remember them

There are already many such themes, but in fact, the plot is not very good. But this is an autobiography of one person, and everyone's life is wonderful. Whether it is purple or twelve years as a slave, what it actually brings is to face that history. Racism still exists, and there are still skins that look at them with colored eyes in America today.
The hero has always emphasized survival and live, survival is the foundation and life is the last.
Female slaves are willing to become "sex slaves" in order to not work. For their own benefit, white people always emphasize their own property to save them, not for their sake, they are commodities.
But that chorus still moved me.
Went down to the river Jordan,
Jordan crossed that river
where John baptised three
Well I woke the

devil in hell sayin John ain't baptise me John can't force me to teach I say; I say: Roll, Jordan, roll back, Jordan, go Roll, Jordan, roll back, Jordan, go back My soul arise in heaven , Lord God for the year when Jordan roll













Well some say John was a baptist
some say John was a Catholic
some say John was a Jew
But
I say John was a preacher of God
and
my bible says so too
my bible also says that it
is not fair to be born, you can only prove your equal status after death. In the end, there is no information on when and how this man who was committed to changing history died. Such a movie, recording his life, is like looking for a little sugar man. Their experiences are extraordinary and meaningful. But for various reasons, they were unknown and disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people. Remember them, that's what this type of film is about.

12 Years a Slave quotes

  • Ford: I believe Tibeats is skulkin' about the premises somewhere. He wants you dead, and he will attempt to have you so. It's no longer safe for you here. And I don't believe you will remain passive if Tibeats attacks. I have transferred my debt to Edwin Epps. He will take charge of you.

    Solomon Northup: Master Ford, you must know; I am not a slave.

    Ford: I cannot hear that.

    Solomon Northup: Before I came to you I was a free man.

    Ford: I am trying to save your life! And... I have a debt to be mindful of. That, now, is to Edwin Epps. He is a hard man. Prides himself on being a "nigger breaker." But truthfully I could find no others who would have you. You've made a reputation of yourself. Whatever your circumstances, you are an exceptional nigger, Platt. I fear no good will come of it.

  • Solomon Northup: [Solomon awakens Armsby in the middle of the night. He offers him a handful of coins] The proceeds of my fiddling performances. A few picayunes, but all I have in the world. I promise them to you if you will do me the favor I require. But I beg you not to expose me if you cannot grant the request.

    Armsby: What do you ask?

    Solomon Northup: First, your word, sir.

    Armsby: On my honor.

    Solomon Northup: It is a simple enough request. I ask only that you deposit a letter in the Marksville post office. And that you keep the action an inviolable secret forever. The details of the letter are of no consequence. Even at that, there would be an imposition of much pain and suffering were it known I was the author. A patron is what I require, sir.

    Armsby: Where is the letter now?

    Solomon Northup: It is not yet written. I will have it in a day. Two at most, my skill with composition as poor as it is.

    Armsby: I will do it. And will accept whatever payment is offered.
