Title: Slavery movies Post by: lester1/2jr on March 31, 2012, 07:58:32 PM I just watched Mandingo for the first time in a long time. I may or may not watch Drum the sequel which I think is on netflix instant. I didn't like it as much as Farewell Uncle Tom.
I'm trying to think of other slavery themed movies, not neccasarily in the American South. Anyone seen any good/bad ones?

In Cosmos, a starship follows a signel to a planet who's inhabitants have been enslaved by their computer. In Odyssey, some aliens buy Earth so they can sell humans as slaves. I believe War of the Robots also involves slavery, but I haven't seen it.

This is a most excellent movie about slavery. It looks deeply into the issue and brings a fresh look at the evils of human enslavement. :lookingup: :teddyr: :tongueout: Title: Re: Slavery movies Post by: RCMerchant on April 03, 2012, 05:16:38 AM Being this IS BAD MOVIES-thought I throw this in there...

We rented it a couple of years ago, which would be the first time I've seen it since it aired back in the 70s. Good cast, but can get a little weird seeing network stars of the time in such an epic production. Never saw the two sequels, and don't think I want to.
Title: Re: Slavery movies Post by: Conf on April 03, 2012, 06:52:08 AM don't forget the two italian top-sleazeries (http://www.ivid.it/fotogallery/imagesearch/images/mandinga_antonio_gismondo_mario_pinzauti_001_jpg_awgw.jpg) and Emanuelle Bianca & Nera (http://www.locandinebest.net/imgk/Emanuelle_bianca_e_nera_1976.jpg) shot back-to-back by infamous director Mario Pinzauti.
Title: Re: Slavery movies Post by: Trevor on April 03, 2012, 08:18:07 AM There was a film called Slavers made in the then Rhodesia with Trevor Howard and Britt Ekland. I haven't seen it.

You didn't say it couldn't be sci-fi. Title: Re: Slavery movies Post by: bob on April 07, 2012, 03:13:44 PM Spartacus (1960) is outstanding
Title: Re: Slavery movies Post by: indianasmith on April 07, 2012, 03:35:13 PM And the new SPARTACUS series on STARZ is entertaining - if you don't mind an enormous amount of gratuitous nudity and over the top 300-style violence.
Title: Re: Slavery movies Post by: lester1/2jr on April 07, 2012, 03:51:21 PM I don't think anyone does.
Title: Re: Slavery movies Post by: Couchtr26 on April 25, 2012, 12:10:53 AM If you are looking for something set in Rome you could always try The Eagle. The movie depicts a good changing of relationship between two characters one of which is a slave. Many biblical epics touch on the subject but not deeply and not in more then a glossing over from my experience. I'm having trouble thinking of some outside of the American South simply as many seem to not touch on the subject deeply or tend to treat them more as an indentured servitude idea that some money is being paid back with labor and has an end in sight.

I love every bad horrorotic & WIP movie by Jess Franco. Movies like Sadomania, 99 Women and Mansion of the Living Dead blends with the theme of slavery in a sick and perverted way. Title: Re: Slavery movies Post by: tommex84 on May 08, 2012, 02:03:36 PM - The good old Spartacus (1960) with Kirk Douglas
- Race to Freedom: The Underground Railroad (1994) - A Time to Kill (1996) with Samuel L. Jackson (excellent movie with a great performance by SLJ) - Mama Flora's Family (1998) with Blair Underwood and Queen Latifah Though the last two are more about racism. There are probably more of them, but I just can't remember the titles :question: |
