Top 3 Controversial Films (47:25)
One of the sad things about The Birth of a Nation, is the controversy surrounding Nate Parker himself. As noted earlier this week, this film was set up to be one of the most influential films to come out this fall. However, Parker’s controversy has stifled that conversation mightily, which is very understandable given what Parker has been accused of. For a lot of audiences, it will be hard to separate the man from the art. Using that as our inspiration this week, we decided to discuss our favorite controversial films. Whether it be about the subject matter, how the film was made or whatever the case may be, there are a lot of great films out there that have polarized audiences over the years. On that note, what would be your top 3?
