"12 Years a Slave" is one of the favorite movies. I think it makes us think about discrimination both at that time and today. I knew black people worked in plantations as slaves, but this movie told me more about that serious situation. In each scene it was easy to understand their real life at that time. Moreover, this movie is nonfiction. I imagine if I were Solomon Northup. It's so terrible and I was sure I couldn't stand the life. He was actually a free black man, but he was kidnapped and forced to work on a plantation. Today the world still has multiple kind of discrimination from racial discrimination through sexual discrimination. It may be decreasing thanks to media coverage but will it ever end? If you watch 12 Years a Slave, you can consider our society's failing. I really recommend it.
