You have me excited now. I have this on my "must watch" list this weekend.Damn good movie, It would be fantastic if Netflix picked up the series to tie up loose ends.
Was Rufus telling the truth?
One cool thing about the movie is that any of the main characters could have a solo spin off movie as a sequel or a prequel.Damn good movie, It would be fantastic if Netflix picked up the series to tie up loose ends.

Man, the biggest surprise for me wasThis ish went hard I loved every moment.
No Doubt.I think a movie about either Trudy, Cherokee Bill, or Bass Reeves would be especially dope!
Everyone's viewing experience will be different, but a solid movie nonetheless.You have me excited now. I have this on my "must watch" list this weekend.
Sure was.Man, the biggest surprise for me wasDeon Cole. I thought he was gonna be on joke time, but even he was a bad mf!
It started off violent too. My lady didn’t want to watch it for that reason. After the first scene, then the church, then the shoot she was through.Way too violent for no reason. Like that scene with Idris Elba beating wiley character. If you enjoy that kinda stuff there's something wrong with you.
Right? Reminded me of Quentin Tarantino's movies. Nothing but gratuitous black on black violence. Not much different than hood movies like Menace to Society.It started off violent too.

It's like people are so thirsty for black representativity they'll accept everything.It started off hardcore. The killing of the husband and wife in front of the son, the murder scene in the church, and the shoot out holy ish it was an onslaught of violence. It was the same with Squid Game…it’s almost like the people that make this crap get high off it. I barely even play violent video games anymore…definitely aint got time for a call of duty.
I don’t think it has anything to do with Blackness. American culture is violent so this is part for the course.It's like people are so thirsty for black representativity they'll accept everything.
With that being said this scene was dope though.
Son look like he grandmaster flash and the furious five.
Yes i agree but moviemakers can decide the level of violence they'll expose the viewer. There's a reason movies like Goodbye Uncle Tom from 1972 are not popular.I don’t think it has anything to do with Blackness. American culture is violent so this is part for the course.
Goodbye Uncle Tom was a low budget Italian film with no mainstream US actors. It wasn't given a wide release in the US. Also, it's only mediocre as a film.Yes i agree but moviemakers can decide the level of violence they'll expose the viewer. There's a reason movies like Goodbye Uncle Tom from 1972 are not popular.
None of these movies are as explicit as Goodbye Uncle Tom. You're right about it not having a decent release.Goodbye Uncle Tom was a low budget Italian film with no mainstream US actors. It wasn't given a wide release in the US. Also, it's only mediocre as a film.
There are many domestic movies from the same time period that are violent yet popular. In fact, the iconic Texas Chainsaw Massacre was released only two years later.
Mandingo was also released around the same time, and is a Blaxploitation classic.
The most explicit thing about GUT was a baby's genitals being exposed. The TCM alone had more violence and gore. Incedentally, City of God, which is my favorite Brazilian movie, is more violent than GUT.None of these movies are as explicit as Goodbye Uncle Tom. You're right about it not having a decent release.
At the end of the day violent movies bring nothing positive to society.

Saying that violent movies bring nothing positive to society is your opinion, and I can respect that, but it's not necessarily factual.
How and why watching violence affects us
“The research shows that exposure to violent media increases aggressive thoughts,” says Brad J. Bushman, a professor of communication at Ohio State University who studies the causes, consequences and solutions to human aggression and violence. “It increases angry feelings. It increases physiological arousal, like heart rate and blood pressure.” Plus, he says, watching violent TV “decreases feelings of empathy and compassion for others. It makes people numb to the pain and suffering of others, which researchers call desensitization, and it decreases pro-social behaviors like helping others, cooperation and sharing things.”
Even brief exposure to media violence can increase aggressive thinking and behavior, Bushman says, but the consequences worsen with duration. “It’s kind of like smoking cigarettes,” he says. “Probably smoking one won’t give you lung cancer, but it will still harm you, and every cigarette has a cumulative effect over time.”
I thought you rejected science, yet here you are presenting a scientific study.
i don't reject science when it's done the right wayI thought you rejected science, yet here you are presenting a scientific study.
Anyway, maybe some movie director is planning a blockbuster action film where the heroes and villains will hold hands, eat salads, and brush each other's hair instead of fighting.
I felt the same way, but I kinda forgot about it as I continued to watch.Just finished the movie. It was a solid movie, I liked it a lot. My only criticism is the set's. They looked too new, too clean, some of the props too, like the mattress and pillow in the jail cell, they looked brand new.
The story was good, action was good, the camera work was pretty dope, did some things I never seen before.
I hope they make more westerns with all black cast, I enjoyed it.
I think that was mainly in regards to the main bad guy in the movie. I felt like he was violent for the purpose of being violent. They wanted to show he was ruthless and didn't care about anyone. Yet the main star of the movie, was willing to let people live instead. Which I think is why the violence was a key factor. It shows the main protagonist as someone trustworthy, capable and isn't some murderous monster.Way too violent for no reason. Like that scene with Idris Elba beating wiley character. If you enjoy that kinda stuff there's something wrong with you.
