Toussaint Louverture, No White Hero, No Movie?

What? The Hero is Black?
The Hero is Haitian?

Look up in the sky!
It's a bird!
It's a plane!

Oh No! It's Toussaint! Toussaint Breda!

Some call him Toussaint L'Ouverture, others call him The Black Napoleon.

It's Toussaint, the little self educated black Haitian slave with no military experience who beat the living crap out of the white Emperor of the French, the white King of Italy, the white mediator of the Swiss Confederation, The white protector of the Confederation of the Rhine, The great and white Napoleon Bonaparte!

What the hero is a Black man? Hell No!

"It's a nice project, a great project... but... where are the white heroes?"

This is what the producers are asking American actor Danny Glover who is planning to shoot an epic black movie next year about the great Toussaint L'Ouverture.

"Toussaint," scheduled to be shot in Venezuela early next year, will star Don Cheadle, Mos Def, Wesley Snipes and Angela Bassett.

"The first question you get," Danny says to the press in Paris " is 'Is it a black film?' All of them agree, it's not going to do good in Europe, it's not going to do good in Japan... Somebody has to prove that to be a lie! Maybe I'll have the chance to prove it."

Apparently, this time the hero is a black man,

"Toussaint" is about Francois Dominique Toussaint Louverture (1743-1803), the Haitian slave who defeated Napoleon Bonaparte.

What? The Hero Is Black?

Toussaint Louverture, the first black leader in the western Hemisphere, is a former Haitian slave and one of the fathers of Haiti's independence from France in 1804, making it the first black nation to throw off imperial rule and become a republic.

This is Danny Glover's first project as a movie director and it is not a tiny movie, it is an epic film. An epic film is among the most expensive of films to produce.

When the hero is a White Man!

A good example of an epic war movie is Troy, an epic movie about the Trojan war. The only difference is the hero is Achilles, a white man, played by Brad Pitt.

Troy was nominated for an Oscar, it won 3 awards including the ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards, and was nominated 17 more awards including the Awards of the Japanese Academy.

Now the hero is a Black man, Can they dig it!

Haiti has been, for a long time, paying the price for standing up for liberty.

Haiti has been, for a long time, ignored and isolated for forcing the white man to lay down his whip and learn to respect the black man.

Haiti has been, for a long time, a threat to the world order for allowing the black man to stare at the white man in the eye as his equal.

Out of Haiti, the black Mecca, the single place on earth that every black man should visit at least once in their lifetime, which has for a long time been misrepresented and stereotyped as "The Poorest," a negative ad campaign set up to associate "BLACK" with "POOREST", was born a hero and the greatest black story ever told.

Now the question is: Can white movie goers sit in a movie theater and watch the black hero defeat the one of the greatest French generals who ever lived?

This is not science fiction, it is a true story.

The producers say "no way, not without a white hero!" This is the status quo, this is the world order, but NOT according to Haitian history books!

What do you say?

Mr. Danny Glover, go for it, do it, this great Haitian story has been buried for too long.

Sasaye di:

Ki kote w wè ke pwodiktè blan yo di ke Danny Grover pa kalifye pou li pwoduy yon fim e se sak fè yo pavle finanse l? Kilès ki di w se premye fim nèg la pwoduy?

Mwen pa pale de pwodiksyon ! Mwen pale de direksyon.
Yo di ke se premye fwa ke Danny Glover pral chita sou chez direkte pou li dirije yon film epik.
Danny Glover se yon akte ke li ye e se premye fwa ke li pral dirije yon film biografi konsa. Al reli sa ke’l te ekri yo.
Sasaye di :

Menmjan blan pat vle rekonèt endepandans Ayiti pou yo pa bay nèg kredi pou yon viktwa kont blan epi pou yo pa bay nèg ki anba yo movèz ekzanp.

Ou byen se manti wap bay. Ou byen se ti liv komik wap li toujou.
Neg intellijan kankou'w konnen istwa peyi w e relasyon internasyonal.
Tout obolisyonist blan yo e anpil lot peyi bay Ayiti kredi pou independans li jiskaske anpil peyi pran egzanp sou Ayiti pou yo libere tet yo.

Sa w padi e admet se ke anpil peyi nan zonn nan te gen esklav la kay yo e ekonomi peyi sa yo te repoze sou bizniss e sou do esklav yo.
Donk li patap fe sans si gwo biznissman sa yo ta rekonnet indepandans e libete esklav sa yo aloske yo gen esklav lakay yo tou.
Tout bagay sa yo sete yon kestyon de bizniss e intere.
Nike e Addidas, Gucci, Thommy Hilfinger etc.. konnen tre byen gen timoun an Inde, Vietnam, Haiti, St Dimink kap travay kom esklav pou fe mayo, rad, chemizett, soulye tennis etc... kap vand pou $150 a $200 dolla ke jwe basketball Hip Hop star akte elatrye kap fe de million dolla chak anne mete sou yo.
Eske yo mande kiyes ki fe rad ak soulye sa yo e nan ki kondisyon????

Sa pap gen anyen pou we ak bay neg kredi pou yon viktwa kont blan epi pou yo pa bay nèg ki anba yo movèz ekzanp. Meye gade realite a an fas mon fre.
Menm apre viktwa nou, Dessalines te gen esklav nan plantasyon lakay li.
Henry Christophe bati La Citadelle La Ferriere e palais 365 pot la sou do esklav li yo!! La verite blesse se vre, men fok nou mete GNB nou pou di’l. Fok nou atake tou le 2 bô de listwa, san bay manti pou fe tineg plezi

Venezuela would contribute 3.8 million dollars, which were approved by the National Assembly.
O komanseman, Chavez te di ke li tap bay $18.00 million.

In statements to the Bolivarian News Agency, Almarza pointed out that the script remains unchanged, as well as production agreements in the country, with participation of 50 percent of Venezuelan professional, technical or artistic personnel. The agreement says that 30 percent of the cast and 100 percent of the extras will be Venezuelan.

Yon film sou istwa yon hero ayisyen, peson pa mande kote patisipasyon ayisyen yo!!
Fok nou mande pou kisa menm yon pati nan film nan pa filme lakay nou????
Eske se paske nou pa gen akte la kay nou???
Ki jan fe menm ti extra yo pa banou. A la de traka????

Almarza added that big producers are not interested in producing a film dealing with an anti-slavery movement. Glover himself admitted he is having problems to raise funds, because big producers are complaining about "Toussaint" being "a black film."

Se pa vre!! Prodikte yo pavle mete kob yo deho pou yon film ke Danny Glover pral dirije pou la premye fwa.
Danny pa direkte!! Danny se yon Akte!!!
Si li vle jwe wol Toussaint, se tre byen. Men kom direkte, mwen ta preferre, Anthonin, ou byen, Peck, ou byen Spike Lee.
Mwen ta remen ke pliske mwatye nan cast yo se ayisyen e mwen ta remen we mwatye nan film nan filme an Ayiti tou. Men de kisa pou nou pale!!!
Sispand pale de nwa e blan!! Nou konnen istwa sa yo deja.

Revelasyon,

Poukisa wa p chèche midi a katoz è lè atik la di:


Almarza added that big producers are not interested in producing a film dealing with an anti-slavery movement.

Glover himself admitted he is having problems to raise funds, because big producers are complaining about "Toussaint" being "a black film."

Ou enteprete saa jan pa w lè w ensiste ke se paske Grover pa gen eksperyans kom direktè. Ou dwe konnen ke lan bisnis, trèsouvan si yon konpanyi pa vle anplwaye yon neg, youn lan eskiz ki pi fasil se di moun nan pa gen eksperyans.
Men se pa sa k rive laa.

Apa Denzel dirije yon fim pou premye fwa ki gen anpil siksè.
Gen anpil aktè ki vin direktè san pèsonn pa di yo pa gen eksperyans.

Mwen dako lan pwendevi ke ayisyen te dwe gen plis patisipasyion lan fim nan kom aktè ou teknisyen etc...

Anko yon fwa, lè yon moun poste yon atik, se pa li ki ekri atik la, li pa menm oblije dako ak sa k ekri ladann. Li kapab pibliye l pou moun sa konnen sa k ap pase.

Kenbe la mon frè.
