Goodbye Uncle Tom – Dir Cut (1971)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

About:
This version is referred to as both the Director’s Cut and Original Cut.

Even though Goodbye Uncle Tom is not the mondo we’re used to from the masters, Jacopetti-Prosperi, old habits die hard and this is a film presented as a documentary shot by a bunch of Italians who are intrigued and shocked by slavery in America. At the time of release, it was widely criticized as being an exploitative racist movie, when in fact it’s a sympathetic work that uses Jacopetti-Prosperi’s trademark dark humor while taking a look at misery and the elaborate operational efforts and dehumanization that went into successfully running the business of slavery in America. The other side, reverse racism is also presented, well ahead of its time.

Unlike a lot of movies with different cuts that are usually censorship related, it’s probably worth watching both versions:
1. They have sufficiently different footage.
2. The editing is different.
3. Some scenes that overlap are interpreted differently, either through the use of a voiceover or otherwise.
4. The same scenes sometimes have missing/additional footage that changes their impact. For example, the scene of runaway slaves being hunted is more detailed here, but ends in a way that is lighthearted. The Italian Cut however has some additional footage of dead bodies being dragged and severed heads carried like trophies.

I was going to skip the director’s cut but I decided to watch it since I am watching every film on EUM (6 movies to go). I wasn’t looking forward to it because in the Italian cut the subtitles went by so fast you could barely read them. I was super glad to discover the director’s cut is in English and it was much more fun to watch. It’s a hilarious film and even more hilarious that the film makers tried to convince everyone that it is not an exploitation film. I like this version better than the Italian cut. 3 and a half stars.

According to the NSDAP, Christianity was the basis and first consolidator of the Germanic state:

In contrast to the exclusively divergent tendencies of the individual tribes, Christianity offered the first consciously perceived and emphasized commonality. Christianity thus offered a possible religious and ideological basis for the establishment of a state organization that was not and could not be of a uniform tribal character […] Christianity offered this first Germanic state formation, that is, this first unification of all German tribes into a higher, ideologically religious and thus morally common ideology.

Filmed in Haiti with the enthusiastic participation of dictator Papa Doc Duvalier, who had lunch with the wop directors every week and supplied unlimited extras. There’s a great documentary online about the directors called Godfathers Of Mondo that’s also very interesting.
Anyway 5 stars niggers, you’ve done good.
