Was the movie being in Black & White supposed to make it edgier? I recommend watching :asterisk_symbol::asterisk_symbol:Django Unchained (2012):asterisk_symbol::asterisk_symbol:, instead of wasting 2 hours watching Will Smith overacting here. :rofl:

There's better slave movies out there.

Who thought black and white was a good choice... lol... turned that trash off

Wow! I LOVED IT! For once a movie about enslaved people where we don’t have to sit through torture and brutality. We all know those atrocities happened of course but the director is able to get his point across without being super in your face about it. It had me on the edge of my seat all the way through. I was all in on this journey and praying for him because I was so invested. The director was superb the acting by Will Smith in this movie is the best of his career. If the academy chooses to snub him, anyone who actually saw this movie (with an open mind and without bias against Smith), will know that it was just politics because this movie deserves to be nominated & probably win for Best Picture, Best Director AND Best Actor BRAVO to Apple TV+, Antoine Fuqua and Will Smith. Great work. You deserve all the awards!

Thrilling historical war drama about an enslaved man who escapes from his captors only to be chased and hunted through the forest and swamp. He must survive in order to return to his family. Will Smith gives a superb performance. My biggest praise is it's cinematography it looks excellent from the unique coloring, the set, costumes and the way it was filmed. It's around 70% black & white and 30% colors it just depends on the scenes and some characters are colored and others aren't. It felt weird in the beginning but I got used to it quickly and it gives a unique style to the film. The runtime felt overlong a lot could of been cut out but I was captivated the whole time and was never bored. I wish it got more emotional overall. The alligator scene was so cool and the war sequences in the third act looked gorgeous.
