After watching: Originally a person with a career and a family, suddenly suffered heavy losses in life and became a white slave. During this period, he was severely beaten, insulted, and abused, and he witnessed other black slaves being hanged for their mistakes. He did not give up the hope of freedom, and firmly believed that he could regain his freedom and that he could not fall because there were still people waiting for him.
Some people are graded from birth and they have no choice but to be enslaved just because they are black. On the one hand, he spurned the behavior of white people, and on the other hand, there was nothing he could do about it. The hardest part is that you know it's not right, but you can't change it.
I saw the perseverance in the male protagonist, as long as you don't give up, no one can enslave your soul. It's as if we are living in modern times, and suddenly one day life hits you with a critical blow and knocks you to the ground.
At this time, you have two choices, either compromise and accept your fate, or fight against it. You have the right to choose at any time in life, don't complain about why life hits you, try to think about what it can give you.
There is another white man in the movie who said to the slave owners, black and white are equal, you shouldn't treat them like this, if one day slavery is abolished, what will you do then.
Proof that there are still independent-minded people, not all white people are racist.
Finally, the black man returned to his home and found that the children had grown up and became a grandfather himself. He has been a slave for twelve years for the moment of reunion, as if all the suffering and grievances he suffered in the past have dissipated with the wind, and the reunion of the whole family is the most important thing at this moment. As long as you don't give up, no one can judge you to lose.
