This reminds me of the last cod WW2 game that had a female black Nazi. They just can’t help themselves and the white knights will cry about the one actual mixed race kid in 1940s London so it’s totally “historically accurate”.
Same defense for Victorian England period pieces that look like downtown LA. “Well parts of Africa were under British rule and you had a handful of Africans in England so it totally makes sense”
Could you imagine the outrage if a historically accurate black American slave owner was made into film/tv? It’s always interesting how they’re so selective on who can be “diverse”.
It would be funny to see leftist head spinning looking to justify taking Americans for slavery is ok. Since it was muslims they'd probably bring up the Crusades
On my list of interesting period pieces, a mini series about one of the prominent black slave owners would be fascinating. Or a movie or show from the perspective of a slave in Africa. I’d subvert expectations and have the trailer appear like a standard slave story until you see he is in Africa at the end of the trailer.
Also a documentary of the wars between Native Americans or a series on non western atrocities since they have gone over what the west has done with a fine tooth comb
True. That is the common defense when you mention black slave owners, which did happen but there were legit slave owners who were black. I’ve heard people brush off African slavery with “well it wasn’t as bad”. We have interviews with former slaves in America. We don’t have that for African slavery. I’ve listened some old interviews with former slaves and as you would expect it runs the gamut from very cruel to very kind masters and everything in between.
Every time I hear “it wasn’t as bad” the first thing I say is “then where are their descendants?”. I did some quick math on it a while back and if the white slaves in Africa had the same population growth rate there would have been over 120 million white people in north Africa alone.
Which is fairly hilarious, as the one black slave owner that sticks in my head - pretty rich guy, the one from South Carolina, got sued when he tried to buy a plantation, judge ruled in his favor - was so disliked explicitly because he was one of the few slave owners who was actively breeding slaves. Whoops.
Or not. It's been so long since I cracked open those books I wouldn't be surprised if my brain has scrambled stuff.
That’s where the John smith and Pocahontas story is from. The Jamestown massacre would have seen the colonists wiped out entirely if a native boy didn’t warn a family who alerted the fort colony.
It's not even an iconic picture, it's purely just an excuse to make another movie with The Message. Oh writer/director couldn't find anything about this boy in a generic undistinguished picture? No problem, just make it all up.
Had to watch this trailer for one of the survey sites I use that gives you points towards Amazon gift cards for watching movie trailers and tv shows. I saw this and immediately started laughing because it absolutely SCREAMS current year. At first I wondered if it was based on a true story but even then they would race swap.
I really want to get into the movie business and make a movie about a west African kingdom from the year 1000 and cast random White and Asian people just for the pushback I’d get. I hope this movie bombs because it screams agenda
EveryoneSez. I have insomnia so I do a lot of surveys on sites or apps or product tests for gift cards or a few dollars on the side. I can send you a DM with a list of different ones if you’d like
Not a bad way to pass the time if you are up in the evenings watching tv. I usually do them late at night while watching tv since I have insomnia to a degree
Big Tech left progressives and Hollywoke types are trying to rewrite Western history by constantly stealthing ethnic characters into the background, or to make movies such as this, putting them into the forefront.
They've been trying to make the 'ethnic character type' popular for decades now.
It's so tiresome - Communist, racist, BLM supporter has NEVER made a successful commercial film but only makes arthouse films that explore political themes
Hijack was about the only watchable thing I saw on my free sub. Everything else was utter, woke, drek.
(Note that super smart, single, white woman, mother helps save the hero and the day from dumb men and dumb government officials, of both genders, but her character mostly works)
"Fun" fact, a large percentage, maybe up to half of all civilians killed in the blitz were from friendly AA fire coming back down.
Hard to tell the exact numbers obviously, doesn't really change anything but it's fun to "reinterpret boomer history through the lens of" whatever you want.

They literally aren't aware free black slave holders existed.
Of course not, just like if you say the shores of Tripoli they think it’s a vacation destination.

Oh yea. A show about the white African slaves. Actually learned about them because of Sowell. Arab slave trade as well

It was a black guy who made slavery an "in perpetuity" thing.
The Powhatan/ Jamestown wars and massacre would have been a great series but would never get made today
Never heard of that one. Most of my Native American knowledge is from Oklahoma area since I grew up there. Will look it up
That’s where the John smith and Pocahontas story is from. The Jamestown massacre would have seen the colonists wiped out entirely if a native boy didn’t warn a family who alerted the fort colony.
Well I need to do some history reading
The movie is based on a picture of a black kid leaving London during the Blitz
Whoop-de-shit
It's not even an iconic picture, it's purely just an excuse to make another movie with The Message. Oh writer/director couldn't find anything about this boy in a generic undistinguished picture? No problem, just make it all up.
Kinda racist of Steve McQueen to think his mom was white then…
They needed a white woman to worship black dick
From reading his bio on wikipedia - yeah, I'd say that was the reason.
My first question when reading the thread title was going to be: How soon in the trailer does a black guy appear?
Answer: Literally the thumbnail 🤡🌍
My wife, a major Anglophile, was like "Ooh, the blitz! Oh wait nevermind..."
It was a nice moment.
Sounds like you should wife her.
As for that period of time there's always 'Allo, 'Allo!, and Goodnight Sweetheart.
Got the disappointment out of the way early.

What is this survey site you talk of? Im interested.

Sometimes i render stuff i cant do much on my computer for dozens of hours at a time.

Sure. Let me know the rest.
Will do
Probably more pleasant than modern day London

No it isn't.
It's sci fi alternate reality.
It feels that way

Has anyone thought about why all the WW2 movies are being released lately? Doesn't it seem a little bit...off?
I can't say I've noticed an uptick in WWII movies
The History Channel was also known as the WW2 Channel or the Hitler Channel for decades. WW2's always been a popular choice of subject matter.
