make you hate white people from 200 years ago
Ryan Lee
Wew lad, the tribe is really going all out next summer.
They weren't even that many anti-black movies in 1916 as much as anti-white movies in 2016.
Owen Nguyen
People who know the story (read a fucking history book) knows how this plays out.
>Turner is a slave >has a vision from God >decides to lead a rebellion against slave owners >kills something like 50-60 whites >is eventually captured and hung Of course slaves saw him as a hero. While white people saw him as a bucher.
Michael Turner
>slave owners >innocent >raped and murdered slaves with no remorse >innocent
Turner also spared poor white people during their rampage. They didn't own slaves and we're seen lower then normal whites.
Joshua Jackson

Jackson Gonzalez
wtf, I hate niggers now
Daniel Diaz
This movie is fucking retarded. This is entirely racebaiting nonsense intended to further racial tension. It's not even about the birth of a nation, something which its namesake was about. The entire event was just a small and relatively pointless riot which served to accomplish nothing aside from the murder of civilians. I wish they had made this movie about the Haitian Revolution, which truly could be considered the birth of a nation, and actually was a somewhat relevant event in history. An uprising which involved tactic, wit, and perseverance.
Robert Thompson
>the 1% of the white population is representative of all whites
Nicholas Nelson

I guess better late than never...
Xavier King

Kevin Torres
and the academy award for best picture goes to.....
Joshua Davis
>This will go over well with the non-cuck crowd
so about 5-10% of US whites?
Jason Johnson
>An uprising which involved tactic, wit, and perseverance.
And now they're a 3rd world eating mud cakes. Let the state of every post-colonial african country be a lesson to self-righteous niggers everywhere. You need whitey to function.
Joshua Sanders
Non american here. Is this slavery thing being blown out of proportions? I read that less than 5% of the entire US population at the time had slaves. But when I see a movie about that period of US history it makes it look like the entire country was a racist cesspool.
Thomas Brooks
but whitey is the devil #blacklivesmatter nigga kill all crackers
Hunter Bennett
Just saying man, they beat the whites before. Take that as you will. >hurr they're 3rd world now It wasn't even about that. I'm just making a point to say that, if they're going to use that title, at least make it accurate.
Ryder Rogers
You underestimate how many white men are conservative. I would say that the majority are, although at least 40% of them are cucks.
It's the women that are all white guilt ridden SJWs
Ryan Howard
You're just being an ignorant racist, remember the six million slaves who died during the civil war.
Isaiah Smith
FACT: every black man in america is STILL a slave, retweet for our brothas in chains.
Jaxon Wood
Mostly rich southerners owned slaves, they weren't cheap to own. Slavery was outlawed in the north.
Jayden Turner
>Hispanic
Hispanic is not a race
Brown mesizto mexican indians weren't even consider hispanic until the 70s.
If you call brown indian Mestizos hispanic then you are falling for the kike meme for white people to be against the original hispanics like spaniards
Connor Gutierrez
isn't this movie about an historical event? what are you all so mad about?
Adrian Martinez
From kings to slaves, shaking my head to be honest family.
Chase Clark
I don't get how this is their argument. They have every opportunity possible
Julian Martinez
Sup Forums gets butthurt over movies that are "white guilt". But yeah, this movie is based off a true story.
Alexander Phillips
>what are you all so mad about? Depends on who you ask. As for myself, see As for the virgins, see any post that uses the word "nigger" Example: REEE I hate blacks for being black
a historical event that included murdering children.
Jackson Sullivan
they have silenced us for now, but we will RISE UP and destroy the EVIL DOGS.
Gabriel Smith
If you're a poor black person (like a significant portion of the black population) who also happens to look and talk like a poor black person, a good number of people are going to assume that you're a criminal/dangerous/unintelligent/etc.
Jacob Green
Imagine people of the future living in a time where they don't have give recognition to the fallout of Hitler or slavery.
>poor niggers aren't criminals never go full retard user
Christian Murphy
Libshits still go back to the Crusades to justify what muslims do today.
Leftists will never move on.
David Evans
Isn't nat turner the porn guy?
John Peterson
It's giving itself more importance by appealing to the current sociopolitical climate of BLACK LIVES MATTER, when Black Americans are their own worst enemy from a statiscal standpoint which, for some reason, is never shown on mainstream news outlets (hint: most news outlets are liberal self righteous shitholes, and any that are not exist simply as a contrarian foil to the former).
It stole the title of a great and important film in history in a sort of reclamation process for blacks and is skewing that perception to meet the current political agenda of indignantly misinformed leftist cuckoldry for a problem that is indeed systemic, but mostly due to their own communities and self treatment of themselves therein, rather than whitey keeping them down.
But the real reason I'm going to be mad is the /his/fag in me is going to see that they are going to treat him as some kind of savior, when all he did was incite a riot that got him and a bunch of innocent civilians killed and worsened race relations. Oh, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the birth of a nation, it's just taking white nationalist propaganda (albeit important white nationalist propaganda in the history of film) and making it black propaganda instead.
Robert Murphy
I've never seen anyone say that Islamic terrorism is justified because of what Christians did during the crusades.
Jack Edwards
>Birth of a Nation wasn't even big-budget for its time Name a movie with a bigger budget from 1916. Go on, I'm waiting.
Jack Clark
Knowing that this exists bothers me. Has anybody in this thread actually seen Birth of A Nation? It's not white nationalist propaganda bix nood kill blackey, it's about the civil war. D.W. Griffith's views look incredibly outdated by today's standards but for the time he was on the cutting edge of progressiveness. He hired actual black people to be in his movie in minor parts and went out of his way to show that they're just people like everyone else in the movie and that circumstances were driving the country to violence.
Griffith's movie could honestly do a lot more good than this crap for America right now. Griffith made a movie about fraternity and tolerance but this movie feels like a deliberate attempt to divide and aggravate people.
And that's not even to mention that Birth of A Nation is easily one of the best movies ever made. Even now it's impressive. This on the other hand looks uninspired as all hell.
Matthew Stewart
