I never deny that I am not so close to black movies, just as I used to be not so close to my Indian colleagues during my work. Maybe in my heart, I really have a tendency to discriminate against skin color.

In the 5000-year history of human civilization, there is only one real progress, which is to break the inequality of skin color. Although the discrimination or inequality of skin color is still everywhere, at least, the mainstream concept of skin color equality has been established in this world. The next problem that may be solved is homosexuality. Although Europe has taken the lead, just imagine, to recognize same-sex marriage in the celestial dynasty, will the 10th government have enough time? In a world where universal values ​​are not universal enough, mankind still has a long way to go.

After being betrayed by the white man and smashing the violin, Solomon Northup has basically chosen to give up. But he is undoubtedly the lucky one among the lucky ones. Brad Pitt's position in Hollywood today can be a producer, or he can freely choose to play a redeemer. Michael Fassbender plays better than the protagonist. His feelings for Patsey are not vain. It is definitely not as simple as pure sensuality, but limited by identity, he is more incapable of himself. . He is just a pure slave owner, his philosophy has been passed down for generations, and there is no way to break it from the heart.

    Using the seemingly simplest methods of changing the angle of space and length of time to pull the audience into the picture is McQueen's unique skill. His movement or motion of each shot always has the most expressive meaning and the most direct impact. The frankness and passion of this person under the calmness are also vividly reflected in this epic story about survival. Silent compassion and powerless resistance accumulate over time. The moment of rescue is far from the end of human tragedy.

    Of course being a slave for 12 years is very miserable, so what if we have been slaves for 24 years here?

12 Years a Slave quotes

  • Solomon Northup: We need a sympathetic ear. If we have an opportunity to explain our situation...

    Clemens: Who in your estimation is that sympathetic ear?

    Solomon Northup: The two men I journeyed with. I'm certain they're making inquires at this very moment.

    Clemens: I would be just as certain they are counting the money paid for delivering you to this place.

    Solomon Northup: They were not kidnappers. They were artists. Fellow performers.

    Clemens: You know that? You know for certain who they were?

    [Solomon cannot answer]

    Clemens: How I reckon the situation: whatever past we had... well, that's done now. The reality to come is us being transported southward. New Orleans if I were to venture. After we arrive, we'll be put to market. Beyond that... Well, once in a slave state I suppose there's only one outcome.

  • Radburn: Jus takin' a li'l trip, tha's all. Don't want to frighten the chil'ren none over a li'l boat ride, do yah?
