To the previous post, Terry Lynch. Disgusting. You've demonstrated how truly iliterate you are. Showing these movies, be it about Black, Jewish, Native American, Aborigines, Inuits etc has nothing to do with shaming anyone or making anyone feel bad. The mere fact that you would make such stupid comments is sad. Beautiful movie, hard to watch at times, great acting - classic

Some clearly racists comments from other owners. This is based on true story, it is not meet to make people feel bad ..... this happened. Yes over 150 years ago but it happened. I found the movie very interesting but I could not rate it 5 stars because I have to admit I found it at times long and dull.

Another useless movie based on making white people feel guilty for something none of us did in our generation. Overly exaggerated as always and boring as hell. You can tell the Jews paid to have this movie made to fulfill their agenda as always.
