Twelve years as a slave

There are no lack of heavy and touching good stories under the black slavery system. This story, which is based on real characters, is undoubtedly a good subject. But what I think of is another TV about black slaves I watched when I was a child, and I didn’t know the movie. It impressed me more deeply and heavier. Strong visual impact. In this play, the director may wish to show the contradictions and versatility of the characters of the various classes of slavery in many ways, but it feels a bit scattered. There is also a slight lack of portrayal of the protagonist's psychological changes in the past twelve years, and there is a slight lack of continuity between the restoration of the identity of the free man at the end.

Can the flogging scene be left in film history? A white young man sitting on my right with a tattoo on his arm was full of tears at the moment when the lights came on, which was shocking. In addition, if this movie can win the Golden Man, the theme of the Oscars for two consecutive years will be "Canada Save the Actor".

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.
