Touching! 8/10

Rating: 8/10 (17 May 2014)

Review: There can't be anyone in there right mind that can watch this movie and not feel hate, sadness and sympathy during this film. It nearly brought me to tears how these individuals were so mistreated just for there colour of skin. It took me some time to get out of that zone after watching the movie because I felt so emotional and disturbed. With these things in mind, it's mainly due to the director and his extremely deep vision that could have made a movie touch so many hearts, and the excellent performance by Chiwetel Ejiofor who must have found it difficult to play such a role. All of the actors put in real performances which made the movie believable and heart warming. You do have to be in the right mood to watch this film because the whole mood is extremely deep and, in some ways, shocking. Anyway, I'm so glad that it won the academy award because it definitely deserved it. A Must Watch!
Round-Up: I'm not one that is usually into period dramas, but this movie covers a period that touched my heart. You can't help but think, what would you do in that position, but you can never imagine how it must have been for the people who had to go through such an awful nightmare. Anyway, the director picked his cast very well and he made use of there acting skills to tell this impelling story.
Budget: $20million Worldwide Gross: $188million
I recommend this movie to people who are into there extremely deep period dramas about slavery in early America. 8/10
