Reviews

steamboatmice The images are seems so real. The environment wanted to share is collapsing the audience.

donafebw 12 Years of Slave I can even felt my back hurts sometimes during whip scene. The trailer said it based on reality but feels like its not. its too dark too be true. And lupita was very beautiful on this movie

agungwibisono0724 This is kind of type of a great film but you just had enough watch in the first time.

aroxs123 I really enjoyed the movie. I thought it was very moving and real unlike most movies that depict slavery. It is such a sad thing to see but I feel as if the director and producers did an amazing job with the delivery of the whole thing. I felt as if I were in the production myself. The scene where Patsey is tied to the tree and has to be whipped and the plantation owner makes Solomon do it is so heartbreaking, and even when the mother gets separated from her children I felt her pain. Solomon tries his best to survive in the conditions that he is subjected to, especially being a freeman that was captured into slavery. I think he does his best to try and keep his head up and towards the end of the movie it all pays off and the ending is somewhat joyous because he finally is reunited with his family, but the ending of the movie also reveals that the men that sold him into slavery faced no repercussions. Overall I enjoyed the movie very much.
