Nate and the Colonel (2003)
Confederate Propaganda
3 May 2023
Uniformly dreadful acting and directing coupled with a Lost Cause/Maga outlook where freed slaves choose to stay with their masters and the Union Army are the baddies. This film could only have been made with a Trump supporter's money. It gives revisionism a worse name than it already had.
The relationship between the freed slave and ex master is a wish fulfilment fantasy of benevolent relationships between the whipper and the whipped. We are even provided a Minstrel Show caricature dance from the freed slave as he uncovers gold.
This is tone deaf and offensive.
Save your time and read a book about this period.
This stinks to high heaven and beyond.
