I'm sure there's tons of people who will roll their eyes and talk about being preached to, but I'm happy we're getting more films from other perspectives and newer stories. There's a huge population of Americans whose voices have never been listened to. A few years ago I watched Unchained Memories and cried like a baby. Thanks for bringing him and this film to my attention, I'll definitely be watching it when it's out, as well as reading up on him. I would be interested in hearing about people that aren't talked about much but that you think should be. If that's something you'd be interested in making a video for or writing an article about.
I just saw Al Stewart perform in Edinburgh on the day you uploaded this video, so I was psyched to see the poster behind you. Great to see another fan, :).
@@ReelHistory Awesome. I was also able to get a signed poster. The one I've got is of a biplane flying in front of Big Ben, referring to Al's song 'Flying Sorcery.' :)
I'm always interested in movies based, even if only in part, on historical events and individuals. This will hopefully bring viewers to seek further education on the subject matter, and not base their knowledge on the subject solely on what movie producers and directors want to portray to an audience.
Hey Jared. First off, I am absolutely a huge fan of the channel! I love the work that you all do! Secondly, I was wondering if the review of the John Adams series will eventually be released? I have no problem if it is 6+ months from now. I just wanted to know if there is a plan to finish the series (which I have watched 6 or more times over the past several years), or if it has somewhat fallen to the wayside due to a lack of viewer demand? In any case, keep up the great work in both educating AND entertaining some of us!
Hey thank! YES! it is 100% going to continue. Our time together with Emily was limited the 2 filming sessions we got and the third got called off due to Andy's work schedule. We just need to all reconnect soon to make it happen. Until then enjoy the new mix of content we have for a bit. We seem to be on a run of shorter videos for the next month or so then things should normalize.
@@Gibson343088 There were no charges pressed. Am I correct? Why should I be hung up on it if Chris Rock is not upset enough to press charges? No, I do not listen to Chris Brown. Care to make any more generalizations?
Emancipation of the slaves was inevitable, regardless. It was too expensive as technology increased. Even the South was willing to emancipate their slaves in order to get recognition from Europe.
Not necessarily. Slavery was growing more and more lucrative alongside industrialization. They did not work against each other. Emancipation was not at all a foregone conclusion. In fact, this is why Lincoln pushed for the 13th Amendment. He feared states would revert to slavery once the Emancipation Proclamation was null and void as a strategic war measure.
@@ReelHistory Love your channel, and learn much, but we are just going to have to disagree on this. The U.S. was too tied to England and other for slavery to continue. Slavery was never economically efficient and advances in industry alone would have killed it. It was just years from ending in the U.S., and Lincoln assumed most freed slaves would leave.
Historian David Blight offers context on some points you raise: "...by 1860, there were more millionaires (slaveholders all) living in the lower Mississippi Valley than anywhere else in the United States. In the same year, the nearly 4 million American slaves were worth some $3.5 billion, making them the largest single financial asset in the entire U.S. economy, worth more than all manufacturing and railroads combined. So, of course, the war was rooted in these two expanding and competing economies-but competing over what? What eventually tore asunder America's political culture was slavery's expansion into the Western territories." And the U.S. was so tied to slavery because England was buying cotton (picked by enslaved persons in southern states). Slavery was not about to die on its own. It was, in fact, growing.
@@ReelHistory And the South was willing to end slavery for diplomatic recognition from Britain and France, hence Duncan Kenner being sent to Europe to negotiate. Again, I appreciate what I learn on your channel, but when it comes to the victor writes all the history, in this case that of the war between the States, not so much.
@@johnkeith2450 While your point might be right in certain circumstances, It’s important not to make blanket statements. There was a demand for cheap/free labor. Indentured servants and sharecropping were similar forms of slavery. Furthermore, even if slavery was years from ending, one day of slavery was one day too much. While you may be making a “practical observation”, your comment sounds a little flippant. Yes, the industrial revolution made a tremendous difference, but at that time, many people worked very long hour for very little money (slave wages). It’s important that we understand that blanket economical explanations are subjective. An Economist must factor in a person’s business practices, resources, and acquisitions ( i.e., generational wealth, plantation births, “gifts”, collaboratives, inheritances etc.). Inefficiency and profitability we’re also based on a slave’s skill levels, productivity, working environments, number of workers, and gender. Profitability also depended on the supply, demand, logistics, type of business/labor etc.
Enslaved people emancipated themselves? With what power? What sway? A true depiction of the normmal slavery experience would be how mundanely functional and usually copecetic it would typically be on a day-to-day laboring basis with all the accoutrements of living a tolerable life with a purposed family to dignify its meaning. Alex Haley's depiction of persistent sadism is just flat out fantasy.

Victim blaming is mean. Chris Rock did not deserve that but Jada Smith is the real bully. She must really have something big and scandalous on her husband to get away with treating him the way that she does. I'm happy that Chris Rock has finally got his justice in his Netflix special, without having to lay a finger on anyone.

Thanks for the perspective.
As someone who worked as a background actor on this film.. all I can say is your analysis is spot on. I cant wait to see the finished film!
Sweet! Check back in when we cover the whole film!
First we have "All Quiet" at the end of the month, on Netflix, and now we have "Emancipation" on Apple, in December.
Will Smith is a hard no from me.
Really looking forward to this and seeing your commentary once it's released
Thanks for making this video, Jared and Andrew! I had no idea this movie was coming!
The 👍is for you Jared, not the movie!
Still dig what you do!!!
Playing General Lee - Chris Rock! 😄 Seriously, looks worth a viewing.
Looking forward to this film. Thank you for your early analysis of the trailer.
You are welcome.
Hyped to see a film like this! I hope they can do this story justice on the big screen!
Excited for movies like this. we dont have enough like these

Jared went to a concert of his several years ago for a birthday present. The poster is autographed!
@@ReelHistory Awesome. I was also able to get a signed poster. The one I've got is of a biplane flying in front of Big Ben, referring to Al's song 'Flying Sorcery.' :)
I was excited for this film when I heard about it. Even more excited now that I see the trailer.
Us too! We'll dive deep into this one for sure.

@@ReelHistory I will continue to enjoy all videos you all release, regardless of content or length!! ❤️
Antoine Fuqua and Robert Richardson insure a quality film.
Looks like a good movie....I am over the slap.
Countdown to "All Quiet On the Western Front"!
I can't wait for that movie. Hope they do it justice.

Duck, it's a bird, it's a plane no it's Will Smith looking to slap someone.
THE SECRET ENDING THO OMG IT HILARIOUS
I'm full of surprises- Andy
@@ReelHistory hahah id say!! love the fan interaction btw guys👍
Classic ending, got me to LOL
😉
You still working on John Adams? I had honestly forgotten about it until earlier today.
Indeed, scheduling with Emily has been difficult but it WILL happen!
@@ReelHistory oh, ok. That is understandable.
Great job, dudes.
I’m team Rock. But more importantly team Reel History! Looks intense, and I’ll be checking this out in the theaters.
Very wary of this type of film in the current political climate, and it will be a test of Apple Original Films.
Well, it is based on a real person. We shall see.
I will watch it.

The second trailer is much better than this one.
We agree!

Does he slap his way to freedom ?
Who doesn't enjoy seeing some slave owners slapped around?
Enslaved people emancipated themselves? With what power? What sway?

You're delusional. With a bias.
@@robyndismon394
No, I'm pertinent and pragmatic with perspective.
@@Geronimo_Jehoshaphat . . . .and with a large dose of delusion. That's my opinion, just like u stated yours.
@@robyndismon394
I don't require an opinion, I'm cognizant of reality existing with or without my cogence upon the matter.
SHUT UP until the trailer is over!!!Thumbs down For That.
Any actor other than Will Smith. Sorry, a bully playing a slave. Uh no.
Hopefully you stuck around until the end
Or someone who was at a breaking point. Chris Rock can sometimes be mean.
