Memorable movie

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 it happen 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 that I feel a little sleepy when watching the movie, and I want to fast forward, the overall rhythm feels a bit messy, it is too flat and straightforward, there is no climax and no low, and the narration of the story is a one-stop rhythm, except for the process. In addition to some of the protagonist’s memories, 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 tangled relationships 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 it a second time, but the overall narrative is too plain. If you can't rest assured to appreciate the suggestions, it's better not to read it, otherwise you will scold your mother again.

    It is estimated that the other director will have to make a vulgar accusation film; McQueen is still as cruel as ever, and the long shots and sound arrangement are both catching designs. Limited by the story itself and the contemporary mainstream, some politically correct passages must always be added, but beyond this, what is commendable is that he created a huge and powerless atmosphere: among the black slaves, only a few have the spirit of resistance, more It is silence and indifference.

    Abandoning "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "Storm" media field free viewing, chose to watch the film out of his own pocket, but this choice is absolutely wrong. It cannot be said that "Being a Slave" is a good movie. The technical level is neat enough to become an industry benchmark. The noble values ​​seem to come for awards, just like the overly correct top students in the previous class, it’s okay to be a good student, but I am I don't like this kind of person.
