Harriet (2019)
MissMorgue -5 points 4 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Please note when watching this film it does not accurately depict the life of Harriet Tubman - the actress who is playing her has made countless disparaging remarks about the people whose ancestors were slaves (her own ancestry has been called into question as she is from a cast of people who were in fact black slavers that sold captured people into slavery to non-black slavers)
The White Plantation owner who saves her in the film is a work of fiction as is the black slave bounty hunter who was attempting to kill her.

This film spits on the truth that is a wonderful woman who free’d countless men, women and children.

spits on…? embellishes, maybe. seriously? Its still a movie, and added elements for entertainment’s sake are sort of to be expected. Not withstanding is the fact that many other such instances may have, and very well could have happened in her life… camera crews and historians piece together and recreate, and thus, take creative liberties here and there. So what. Its kind of a given that not everything in movies like this happened exactly as retold… welcome to storytelling 101… and thus, a series of events becomes a story, a story becomes a legend… a legend evolves into myth and lives forever.
