a concern

I now finally understand why the Oscars voted for this movie without having seen the movie when they voted.
The film's plain narrative and slow rhythm are really rare in today's film industry. Not to mention anything else, even a literary film lover like me can imagine the director's skill when he sees the rhythm that he can't sit still halfway through. Shen, of course, this kind of "can't sit still" is not because of how bad the movie is. Watching this kind of movie is like watching the life of a person who has a legendary experience every day, even though you know it must be very Interesting job, but if you don't take your eyes off this person for a moment, you'll get bored a lot of the time.
Since the film was released, as far as I have observed, several film critics I usually follow have exaggerated it, but I didn't know until I saw it myself that their evaluation of the film was more based on "movies" At the level of "art", after all, they don't know much about politics, history and even culture, so it's understandable to boast. Of course, if you ask me to talk about this movie, I will first tell you that it's very good, and it can even be considered The last epic film about black people, the epic film is not a hat to be buckled casually, but the epic film is not as good as you think. It must have all kinds of high-level elements. The special experience of an ordinary person, if it is If it matches the melody of the times, the status of epic can be mentioned completely. In this regard, I think "Touching Country X" has done quite well.
But even the best theme has its flaws. The flaw of this movie is that although it explains the problem clearly, it doesn't give a solution at all! The most direct manifestation is in the setting of the character of Brad Pitt. I feel that the character should not appear in such a movie at all. His appearance is obviously a foul, there is no sign and no foreshadowing, just like God. Make this story a happy ending, I mean the performance in the movie here, don't tell me it's the truth, I know this movie is based on a true story, I said it at the beginning, I'm not blind, but You managed to get all the audience into the play and feel that this Nima is really a society with a lot of hatred and hatred, and then a handsome guy popped up out of nowhere to get things done, what do you mean!
Another thing to say is that I am very disgusted with the changes in American culture in recent years. Almost everyone is following the trend and setting up FLAG. Although there are many good works in it, if you combine a little with the political environment of the American imperialists, you will feel disgusted. 8 -0.5 points (a good movie, but deduct 0.5 points for the wrong direction)

    It is not simply the race, the indifference of the same kind, the indifference of human nature, the despair and helplessness of human beings.

    The soundtrack (or similar soundtrack) is very thoughtful. The front, middle and back three long shots are pressed into the array. The clever flashbacks on the structure of Shunxu are laid out. …The rhythm of all these aspects is quite likable. In this case, I will not discuss whether the story is my favorite subject.

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.
