Good for Learning US History

Rating: 9/10 (16 January 2019)

12 Years a Slave is the most suitable movie to understand US history. I am a Japanese university student, and I have learned about US culture. I have already learned about slaves. However I could not understand how cruel it was. I was especially surprised about the scene where Solomon looked at a person who was hanging by the neck. I could not believe it. Through watching 12 Years a Slave, I could learn the reality of slavery. And I thought people should never do such a cruel things again.
