- THE BIRTH OF A NATION MOVIE REVIEW - Nat Turner (played by Nate Parker) co-stars with Armie Hammer in an intense film about a literate slave and preacher in the antebellum South, who orchestrates an uprising. We've seen quite a few movies about slavery that had the Double Toasted crew shaken up such as the film 12 Years A Slave (starring the evil Michael Fassbender), but this one might have a couple of extra tricks up it's sleeve.

I always wanted to see a slave horror movie where the plantation family is haunted by a little slave girl they killed.
You talking about Myrtle's Plantation in South Carolina? A similar incident happened, and now that plantation is one of the most haunted places in America.
Never heard of that. Imma look it up though. Sounds interesting.
dude, write that as a short story or a short film! I like that idea!
PhantosTheHedgehog Jesus Christ... I freaking love your username and profile image
Heh, thanks :)
Damn the only black movies that become major releases other than Tyler Perry movies are slave movies lol
And ones starring Kevin Hart
@@JustinCoasters Dont forget about tiffany hadish and ice cube movies
Now add Black Panther.
I lost it when Korey said "Uncle Thomas"...too funny
I can't believe he dressed in blackface for this review
The movie is inspirational. Nat Turner is a hero, an underdog who thought back against his oppressors. It’s inspirational to everyone who has been oppressed, everyone who has been raped or abused. It’s the story of payback and about the under dog fighting back. Even though he died, his death meant something. He shook up the system and inspired many who fought in the civil war as shown at the end of the movie. He sacrificed himself to inspire others to fight against injustice. That’s pretty heroic and inspirational to me.
Fuck these scary movies coming out this October This is the Real Horror Movie to see this Halloween.
lol u ain't never lied
I'm with Kory. Most American history books mention two slave revolts, one being Nat Turner, as a the rationale for why slave laws got more and more strict.
But, then, the last history book I had in Texas college got banned in Texas for being too liberal, so... I don't know what they teach today.
I hope they make a film about the Haitian Revolution.
I would love to see that
noangel1087
especially the part were they turn into the poorest country in the caribbean?
that would be amazing
but then y'all would complain and say black people still became the villain, unless they cut out the part that had the mass white genocide
Dommy521. What? Are you referring to me? I saw the film and it's the best movie this year. And if anyone thought the slaves were the villains must be ignorant. If fighting ones oppressors is wrong, then William Wallace would have to be considered a villain as well.
The fact that so many white people are pissed about this movie gives me more joy than I can express in words.
Justin B. 😂😂
I'm hispanic so no fucks given, have you seen Hamilton?
Nah. I'm working as a salaryman in Tokyo and I don't think it's coming out here anytime soon. I'd love to see it tho.
@Iplead
Well our presidential choices right now are a blatant racist and a more subtle racist in a country that was founded off of stealing people's land and enslavement. So if you're asking how I'll feel if Trump takes over, my answer is really not that much different. The racists that run this country and the people who support it haven't changed one bit since this country was officially founded it's just that one group is more obvious than the other. Personally, I like my racists right out in the open.
00:00 Headphone users beware.
Really. Damn, people, stop with the yelling. Please tone it down.
It becomes a fun little game of how quick can I find the volume button :P
Luckily an ad popped up when I was reading your comment, so I had time to adjust the volume.
The story of Catcher Freeman
Griffith made a movie called The Yellowman and the Girl... So to say he had a messed up relationship with the concept of race relations is a bit of an understatement -.-
You might want to read the plot of the movie before coming to that conclusion.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_Blossoms
No I sat through and watched the damn thing in film history course. I was also the only Asian in the room. It was uncomfortable as shit. -.- Like... I could tell he was trying to be fair to Chinese people. But he was doing it in literally the worst way possible. -.- After the it was done, my professor looked at me and said. "Yeah maybe I shouldn't show that one next year" The whole room laughed.
LEEboneisDaMan
From what I remember of the film outside of the main character being in Yellow face and the use of some racial epithets, both of which were completely normal in 1919 there really isn't that much objectionable to it, the guy is an outcast who gets revenge on the father of white girl he beat to death. As for the objectionable practices from today's point of view you can't apply a 2016 sense of morality on a 1919 film. If you're to go by that logic and apply to everything then you get crazy results.
I never even heard of Nat turner!
WTF
how bad is our education!?
very
Yes. That's how bad the educational system is, especially for us. The system is set up to avoid and rug sweep a lot of this country's ugly past away.
yeah but how come i never heard of Nikolis Tesla?
like not till i was in collage did i hear of him XD
Again. The system. Not racial negligence but dirty, just the same.
It works to establish and set the narrative the way THEY want it to go. Revisionist history.
As a teen, I had a white teacher that talked about the revolt in school. He said he wasn't allowed to teach on it, wasn't in the curriculum. He also called Columbus scum of the Earth. The whole class did an audible gasp. lol
And also, I didn't even know who Tesla was until I seen The Prestige. I read up all I could about him... holy shit is that a long tale!
this film is brutal, powerful and well directed. It is the Braveheart of this year, maybe this generation. Like, Mel Gibson, I can see Nate Parker getting best actor & director OR director & film at the Oscars
Except the clothes are accurate.
I don't care aboutwhat the director did. This is a film where multiple people were involved and poured their artistic minds into. I will watch this film.
No such thing as a kind slave master...
I highly recommend this movie it's a must see.
Korey just destroyed goodwyn with that line about school so quickly he didn't even get to digest the pain properly
Predicted Antebellum at the end......
They need to make one about the Haitian Revolution!
congrats on 60k subscribers!! y'all easily deserve 5x that keep it up y'all are hilarious
Aw i wanted to hear that story about what happened after korey left
they said it on the SoundCloud
+Chicagojon Awesome which part was it I didn't really listen to the WHOLE thing?
what happened?
m.soundcloud.com/kcoolman/the-movie-review-extravaganza-10-5-16 Start at 1:03:14
kaneiah williams thanks now.
Korey doesn't wanna see another slave movie for 3 years and expects the next movie is gonna be a horror movie
3 years later...
Antebellum
Or the woman king released this year which he seemed to enjoy🤣
Its amazing that people will call a film "classic" based solely on the fact that its what they've heard or they've been told.
I wanted to hear Martin's story at the theatre
“Next thing you know there’s gonna be a ‘found footage’ horror movie of someone going back in time and shooting slavery…”
Y’all ever heard of Goodbye Uncle Tom?
Did Korey predict Antebellum in this review ? 23:54
I'm happy they did this. Haven't even watched all the way through.
Intolerance (1916) was made as an answer to his critics, but not as an apology for the negative images of African Americans in film.
He never apologized and couldn't give 2 shi*s about the NAACP criticism of his movie.
That is actually not a bad idea for a interesting movie. Group of mix race friends found a way to travel back in time to record historical slavery events. But got caught during the process of observation. Sounds legitimately sacry right their.
Yeah. Like 4 black dudes wanna go back to the 1980s but they go back to the 1880s accidentally. As they said in the review. They capture all this intense torture type footage with their camera whilst they're trying to hide away from crazy ass slave owners. Movie starts with someone finding a modern day camera in a lockbox from the 1800s. Then they view it.. the idea sounds stupid when said out loud. but at the same time it hasn't stopped people from making like 5 or 6 paranormal activity movies.
Today guys is my birthday and this the best video to celebrate my birthday
Yanno, happy birthday man
The racial stuff aside, Birth of a Nation is a masterpiece, and D.W Griffith is one of the best directors in history. Period.
This movie was incredible! After I saw this film, myself and others had a discussion about it. It's kind of like the opposite of blazing saddles
Congrats on 60,000 subs!! :-)
Very funny and sincere review. Often you guys keep everything in perspective.
his beard deserves an Oscar lol
I had to look at the title like 3 times to make sure I wasn't misreading it. Like, woooh holy shit! They're gonna review this!? daaaaaamn
Did they make a video review for 12 years a slave, I always hear them talk about Corey’s dislike of Michael Fassbender in that movie.
Clicked on this so fast it's embarrassing
You're on point Korey, same thing is happening today and very salient in our present..
The ending of this film made me cry rivers in class.
Damn Korey practically predicated Antebellum towards the end there
The next slave movie's gonna be a feature-length adaptation of Chapelle's 'Playa Haters Time Travelling'.
I would watch the absolute fuck out of it.
I like your guys reviews and all, they are entertaining, interesting, and funny to watch, but at the same time, i tend to have some sort of distaste in these type of reviews nowadays, where there's always something about racism and discrimination against black people in U.S. History. It tends to get repetitive, in that, while blacks are constantly brought up in media and history, there are other minorities, e.g. Mexicans and Native Americans, that are not brought up enough in history that were discriminated in American history as well. Though there weren't mexicans in the American Revolution and Civil War as far as i can tell, they are also discriminated during the 1960s. There were also Native Americans that were discriminated and beaten horrendously as well. Point being, I hope to see more movies where other minorities are spoken about as well, besides Black people all the time, in hopes of getting your guys fair point of view in those people as well.
The same for Jews in the Holocaust. We need more like that and there is something I wish Hollywood would do movies on white slavery.
A kind slave owner? I never thought I'd hear such a phrase
"Kind" slave owners were still slave owners. If they were actually kindhearted people they would have freed their slaves immediately and supported abolition, but that did not happen. In the end they were just as much pieces of shit as the asshole slave owners
+don jon
That's what I'm saying. Korey making such a phrase is an oxymoron
I normally do not like Slave movies but this shit is better than sex Nate Parker did a excellent job
always look forward to watching these guys!!!!!
I love Coleman's fashion ...casual af but all his shirts are awesome
Yo, where can I get that Ali-SF t-shirt K.Goodwin is rocking?
I agree, it was a one and done for me
I can't wait to see this film, I was always curious if or when they were going to make a film on Nat Turner.. especially a well directed film. I'm even more anxious due to how unapologetic this film seems to be.. it's history, and I'm not going to watch it with intentions to hate anybody, but to embrace the film as a great piece of cinema history- hopefully.
I can understand the fact some white people will be bothered by this, and even argue how it's not worthwhile or "white people are evil" movie- but, that's not my issue or my worry. It's a film.
Great review ... Sammy looks pissed off tho, wonder what's up with out boy?
Man I had to fast forward to the 10 minute mark. Good review just a little long. Saw this at TIFF. Wow. I cannot wait for your Manchester by the sea review and La la land.. I love Martins laugh by the way. Ha ha haaaaaaa.
Even I, from a Podunk town in the Heartland, read about this in my history book. Martin I can maybe understand, but Corey?
Korey Goodwin looks better with his beard cut short.
I think Korey Just predicted Antebellum in this review 😂 24:10
happy 60k subscribers guys!
Cory finally trimmed up his sideburns god damn. Dude looked like a lumberjack for the longest.
indeed
One difference between recent slave movies and the old ones from the 1970s is the casting of the slave owners. Producers used to cast the ugliest no-name white actors they can find in these roles. Now we have Leonardo Di Caprio, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Michael Fassbender, Alex Pettyfer, Armie Hammer, and other well known actors. Which does seem to change how audiences react to the horrors being depicted. We "know" these guys.
Please please please review 'The Girl with All the Gifts'. Please!
Korey's idea of a black version of Project Almanac and they go early 19th century south is brilliant
Don't give blumhouse fucking ideas!!! They'll fucking do it Korey.
Off topic but, Happy 20th Anniversary Space Jam!
Can you guys please talk about Narcos? Would love to hear what you have to say.
So many "black" movies are going to compete for the Oscars this year : Fences, The Birth of a Nation, Hidden Figures and Loving. Loving is my personal favorite. It has the only trailer ever that had me crying...
rorschach is in this movie....
24:10 found footage horror movie lmao
I just hate how they made Nat Turner a hero, when it was much more complicated than that. The man did some horrible things.
Sung Ra No shit. Does that make this disaster of a film ok? No.
Tiffany Vilese He literally admitted to killing women and children because they were white. You fucking idiot.
exactly, the world is always grey.
Tiffany Vilese From multiple sources on the internet, and a bachelors degree in American History..
Who actually deserves the title hero in history?
Julius Caesar, Octavian, Alexander the Great, Peter the Great, Charles Martel, Frederick the Great, Leonidas I ,Godfrey of Bouillon, Richard the Lionheart, Saladin, Balian d'Ibelin, Bohemond I, Tancred of Galilee, Constantine the Great, Mark Anthony, etc.
There are so much more people in history deserving of the title hero than Nat Turner.
Yolo Swaggins I agree, I mean yeah we get he might have believed what he did was the right thing, but those children and innocent women didn't deserve that. If anybody did, it was the people who kept them and would abuse them. But then again, no one deserves death.
Korey Coleman is a genius..the Howard Stern of podcast.
I went to a pretty predominantly white high school in the South and I learned about Nat Turner.
20:20
22:25
24:55
My family didn’t own any slaves..
I don't know I thought this movie was kind of dull to be honest.
Movie had the truth in it IYKYK
Actually Intolerance wasnt necessarily an apology because he did feel like he had nothing to apologize for.
The nat turner story. AKA Black lives matter 2016.
i actually like the idea of a found footage horror movie going back in slavery times
I really want to watch all of this, but I have to watch the movie first. I'm really hoping this isn't as bad as Rosewood, and I'm not talking about Morris's show.
same heree
Give Morris a break dude. it's not his fault the show sucked
Review starts, Korey making slavery jokes right off the bat. XD
Cough cough Django unchained
Korey shouldn't feel like he had to apologize for enjoying seeing Nat Turner spark the revolution. Anyone that would accuse him of being racist isn't his friend.
Shite, back when I bought the biography, I lent it out to EVERYBODY to read (and even got it back!) !
People are comfortable watching films on revolutionary war movies, and Brave Heart but people will feel uncomfortable watching black people having a revolution against their oppressors.
AHHHH AHHHH.....AHHHHHHH....shell shock
I don't get how Korey dislike Django after his rant her about payback.
Wait...is Korey onto something underlying in the story of Planet of the Apes...Cancel Caesar!!!
First guys, huge fan of the show, but with all these "race" movies coming up as of late i would like to get your opinion on something that was brought to my attention earlier this year (ironically enough, during black history month) possibly one of this countries best kept secrets which could be one of the REAL reasons for the fear of "us" in this country. The real reason that slavery ended here, The Gullah Wars also referred to as the 100 year war in history books. (not the civil war, like we were lead to believe). Look it up it might be something that you might want to talk about on your show!? I feel that this movie and that Free State of Jones movie might be touching on but not giving credit to what actually happened? idk, what are your thoughts?
Uhh Corey, the slavemasters were based on true real people.....not Hollywood villains
Good film, but I just can't say it's great film
I feel this was an opportunity to get a review from 'us' to be able to ignore all of the other things that mass media would not and JUST talk about the film. Just Nat Turner. ONLY what he meant to black people and what he represents and what this movie represents.
Instead we get a lot of jokes and giggling which I understand is the platform but I hoping similar to a few other times with serious issues that the team would tackle what this film means to not only black people today but what his legacy means to the spirit of the American Struggle.
Did other Korey lose weight?
This movie was boring as shit. History Channel material
So many slavery movies, black people definitely went through a lot of crazy sh*t :(
What ever happened to Tommy?
He hit someone with his car and ran away from the scene they caught him and was arrested.
someone let me know what movies they've given a "Better than Sex" rating
Oh boy. Do you want me to include the ones from the Spill.com days?
The story must be told f the rape case I'm not trying to be insensitive but I also loved the movie. Like he said they didn't show the in between but you get it you know. I loved the movie and also F the fact that he has a wife that's white who cares. It's about the real history we don't learn about this in school but it's important. Lastly I love how Nate Parker brought life to Nat Turner he brought that rebellious attitude to life and I love it. I didn't hate whites after this movie not gone lie it takes a min for me to say ok that's the past but I loved it.
movie has 5/10 on imdb
Not surprised. That website is racist af. It probably had a 4 or 5 rating before it was released anywhere :/
Heaven forbid TH-cam allow DT to show the entire trailer on their show. Ruined the reaction vid for "Get Out".
He organized a tag team on a drunk chick.. Very dangerous.
lol I swear when watching this movie in the theater I was the only Asian guy there. And two white girls all the way in the back corner.
Wheres tommy?
Jesus christ. where have you been?
