After watching this and watching "The White House Steward", the two films said that the narrative methods are different, but they all point to the same theme, telling the oppression and resistance of black people. During the filming process, I thought of Obama, why didn’t I have it before? It is definitely not accidental that a movie like this came out. I think everyone should be able to understand it. Talking about the feeling when watching the movie, I feel a little sleepy, and I want to fast forward. The overall rhythm feels a bit messy, too flat and straightforward, there is no climax and no low, and the narrative method of the story is the rhythm of one stop, except for the process. In addition to the memories of the protagonist, the narrative is too single, but the overall story narrative is very complete so that I can understand what the movie is performing. However, this kind of movie is a kind of movie that you know at the beginning and end, but as a movie that reflects the racial discrimination of the US at that time, it is still very profound. It is worth watching, and it is also worth thinking about and passing the movie. Reproduce the complicated and entangled relationship between slaves and slaves, slaves and slave owners, slaves and slave owners and servants, and the difficulty of the hero escaping from slavery and regaining his freedom. The film not only talks about the discrimination between skin colors, but also reflects the inequality between levels and the loneliness, depression, and helplessness when people face difficulties. I didn't feel it when I watched this movie, but I still have a lot of aftertaste, depending on how you think. In a word, it feels: the aftertaste is still very tasty, it is worth watching the second time, but the overall narrative is too plain, if you can't rest assured to appreciate the suggestions, it is better not to read it, otherwise you will scold your mother again.

12 Years a Slave quotes

  • Clemens: If you want to survive, do and say as little as possible. Tell no one who you really are and tell no one that you can read and write. Unless you want to be a dead nigger.

  • Robert: I say we fight.

    Solomon Northup: The crew is fairly small. If it were well planned, I believe they could be strong armed.

    Clemens: Three can't stand against a whole crew. The rest here are niggers, born and bred slaves. Niggers ain't got the stomach for a fight, not a damn one.

    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.
