A powerful story about black slavery

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 2015)

I just felt so saddened and upset by looking at this movie. Why on earth did those men who were meant to be kind just betrayed Solomon North up like that? I swear, this film makes you so darn angry by the way the whites treated the blacks, it was cruel, disgusting and shameful. What did they do to deserve the abuse? Absolutely nothing! I felt like I wanna show the abusers the pain that their victims felt whenever they decide to hurt them. It is wrong!
There were a lot of scene's hard to watch for example: the rape, whip and fist beating, it just makes you feel like you wanna vomit in seconds. It was so bad but yet, the movie was excellent. I was surprised to see the movie legends Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender and Benedict Cumberbatch appear so late in the film. Cumberbatch came first at 30 minutes into the film. Fassbender came second at 54 minutes into the film. Then Pitt decides to come way late at 1 hour and 42 minutes into the film. I was kinda wondering why they all didn't appear at the beginning? I found that quite very odd to be honest. Normally all characters come at the beginning of a movie but I suppose it's nice to be different at the same time so I'll just have to accept that it is a fact on this film!
I honestly thought the movie was very emotional, overwhelming and powerful. It gives us a feeling of going back into the time where extreme ignorance of a person's color was a sin to the human race.
