Review of 12 Years a Slave (2013) by Serge L — 21 Mar 2015

A period piece not too badly rendered. Everything looks like the period and we are plunged into the slavery years. Today, we can hardly believe something like this was possible at all. How could they not rebel? How could this system sustain itself. The answer is murder. The murder of niggers was never punished. Englishes, being mostly psychopaths in America, murdered niggers constantly. They did it because they could and because they love to kill. It is the only pleasure a psychopath has, so be careful with them.

Beautiful film. The story is great to start with. A man get abducted to be sold as slave. Since he was free in America, was fluent in talking and writing, his view is different from the regular enslaved nigger. This story hit more home than other slave stories of the Roman empire for example. We see the elements keeping the slaves in place, the slaverers in business and the abuses unpunished. The acting is excellent and rare are the glipses that they are not actually stuck in the predicament. A situation that was so extraordinarily simple to remedy for our hero. What an adventure! What other adventures would Solomon have written if he had survived his last period of his life?
