It's OK for some to be free of to be slaves

Rating: Null/10 (16 October 2016)

Reluctantly I taped and watched 12 YaS, reluctantly because somehow I was prepared for it. It's not a very entertaining topic unless you have a taste for it. I read one of the comments stating he enjoyed the performance of the "evil" wife...To each their own! Once again the disparity of the comments shows how we can differ from each other's. Some acclaimed this work with such enthusiasm whilst other saw another Hollywood stunt for success. In my state of mind I wanted it to be done and over with just to get an idea of what it really was. ...***And then comes Brad Pitt, I could not believe it but it was- I'll say no more about it! The fact being it's a true story does not rate high in my estimation. I don't think anyone believe slavery is a fiction, and I kept thinking all along the film - so it's OK for those genuine slaved to endure this hell and ***SPOILER***thank God and Brad Pitt (hoops did I...) this guy nearly became a white man again. Off course I realise I must I missed the point.
