It's a really sad story.

1: The exploitation and oppression of black people by slavery is naked and bloody. Life is like a mustard. When a free man becomes a slave, he will lose any dignity and freedom. Some people have been educated in slavery since childhood, and they have been immersed in them since childhood. More than 200 years of enslavement education have made them lose the idea of ​​resistance. Honestly In fact, living a dark and painful slave life, as someone else's property, money can be used to measure the purchased items.

2: From ancient times to the present, women have been oppressed not only physically but also sexually, and their original desires never stop. Long beauty is also a sin sometimes, especially the flowers from poor soil are always more likely to be broken.

3: Even if the capitalists are good-natured, the differences in their positions still lead to the opposites between the capitalists and the proletariat, with few exceptions. The capitalists are in the position of exploitation and the proletarians are in the position of being exploited, it is difficult to balance.

I am very fortunate to live in China in a peaceful era, the country is prosperous and strong and the nation is rejuvenated. No one can trample our dignity at will. We can live in peace and joy. After watching this movie, the attitude towards life has become more grateful, and the concept of money. , the choice of money and freedom has also changed. I think I prefer to have more leisure time. I have a lot of busy days. I need to protect the weekends I finally got, and enjoy every free day.

    No matter how the so-called "mainstream" critics are overflowing with words of beauty this time; I look at it from an objective ~ higher than historical and pure aesthetic point of view-I think this film is very general. Except for the smooth details such as the photographic soundtrack, it is actually a very mediocre film. . Even the narrative is not compact/quite disorganized.. The director's skill is not yet ready~ mediocre control. Seeing that in the end, there is no real way from the perspective of human nature _ to let go or rise (vent) · sense of freedom ~ spirit/internal strength?

    Too worried. This situation of being a slave for twelve years can be seen in the long shot where Solomon stretched his long neck and hung from a tree, struggling to tiptoe up in the slippery mud. When I watched it, I hate that Uncle Christoph came to shoot Fa Shak headshot! I have to revisit and , first engage in psychological reconstruction, and secondly experience how a great white man who has changed human history can think and act beyond his race, origin and class.

12 Years a Slave quotes

  • Clemens: If you want to survive, do and say as little as possible. Tell no one who you really are and tell no one that you can read and write. Unless you want to be a dead nigger.

  • 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.
