The best picture of this year's Oscar. The whole film is very neat, several long shots such as hanging and caning are very powerful, the leading role and the actress are very good, and some details are also handled perfectly. But I don't know why I feel that I am still a little short of five stars. The best Oscar films are often such "blockbusters" that are too neat and tall and adapted from real events. A good film is a good film, but it is always lacking in spirituality and surprises. (7.5/10)

General, not deep enough
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.
