The movie itself is not particularly attractive, nor does it have a gripping plot. Even if Solomon is kidnapped, it is a matter of course. After all, is the name of the movie a slave for twelve years? Solomon's several efforts for freedom did not account for too much. For a long time, this is the same as the true story. A free man was kidnapped and said he was a slave. How could he prove himself? At that time, there was no DNA. Fortunately, he had a better friend in the end, and he dared to do it for him. Rushing to the plantation in the south, to be honest, in the end, whether it was the Canadian played by Brad Pitt or the shopkeeper, everything he did at the time was risky. After all, didn't both the North and the South go to war!

It is this ordinary plot, as well as some scenes of heart abuse, that let us see the most true history. Solomon is a free man, and we are also free men. If this backward system is still there, we might also be affected. Catch it and become an unremarkable one of the slaves. He will be punished for knowing how to read and write and want to escape. Thinking about it, the movie is shocking for this reason, and it gives the audience a deep sense of substitution.

There are several heart abuse places in the film. One is that when you were kidnapped, your hands and feet were chained. Even if you have a lot of strength, you can't get your freedom back. The other is that the overseer was jealous and almost hanged, even though the other overseer was jealous. The hanging process was prevented, but he did not put him down either. Solomon stood on tiptoe in the slippery mud. For the word “survive”, other slaves came and went, and the children played in the sun. The little slave girl secretly delivered water, all because he had a little more talent. The third is being informed by a drunkard, and when being questioned by the slave owner with a knife in the dark, he tried to make up lies to survive. Fourth, a black slave died of heatstroke. He sang under the leadership of a black slave. His expression went from being silent at first to singing together like a fate.

Of course, in the end he reunited with his family after he was free, whether they were already free before, or his friend helped him save them later, if it was the former, it would be a bit of a joke. If he is free, no matter how old he is, at least his mother is sure Knowing that Solomon’s first hand is Charlotte, and the second hand of Solomon is easy to investigate. If it is the latter, we know that her mother and the child must have been separated. The girl should have been bought by the asking price at the beginning, and the boy should have been separated. It is not easy to find them. He must be in the south. I saw them, and I shouldn't have come back home to see them for the first time. Also, when he went on loan to the judge's house, was the woman who was harmonious at night his wife, and if not, who was it? ?

    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.
