The Birth of a Nation [DVD] [2016]

This movie was truly amazing! Very well done and watching it on a 75 inch screen in blu ray was a definite plus. A must see film!!

The Birth of a Nation [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [2016] IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF THE YEAR.

Really good film. The talent on display from the lead actor/director is impressive. Worth a watch for sure. This story about Nat Turner’s life was gripping.

If you have problems with the Nat Turner story then you're not going to like this one. That's a different debate on its own, but this movie does great justice to that famous rebellion. The acting is on point here, and the story puts you in a bit of a false place of security before reminding you of how horrid things were for slaves, and it really makes it sweeter when they get their revenge. This is why this one is easier to watch on repeat viewings than something like 12 Years a Slave. That movie was great too, but at least here there is some kind of comeuppance for the characters that you hate.

This movie tells a part of U.S. history that many are uncomfortable with, slavery. It will no doubt anger you with how African americans were treated by European americans. I won't spoil the story so i will say the acting is great, the directing by Nate Parker is very good and the cinematography & music is great as well. The story of Nat Turner is important and should be seen...

Purchased to watch for a report in a American studies course - this movie is GRITTY and you'll definitely cringe! But the movie evokes emotions and makes you think.

Those of us who have earnestly studied history, this event in American history has always been a fascinating turning point in the history of slavery in the US. So, watching it portrayed on the big screen, even with the condensed time line, drove home the importance of this film for all Americans to see. This event was the motivation for the beginning of the most restrictive ordinances to exercise absolute control of African American slaves that later were revived to be the base of the Jim Crow laws of the post civil war. The film gives us a vivid look into the life on a plantation, not unlike 12 Years a Slave, which was one of privation and often of sadistic degradation. On a different line, I was overjoyed that this production took the title it did and reclaimed something from a period of our history that was very dark and a film that was nothing more than propaganda for the KKK.

A great movie that highlight a time in American History , Its great when a movie can truly show us how much america has changed over the years. I highly recommend
