I had been pretty curious early in the year, though I have to admit the preview with its Gangs of NY-style showdown made me a little nervous. From what I've read of the reviews, it sounds like you might be right. I'm sure I'll see it at some point on video; I am still curious how he tackled the subject. Sadly, the bold title choice might have been the best thing about the movie in the end. I missed your review but will look for it now; the discussion surrounding the film still interests me.Joel Bockohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610074516299275060.post-42271665900618839502016-11-16T00:27:39.259-05:002016-11-16T00:27:39.259-05:00Did you ever get around to watching it?

Can we expect a post on the movie anytime soon?<br /><br />I don't know if you read my personal review on it, but I was really disappointed with The Birth of a Nation and the more I think back on it, the more I actually find myself disliking Parker's movie. I'm curious what you're thoughts are, but it didn't seem anywhere near incendiary enough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
