like Dumas and for that reason I did not go see the movie The Other Dumas of Nebbou. height of the recent experience BHL I said, but because this film has it documented on the character? since obviously he did not know certain things. he foolishly ignored them?, he ignored them knowingly?, he pretended to ignore them? hard to say, hard to believe. I think that this is something very very missed, serious blunder, a big challenge ... to make a movie about the negro taking an author, and forget the blackness of that ... Depardieu who say that more like Dumas? Depardieu does not need anyone to be like the character he plays, but is there no black actors in France? it would have been important to open that door at that moment, I think lots of young people could have seen this in a different light panthéonisée old beard of French literature, and can be read ... and take some pride or happiness. if we tell the story, General Alexandre Dumas was born a slave in Haiti in 1762, his father Thomas Alexander born a slave in St. Domingo, the son exchange against a boat ticket for the city where he must recover a legacy . the son ends up joining a father became Marquis of Pailleterie, and enlisted as a dragon rider in the name of Alexandre Dumas.

In 1802 Napoleon restored slavery, the army is hunting Negroes and colored people , no exceptions: the general without pay estimated dies of spite. the orphan black devil, little Alex will be private college scholarship, which does not prevent him from writing and later pass on to his hero a little bit of soul this father
Anatole France said at the centenary of the death of General: "The greatest of Dumas, the son of the negress, the General Alexandre Dumas The Pailleterie, the winner of the St. Bernard and the Mont-Cenis, the hero of Brixen. He offered his life sixty times to France, was admired by Bonaparte, and died poor. Such an existence is a masterpiece in which there is nothing to compare. " but the statue was pulled down in 1940, there is no chance she was never replaced.
