12 years a slave

[DudyDawg]

I didn't read all that you said (sorry), but I don't necessarily agree with you 61, at least the first few that I read. I mean, I know what you're saying, I do. But this happened. The exslave wrote a book about it with the same name and that's where te film came from. If it was just made up, I would agree. But since it's all true, I don't. I think it's a great film and honestly something people from the south should see. It helps you understand what really happened. Seeing it happen is different from reading it in a history book. And it's really well put together. It's one of a small group of movies that can actually affect you for more than a day or two.


ETA: read back. I see what you're saying 61, but that's really not how the movie goes. It's not focused on it bein southern or the south being racist, it's focused on what slaves went through. That's why it go nominated and why I said it's so good. It doesn't really focus on the south (doesn't go out of it's way to say it's in the south, and I don't even think it said what city he is in). It focuses solely on his struggle. It's really a good film, and I think important for people to see (me lobbying you to watch haha). I think you'll see less focus on painting the south bad as just telling you what one slave had to deal with. I think if you watch you'll be pleasantly surprised with the direction it takes.
