This film was a MASTERPIECE I saw it yesterday and ooooweeee, loved it.
I think the ending was stating that no matter what we do, we are still nigga
@@vavavogue4070 I think it was saying White and Blue ppl will nvr learn. That documentary needed to go out to the public...spoiler ahead below
....bef ore he le ft the bui lding al ive
Spoiler Alert 🚨 Now y’all know they will let zombies, aliens, and all types of ghouls kill police in movies but not black people - that’s crossing the line 🤔
Exactly!!
I notice Nate Parker like to go to the line and then pull back...... like birth of a nation
@Ladon Beats I agree, shit pissed me off!! And the cop who blow his head off won't get charged either, SMH!#
@Ladon Beats Exactlyyyyyyyyy sooooooooo disappointing... The only thing that made this movie NOT the greatest of all times was that click without anything coming out of it on the other side of his head
@@Justmy4cents Righttttttttt
I'll watch it because I like Nate Parker as a director and I want to support him the same way I supported "Birth of a Nation."
I hear ya
I'm glad you already know what's up. This is social programming at it's worse. I won't be watching another movie where a black man gets done wrong,does a whole lotta posturing and then ultimate turns the other cheek. It's emotional masturbation and I won't take part in it.
@@jeromejenkins1733 I understand that but in listening to his and other's reviews, there is no other way for a film like this to end. I was wary of wanting to watch it when I first heard about it because it falls squarely in the realm of "revenge fantasy". The closest movie that ever somewhat transcended that problem was "The Spook Who Sat By The Door" based on the book of the same name. That presented a system wide solution. But as soon as I heard the basic plot of "American Skin," that is was only about him seeking "justice" for his son against one officer I knew this was going to be racial revenge porn 🤷🏾♂️ Parker really doesn't have the big vision to make any other kind of film, this is very reactionary, not visionary 🤷🏾♂️
@@ajwalker4416 What did you think about it?
I saw the rotten tomatoes reviews .... I chuckled. A lot of people are already hating this movie. I will be watching.
I just watched it. I loved the dialogue and film over all. Very bold and well done. I appreciate this and understand why Hollywood wants to shut him up. I hope he keeps pushing the truth and opening peoples minds. I definitely felt spike Lee throughout the film.
the most hilarious thing is that nearly all of the bad reviews it got are from white people, white people are still not ready to confront reality, the reality black people have been living for hundreds of years.
I dont know how people can claim that "the critics are liberals" when they give positive reviews to inclusive movies, yet ignore when they start review bombing movies like these.
@@vanessamaldonado5877 I noticed that as well ! That's why I hurried up & created a profile to give it 10 stars !
Right!! I said the same shit , like yall see some real shit and rate it low but all the fake shit got 99 score and shit like you must not know how it is to be black in America just tryna live, so this movie don't hit you like it hit us , the movie was excellent, I put off watching it because Twitter kept spoiling the ending for me lol I just watched it and living in MN and seeing this shit unfold everyday with these dumb ass cops , this movie hit home hard
I'm not gonna watch this movie until I find out more about it. I have a feeling that
A. Nate's character will get killed
B. He'll get arrested
C. They'll be a "not all cops" ending
D. He'll sacrifice himself for a white person.
E. They'll be some sort of moral high ground, "we're not violent and animals like you" ending.
Basically, I think the ending will neuter the film as to not to make white audiences too uncomfortable. The ending I want is the ending a white hero would get at the end of a film like this.
Well say👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. That's intelligent and I will do the same
Well you can find that out by watching it.. all you’re saying is you’re not gonna watch it until you get more opinions to convince you not to watch it
Whelp you got 3
@@rainkid8807 Basically, and im sure he still watched it tho lol.
This is a stupid comment. Just watch the damn film
After I graduated in 2012 i was working at a middle school, I wore an white shirt one day.... I had some parents tell the principal I threatening and non approachable... So I started wearing shirts with cartoon characters and words etc... That was 2012 and im still doing that dumb shit and I dont even work for the school system anymore.
Dude I'm so sorry You went through that keep your head up sir
A white tee or dress shirt?
@@EMPOR5615 tee
Damn
Wow! I hate that you feel like you have to do that.
Make sure you guys support this film. Don't bootleg it, Have some damn pride!
Thank you. Somebody needs to say it.
Amen Amen Amen
I spent the $6.99
Spent the 6.99
@@Muziq1111 I’ll pass
Eagerly waiting to witness the return of the great Nate Parker to cinema
I did not like how it ended. Come on Nate, you know what black folks wanna see, satisfaction, and REVENGE. I don't care if other people don't like it, just as long as it satisfies us. The movie has its well acting emotional parts that each actor does pretty well. I just expected more violence and a different ending.
I feel you bro just like Birth of a Nation ending
Same
@@jaren2159 exactly. I literally just thought the same thing. Nat Turner was based in reality tho. This felt like another bait n switch tho. Smh
I felt the same way i understand why but it goes against his own words in the movie “why are we the only ones who expected to do everything without violence”
Wait so the cops won't die at the end? If not im not gunna buy it
When it comes to us it doesn't matter.
They don't like us if we have money.
They don't like us if we don't have money.
They just don't like us.
I like you?
Fact
To add to this thread why does it matter if anyone doesn’t like you? I’m white, and most of my friends are black, and whenever I meet a new black guy that hates white people I don’t let that bother me. I do me and if they come around then cool, and if they don’t that’s on them 😂🤷🏻♂️ I can’t imagine why or how I would let someone have power over me because they don’t like me. If what I’m doing is GOOD. Then it will resonate with good people. We are all created equal.. so what will you do with your freedom? Cry about the white man? Or secure your spot in a free and prospering society.
@@sapperjackson7132 I hear you!! I'm black...i don't care if I'm liked or not...I'm hated more by blacks than whites.
This movie needs an alternative ending
Bingo
definitely!!
Why? Because its honest and basically depicts real life ? The people in that room might have been moved and understood Link eventually(Nate Parker's character) but the people outside were still damaged shoot now ask questions later racist shits they've always been.
I think the ending was brilliant, it was not a fairy tale, it was American.
Life needs an alternative ending, that is what is glaringly obvious
@@aphiwokuhlemayongo3370So your reality is black man with guns taking over the police station to demand justice for the murder of one Black Teenager. The movie from the very beginning has me suspending my disbelief.
You’re reviews are always super sincere! Appreciate ya on this one like all the others 👌🏾
Thank you!
@@justmyopinion84
Greetings, will you make a video review of "One Night in Miami"?
@@camaradiop3731 yep
I watched it and "enjoyed" it. I was fighting back tears and was unsuccessful at times because I few tears escaped. I think most of the viewers knew the ending or final outcome in this film. Not because it was predictable, but based on what Black people has to deal with in reality. We can't get away with nothing, even when we are innocent.
I didn't know you could buck break women 😂
I think the ending demonstrates waking up to the harsh reality of the situation and stepping out of "wonder land". That's just what I took from it anyways.
Now I'm just waiting to see "Judas And The Black Messiah"
@BLM popping my corn for that now
Can wait to see it I'm going to order it Tonight
Edit: I just bought the film I liked it but not the "Taking the high road " e and the "Black scrafice" Ending but I have no problem supporting Nate
I can watch when it hit once of my channel free. I cant as a black man support that ending.
When you spill innocent blood you defile the land so the land requires the blood of the one who spilled it to undefile it.
Period
I've been waiting on this film for over a year. FINALLY...
Such a great film... I too was disappointed with the ending
I agree with u 💯, u & I both know what should have happen to those pigs.
@@mgosha6110 we all knew that was going to happen, what blk man gets to surrender 😤😤😤
@@raineyj560 SPOILERS BELOW
I really thought that there would be some kind of shootout at the end. Especially, since Omari's character was terminal. I would've rather seen Nate die fighting than die surrendering.
@@ThaRedPitbull now I’m wondering why they made his character sick... it was really pointless to me... I thought he would’ve picked up where Nate left off but oh well 😔
I was very disappointed with the ending. Its like he was doing the ending for WHITE PEOPLE!
I came to learn about this particular movie via Just My Opinion TH-cam channel (as a normal viewer - due to me being a movie fanatic). As a result, I waited until the “wee-hours” of the January 15, 2021 morning to purchase and view American Skin and I wasn’t disappointed with American Skin.
Nate Parker is so! underrated, I truly can say he is one the best in the business and we need to support him more and appreciate his talent especially when he deliver a powerful performance
Very good actor
American skin was in a league of it's own. Haven't seen a movie these great ever.
Movie is timely, tired of our sons, husbands, boyfriends, fathers, uncles, grandfathers, nephews, brothers and black women dying at the hands of law enforcement and they have qualified immunity. This is a mental health issue dealing with all these deaths without penalties. Middle class people stormed the capital ........ ponder that!!!!
The percentage of Unjustified shootings in America are so low that for the last 5 years 1,000 people per year are shot by police 14 are unarmed black men... 25 are unarmed white men. And 7,300 black on black homicides happen each year. If you want to make a movie to push a belief, at least do the research to know that police don’t actually hunt any race in any specific way, and to add to that quit listening to democratic nominees that focus %100 on racism just to get your vote, and then leave you out to fry..
Just a word from a 24 year old white deputy sheriff in the south.
@@sapperjackson7132 only 24, you haven't lived yet, your training has conditioned you and the skin you're in allows you to be this flippant. Quoting statistics don't mean sh*t when you as an officer is protected by qualified immunity and refuses to acknowledge and take action to change how you respond to non white people. Treat everyone the same from arrest to trial and consequences and then there won't be a need for a movie to express unified frustration.
@@carbro_320 okay keep playing the victim then... it’s been working out for the last 100 years 🤦♂️🙄
@@carbro_320 just do me a favor and don’t vote for your own enslavement. No it’s not physical anymore it’s financial democrats want to keep you down and asking for money from the Gov, you decide whether you want to make your own money, or let the white man give it to you. I’m 24 but I’ve met plenty of brothers who are doing fine and they all share the same trait.. they don’t believe they are owed anything in life.
@@sapperjackson7132 vote how you want, I've lived long enough to experience life and know what to do for my own good. Your name says sheep......hmmmmmmmm
This isn’t a movie.. it’s about real life for us.
#FACTS
I see what you meant by bringing down our expectations for the ending...damn how does a character go from micah Johnson to i forgive
Ight I'm not even gonna say what I feel because I don't wanna spoil it
Just watched it and it was deep. It was deep and that ending whoa! Watch it people.
The movie was cool, but the ending was a letdown! The trailer hyped it up so much that when the ending came I was disappointed!!
Facts
Had the ending been different, it would have been EPIC. He should have taken out the whole police station.
Great review and commentary. Keep up the great work.
Oh man after what happened at the capitol idk if I’m ready.
I cant emotionally take seeing another black child killed. After Travon Martin my heart hasnt been the same. I want to support but Ima need to ease into this. Nate Parker gas a way if really making things real to the viewer.
So he was like T'Challa in Civil War, and not take revenge in the end?
That's what it sounds like. Its what Many of us feared.
The movie needed a Killmonger character
@@complexblackness meanwhile they have "Law Abiding Citizen" where the father/husband took out judges, cops, prosecutors, and anybody else who help with the injustice of his family's murder.
But we gotta be the bigger person in movies all the damn time.
@@rockb922 Great point. Gerard was not going to stop!
@@rockb922
Damn u right, i remember that movie
The ending had me just jaw dropped
Powerful, must see! One of the best I've seen in my 64 years.
I love that you clipped in your reaction to the trailer it was hilarious. Great review as always
Dang ya’ll got me excited. Waiting for my days off to really engross myself into this film 🎞 !
If you don't like being punched in the face. Don't be a boxer
This was the GREATEST MOVIE I'VE SEEN SINCE 2020 TILL NOW !
Great review, thumbs up and I didn't skip the commercials lol
Just watched it and I got chills at the end a sobering and harsh reality....
This movie was truly inspiring just finished it
How was it inspiring?
This movie is a Micah Xavier Johnson documentary. Rest in power soldier.
Where can I watch this film @ tho!? I haven't seen any TV commercial trailers on cable. Ohhh! I CAN WATCH THIS NOW ON GOOGLE PLAY! Watching it right now! I love how he's having a trial in the precinct . W00000W! The ending was crazy! He didn't deserve that! GREAT FILM THO!
Amazon Prime
Speak On It Brotha, I love this review I'm looking forward to seeing this film!!! POWER TO OUR PEOPLE✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿💯
Just purchased it on Vudu, thanks for the review.
I don’t know if I want to pay $7 for a take the high road ending😒🤔
Edit: he is still trying to please others it seems, he does have a white wife so....
Nate does, wow??
Yeah, it was weak!
Get Out was better than this movie
No surprise that a lot of the major white media critics are giving the movie poor reviews! I will be watching it today 💪🏾
Probably because this movie is divisive and does nothing positive for the image of the black man.. whoever made this movie is full of hate and it shows.
Sure make a movie about a black man killing a bunch of cops and releasing criminals to enact “justice”
That will teach everyone that you’re not violent, or savages. 🤦♂️🙄 guys y’all need to filter out your media because it’s disgusting to watch how you use propaganda on yourselves just to make YOU look like the racists.
@@sapperjackson7132 smh
You know I feel Harlem Nights was one of Eddie's best picture. He wrote, actor, directed, and produced it. All the black Stars in there was unbelievable. White movie critics said it was his worst movie.I have to listen to black people reviews.
Just got finished watching. I could have watched it pirated, but I made sure I paid for it to support. It was GOOD. I expected the very ending. What were you referring to when you said A to C? I couldn't catch where they skipped in the story
I haven't decided yet if I want to watch this movie. My sister already forewarned me it caters to the "others." After Queen and Slim(the let down of that ending), I told myself I was done with the black trauma narrative. We have enough trauma in real-life. I wish more black writers would give us the narrative..."an eye for an eye." Would love to see it. This review was really good. I agree with everything you said 💯
Samuel= A time to kill
Venessa Bell= Saints & Sinners
Thanks for the honesty!!
Preach! Powerful review!
Here’s an idea for the second best ending of Nate Parkers American skin, Nate should’ve taken a page out of the movie Sugar Hill starring Wesley snipes. Here’s a hint Omari Hardwick‘s character. Remember everyone this is not a spoiler review page. Here is his link to his spoiler review of American skin th-cam.com/video/uBNwhrmz420/w-d-xo.html
I bought Birth of a Nation first chance I bought, I need 4k copies of his films
Yeah- the movie became a social commentary, basically all the convos on Twitter. it drove me crazy. I love Nate so l bought the film. Someone needs to do it better, we have countless years of conversations. Over and over and over and all we get is turn the other cheek gospel. The movie made me even angrier At this point l feel like we’re just to scared.
I just watched it and all I can say is damn! I purchased it, it’s heavy and I highly recommend it. I’d never heard of this film and I’m so glad I found it. DAMN! Powerful film start to finish
The movie to me really highlights the incredible amount of pain, rage, and sense of powerlessness and lack of justice that black families have to endure both internally and externally when losing a child/family member to police brutality. To witness your child being murdered ifo your eyes senselessly and unnecessarily, by someone who has taken an oath to serve and protect, has to be as painful an experience as one can feel. So I can totally get with Lincoln's wanting to take matters into his own hands to get the justice, and closure for himself, he feels his son didn't receive. I also like the idea of the documentary maker filming the events as they're happening, at the insistence of Lincoln, which lends a novel approach to the story. The other important part of this movie which I found fascinating was how white and black members of the jury, and overall, perceived the events and police brutality in general. Even after the confession by officer Randall that he couldn't really determine if Lincoln was speeding you still had members of the jury and fellow officers still not convinced of officer Randall's unjustified stop and poor judgement. Oh, just curious, I didn't see a review by you of SYLVIE'S LOVE which I absolutely loved.
I rented it on roku it was only 6.99 EASILY THE BEST 7$ I spent
Going to order it tonight. Will come back and watch your review afterwards.
This movie was so good I had to do a movie review on IG Live and I don't even be doin reviews. Nate parker remains undefeated.
Great review
B1
I’m torn. (Potential spoilers below)
This was spoiler free, but a couple things you said tipped me off that the ending won’t be what the trailer set up, so I don’t know if I want to support another “see how we are better than y’all/mercy at the end” story. We are at the point where a good cautionary tale of, “if y’all keep fckn with us, we gonna start fckn with you” ending is more warranted. I am going to have to think long and hard about financially supporting this one. I had really high hopes, but I sense I’ll be let down after watching this review...
I believe he can speak to one group. This was meant for us to understand our feelings.
I loved the movie! I know a lot of people are complaining about the ending..but I honestly think it couldn’t have ended any other way..Only two ways Linc was going out and that was dead or jail..Sadly... his life was taken as well..but I still throughly enjoyed the whole movie..beginning to end..Great review Brandon!.
I saw this video pop up n went to BUY this movie so fast. Im watching now n will come back for the review✊🏾
Thank you!
You never know what a family is willing to do to make things right for example linc had his people behind him but the message is you never know how a family retaliates it just takes the right one to find out .
I was so ANXIOUS watching this movie.
I felt the same as i did when i saw "a time to kill".....
I love your work. But your audio volume peeking to load. Turn down the gain a little.
Loved your review and EVERYTHING you had to say about racism.
My most anticipated film this year is the Fred Hampton movie but I made sure I bought this film... no renting.
This film was POWERFUL!! Make sure your friends and family see it!
Great timing for a film like this to release....
Amazing movie 9/10 it's easily one of my favourites so far this year i wish that either Netflix or Amazon picks this up cos this movie deserves to be seen by the worldwide audience just like in the documentary in the movie. It's especially relevant to today's news, this hit's even harder man 😎👊
Brandon how are you? i am a subscriber to your channel and i enjoy your reviews.
However, i find myself unable to watch alot of your reviews because of the duration.
If you can find a way to add as much detail as your do in your reviews but reduce the duration of the videos to maximize 10 - 12 minutes.
I would definitely watch your reviews more.
American skin 2 - the video is uploaded to all internet platforms
Nate's character wanted to tell the story to the world. This is US, violence and just us is the end scene.
I think I am one of the few that enjoyed the ending and like how it played
yeah you are
It was soooooo good
Loved of the review granted I think you might have you microphone is too loud or maybe muffled
Yeah, I'm so upset about the audio. By mistake I had the recording audio set to Max! SMDH! Didn't realize it until after and couldn't fix it. Sorry about that.
You pull the pin at the right time I thought the same thing
That's cool. Did you like the movie overall?
I have 2 view points about the ending. #1- I definitely would have wanted it to be a “life for a life” ending. Just my thoughts... #2- but now that I am taking a step back and trying to see the film from the director’s lens and trying to project his theme for the movie, I think that the cop should have stayed alive, but should have had a PHYSICAL and mental battle wound! I say this because due the climax of the movie, it seemed like the director was pushing the notion of “ making a change”. The 1 character even said how “ this cop needs to be made the example”. So yes, that cop is now able to live to tell the tale...... but he should have had a PHYSICAL reminder for ALL to know who he was! That physical reminder would have been the wake up call that both the system and people need to change. That was the reminder that if the FATHER of the victim gives the killer mercy, then it does show that all Blacks shouldn’t be depicted in a negative light. This suggestion reminds me of the movie “Trojan” when Achilles told Victor that he was going to hell with NO eyes, NO tongue, etc. because he wants the EVERYONE to know that “Hey this is Victor, the guy who thought he killed Achilles”. I’m paraphrasing but you get the gist. That’s how that cop’s wound should have been! EVERYONE was gonna say “ hey that’s the cop that helped break systematic racism!” While he lives with the guilt of killing an unarmed KID!!! Death was gonna be too easy for him.
Awesome review brother
I’m excited to see it but if I’m going to be honest if the hate you give didn’t do enough I don’t believe anything will Nate is great but I’ve realized for most people if it doesn’t effect you or your community then it’s just sad to them
u are a pro. u know ur ish! subbed.
The negotiator is CLASSIC and the real deal!
Good movie. The end of the movie made me upset but I understand why he ended that way. Severing in the military don't save you from racism. They can kill your children to.
Watch 5Times
Nuff Said👍🏿✊🏿🙌🏿
Where did u see this??? Amazon prime???
Check out the website. It's on a lot of platforms.
@@justmyopinion84 got it. Thanx!!!
Is the film online? I haven’t seen it! Where can I see it
Hey brother thanks. Also Shonda Rhimes Scandel also had a riviting scene about police brutality
Preach brother 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The movie was horrible. I expected so much from it just like you B. The dialogue did have a 12 Angry Men vibe but it was also very after school special with some of the conclusions drawn. I was expecting more Nat Turner and this was more like Clarence Thomas.
I don’t understand though what did you expect I’m confused 😂 I watched it I felt very satisfied idk what people expect when they say “I was expecting more” 🤦🏾♂️
Mr.parker, just thank you.
Nah, I definitely knew it was going to end the way it did. So I wasn’t surprised at all
I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the ending. I too was wondering how it would it...and I actually think it ended realistically...loved to hear your thoughts.
Was it me or was there no subtitles when the Latino prisoner was speaking in Spanish? I still have no idea what he was saying.
It was pretty good but it emotional points wasn't matching mine, i guess i wanted to see a little more on "how". The script had the right intentions but i had to make my own scenes in my head. Seemed a little rushed idk but it was real good, i know the message but i needed it to go how i thought it was gone go!😂😂🤣
Of course I would’ve liked to see a different ending... I believe Nate did a really phenomenal job with this one... it showed how the father had compassion for the officer and how that ultimately led to his demise... the speech given by the young filmmaker was everything “then so be it”... to me, it was gut wrenching and honest... just because you show mercy, doesn’t mean it will be reciprocated 😉
Took a while to watch it...but im so upset with the lead character. He was asked if found guilty would he be able to go through with the consequences. And he was just as much a coward as the police officer if you're going to make a big plan like this you better go THROUGH with that plan
Is there a website that I can watch American Skin and the money I spend will go to Nate Parker? Or does he get the money already because of the contract with TH-cam, Google Play, Amazon, etc.?
I just came here to see how this movie was going to end before watching it and just like I thought...a whole disappointment
How would you like it to end though? I don’t think there would be any other solid ending 🤦🏾♂️
Exactly. I will wait until is comes across one of channels for free. As a black man I am disappointed.
@@imanigordon6803 it's a movie!! It can end anyway the director decides. This movie left me feeling so unsatisfied.
@@xiloa23 yeah so the director decided that it was to end that way why was it unsatisfactory? Because it didn’t drag you into a fantasy but actually how it would end?
@@imanigordon6803 The movie was already fantasy. Think critically.
This film was a waste of my time.
