About fairness and justice
In the last scene, Solomon's eyes were really red when he said that he was sorry. It was his family who supported him to persevere. In these hellish twelve years, he had been awkward, flinched, and desperate, but he had survived.

Robert: All I know, we get where we travelling we'll wish we'd died trying.
Clemens: Survival is not about certain death, it is about keeping your head down.
Solomon Northup: Days ago I was with my family, in my home. Now you tell me all is lost. "Tell no one who I really am" if I want to survive. I don't want to survive, I want to live.
