Amazing movie

Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2015)

I feel that the movie really portrays the feelings of the time period and its hardships. The detail in the movie was so moving and vividly showed the pain slaves had to endure in the time period. If you do not enjoy violent and graphic movies I do not suggest this movie. Even though it was great it was pretty graphic in showing what the slaves went through. I got chills and felt horrible during the movie because it was graphic. Because it is based on a real event and book written by Solomon Northrup, I was really able to realize how these harsh things were a reality for African Americans at that time period. Although it was a bit too graphic for me because of the fact that these things actually happened, the purpose and meaning of the movie are what made it truly amazing.
