To me, the movie is, in a lot of ways, the capitalist in William O’Neal and the socialist in Fred Hampton…and the coward in William O’Neal and the revolutionary in Fred Hampton,” he stated. “I try to attach judgment to both of those ideologies but most people fall somewhere in between. You want to make a movie where the audience watches it and walks away questioning ‘Where do I fall between those two?'”

Just based off this quote alone I know this film will be centrist garbage. We don't need a fred hampton movie arguing for capitalism

Is that what you really took away from the quote?

After viewing the trailer, I don't believe the movie is about a literal socialist vs. capitalist argument. More so, it seems to be highlighting one of the the major problems with capitalism....selfishness and focus on the individual instead of the collective. William O'neal's decision to work for the Feds and further his well-being in order to not being blackmailed at the expense of his fellow brothers and sisters seems to be the central plot here. How is that an argument for capitalism? Especially since we all know what happened to William O'neal.

What I'm saying is I don't think their should be any ambiguity on who's side to take when fred was murdered by cops while he was sleeping and other dude got protection from the state. Clearly one ideology served a purpose that helped the state and one didn't.
But whatever the movie will come out and prolly get killed and we'll find out then

Ain't Hollywood find a way to make a harriet movie that still made black people somewhat the villain? Why yall playing devils advocate for them?

Because the man who wrote Remember The Titans and Glory Road has nothing to do with this movie.

I'm going based off the trailer and it doesn't look good. You could be right but I highly doubt it, as mentioned look who's backing the film.

Lol so who you want to distribute the film then. They got a movie done and bigger entity to distribute for the mass and you tryna make it something it's not

My God, y'all complaining ass niggas are annoying. Movie isn't even out, but already calling it an "action movie" based off a trailer and saying what's going to happen.

The director/writer was involved in directing/writing Random Acts Of Flyness. A show that had no problems showcasing radical black thought and going after white people.

The talent behind it doesn't even warrant such hostility but type away.
