FYI, you can't spell Parker without R, A, P, or E.

the story won’t focus on those crimes, instead focusing on Waddy’s relationship with his father, and the identity struggle of being an African-American and a police officer, thus the title “Black & Blue.”

Not titling it Intolerance, missed opportunity right there.

I'm sorry okay! I've been lusting after white *beep* for so long, I lost perspective

As someone who thought that Parker's The Birth of a Nation was actually a very fine film that had a strong (if somewhat overly raw) directorial verve to it, I'm intrigued by the possibilities of this, because it is a fascinating premise.

But yeah, after Parker's incredibly tone-deaf reaction to the fallout surrounding the controversy and how incredibly repellent he came off in his responses, I would be utterly surprised if this movie gets any sort of a warm reception.

Good morning, Oscar Buzz. I'm listening.

directing what... a one man show? Seriously, not too many people are gonna sign off on this project especially with his attitude. He was 19 and he was acquitted. okay, but still there is a right way and a wrong way to handle these types of situation and he picked the latter.

“Black & Blue” tells the story of decorated LAPD officer Ralph Waddy. The officer was around during some of the most racially-charged times in Los Angeles history. He was involved in the Watts riots, Robert Kennedy’s assassination, and the Manson Murders. Waddy was involved in the investigation of these crimes, as well as the arrest of the Skid Row Slasher and the emergence of the Black Panthers.

However, the story won’t focus on those crimes, instead focusing on Waddy’s relationship with his father, and the identity struggle of being an African-American and a police officer, thus the title “Black & Blue”

Not that the father and identity struggle aspect can’t be interesting but I hope we do see some of those crimes in the film.

But also, it’ll be interesting to see if anyone of note actually wants to still work with him. Maybe some people who were in The Birth of a Nation? Or maybe it’ll just be Nate Parker working with unknowns.
