of how this schism/dynamic could/would play out. I wonder if it would fall into the Ali movie bait of a "Black director must to do it in order for it to be "authentic"". I mean it's one of the reason i just wrote fuck this movie to begin, because these conversations cane derail very quickly into the "ohh you're just ignorant" or "take your racial agenda to activist" shit. Back in the day i use to be mad a people who liked movies like this, now i just understand different films work for different people and that's how it should be, but debating the merits/value of a film is also, well valuable.

Even with that I agree on your points about Mel, I love Braveheart too, well i haven't seen it in a long time, but i did. He's a strange man who does violence very well and religiosity bleeds into his films. some times they work, some times they don't.
