The Birth of a Nation (2016)

Goofs

The Birth of a Nation

Edit

Continuity

When Bridget dies, Nate carries her body out of the building. No way could he lift that large a woman. Its obviously not her body, but that of a much smaller woman.
At about 25 minutes in you can see Nat Turner patching a hole in the corner of the house. He gets distracted without finishing by the new slave being introduced to the masters wife as a gift and the camera is panned towards the front door. When it goes back to showing him you can see the hole still isn't filled but is nearly compared to how he left it. Then the camera cuts in on a closer shot and the hole is completely filled/covered before we see Nat do a swipe down with his scraper.

Factual errors

Nat Turner is shown heroically giving himself up by walking into a militia encampment where is surrounded by soldiers who seize him. He does this because Black people are being massacred while he is missing.

Actually, Turner was found two months after his rebellion began by a white farmer while hiding in a hole in the ground that was covered by fence rails.
Nat quotes says he is quoting from Peter 2:18; the correct book of the Bible that he quotes from is 1 Peter 2:18.

Anachronisms

The accents used in the film are typical of the modern Deep South, not of early-19th-century Tidewater, Virginia.
