After watching the movie, I feel that Solomon is a normal person, especially what he said: I don't want to survive, I want to live. Think of the previous state, survival, live. I sympathize with Solomon, but feel that there must be something to hate about the poor man. Who told him to trust the person introduced by his friend at first? Later, he believed in an alcoholic. Even more nearly killed Huangquan. poor man.
A black woman with a son and daughter who was sold in the same boat as Solomon. Ask her why she was arrested. She said it was because of her carelessness that she lost the free card. It is also because after the death of the husband, the daughter of the husband and the ex-wife holds the power. Lie to her and sell her. There are no separate events. All are closely connected.
Solomon's first slave owner was played by the pig's feet in the detective Sherlock, which I liked. The class who saw the vested interests in him would not really help the slaves, saying that they still have debts. Although he liked Solomon and Solomon helped him, he sold him in the end. Saw weakness, powerlessness, insatiable greed. Are people all profit-seeking? Then I thought if I would save a sold slave? Will he betray the class with vested interests? In reality, act as a good employee, a good girl, and a good relative. To protect yourself? Ask for much? beg. . . . Think of the previous international trade. Do you only maintain the interests of the vested class and expect more from yourself?
The end of the movie is the subtitles. It is said that Solomon was one of the few slaves who was freed in the Civil War.
Darling, never believe that you are an exception? okay?
