The earliest violent revolt of black slaves in the United States was shocking and sad. The descriptions of the characters are quite delicate, but they are heavily masked. The development of the story is reasonable but obvious. Not outstanding among the many black civil rights films today.

The film is too straight, too inflammatory

Nat Turner: [after Nat watches a horrific scene between a slave and slave owner and has to preach to the slaves] Brethren, I pray you'll sing to the Lord, a new song. Sing praise in assembly of the righteous. Let the saints be joyful in glory, let them sing aloud on their beds. Let the high praise of God be on the mouths of the saints and a two-edged sword in their hand to execute vengeance on the demonic nations! And punishment on those peoples! To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fens of iron! To execute on them this written judgement! This honor have all his saints! PRAISE THE LORD! PRAISE THE LORD! SING TO HIM A NEW SONG! PRAISE THE LORD! PRAISE THE LORD!

Elizabeth Turner: These books are for white folks. They're full of things your kind wouldn't understand.
