Terribly amazing

Rating: 9/10 (20 December 2015)

I think this movie is a movie everyone needs to see. It shows the brutal truth of America's history that so many people want to ignore or not realize it was as deplorable as it really was. For over 200 years, black people were treated as nonhuman objects to be abused and taken advantage of until they died. This movie is an amazingly well written and produced film with an outstanding cast. It makes you feel so many things; anger, fear, disgust, sadness, and pain. It was at times quite difficult to watch, but I think that's what it's purpose was. It was so moving yet painful to watch, especially being a black woman. Knowing that this is what my ancestors actually went through tears me apart and angers me. However, I did enjoy this film very much.
