Slavery was a rocky subject for all black artists. The heavier it is, the easier it is to perform abnormally. In an attempt to make an epic effort, it accidentally loses personal style. Steve McQueen, whose elders had experienced slavery firsthand, not only had the ambition to make a slavery movie, but also the method. "I was looking for an angle to get into slavery, and then I found the book "Twelve Years a Slave", a free man who was sold into slavery because of kidnapping. The angle of choosing freedom is because, in fact, Every one of us can be him." Such a choice is undoubtedly wise, and the audience, as foreign to slavery as the deceived Solomon, sees the cruel details for the first time through his eyes. At the same time, it can also trigger resonance thinking, when the most fundamental dignity is violated, when all original identities are deprived, how should a person recognize himself and how to exist in extreme destiny.
