MLive: "The Birth of a Nation" is most audacious in its title. Translating the story of historical figure Nat Turner, who led a revolt of African-American slaves against their masters, director/screenwriter/actor Nate Parker attempts to wrestle those five words away from D.W. Griffith's 1915 film romanticizing the Ku Klux Klan. It isn't appropriation by Parker. It's an attempt at hostile takeover, a cinematic revolt inspired by his subject.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
