Abuse the eyes but not the heart

I finished watching "Twelve Years as a Slave" with great expectations last night.
So is it an eternal truth to say that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment?
The flashback at the beginning is a very clear explanation of why Solomon turned from a free man to a slave. The black slave who was stabbed to death on the slave ship, the slave who was taken and raped by the slave trader but was full of numbness. , During the slave trade, mother and son were forced to separate Solomon was forced to play the violin to cover up the cry of the bridge, well until here I am still full of expectations for this movie. After tossing from the volume to the metamorphosis, then from the metamorphosis to the judge, and finally back to the metamorphosis, loose and loose, like a white horse for twelve years, Solomon, the darling daughter of the abnormal planter, Patsy, the metamorphosis plantation The owner and his wife have not changed their people, personality, style of work, and even their hair style. Director, director, if it weren’t for the progress bar to remind me that the movie is almost gone, Solomon’s wife is getting old and children. When I grow older, I really think that Solomon is just beginning to be abused.
Solomon was hanged on his neck when talking about abuse. Solomon and the carpenter Brad Pitt (who played everything, how to break it). After the exchange, the long-shot close-up of hope to despair was considered to be a close-up. Solomon returned home 12 years later. Saying I'm sorry to my wife and children is counted as a sudden visit, and the rest can be regarded as mediocre. Maybe the director thinks he wants to have some visual impact and let the audience feel that the life of a black slave is hard and inhuman, so the flogging that beats people to the ground is the director's favorite in the play. So the director, I want to tell you that although the actor's performance of the painful cry and the welts are true and believable, these are far less thrilling than Solomon's desperate expression?
Besides, the director still wants to express people's indifference. The wife of Juan Fu is indifferent when she sees Solomon being hanged, and the indifference of the perverted daughter-in-law and Mrs. Shaw (representative of black slaves) can you portray the indifference carefully? I thought that the perverted wife was a person with a story, so I asked Solomon to buy things. I even wondered if she had other ideas and compassion. In the end, she was just a poisonous woman who was jealous of Patsy and went crazy. The director wanted to express too many things and thoughts, mixed together to show, but there was a situation of being taller in the scorpion. Convinced? no! Contradictory side of the characters? Fortunately, Solomon counted. The white slave who collected the money for the bad thing barely counted. As for the perverted planter, the slave-killer who thought he was brilliant before the show opened, except for the pervert and his wife who scolded him as a castrate. , The others really have no memory points.
