all evil slavery

As the saying goes: Experience is the only way to know pain. The film does not depict the overall situation and criticize the system, but through the protagonist's unusual life experience, the ruthlessness of the slave owners under the system, the slaves' fear, weakness, indifference, and their real tragic life, and the slave owners to them. The slaves are infused with slavery education and so on.
With numerous awards at various film festivals, this film truly deserves its name!
On the other hand, we have a society with a long history of slavery, and it is really a pity that there are no excellent works on such themes?

    The medium-length mirror that grows a little bit is used wonderfully, making all kinds of emotions hang over. The humiliating journey like the Odyssey, the content is correct, and the intensity is of the type of needle in the cotton. The soundtrack is sometimes overwhelming.

    Putting aside the praise of Rotten Tomatoes and the reputation of various film festivals, objectively speaking, I have not seen the shining points of the film. As a Chinese, I don't know much about the history of American history and slavery, and it is difficult to have sympathy; it is even harder to have a sense of substitution in such a slow and loosely paced film. Personally, I feel that telling stories with "hunger" and "shame" is too clever. The only thing that impresses is the acting skills of the Shark.

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.
