Brilliant telling

Rating: 8/10 (31 December 2015)

The story told is one of brilliant execution. How the life of someone can dramatically change within a few seconds just because the of the time and because of the slavery at the time. The excellent portrayal by M.Fassbender and B.Cumberbatch of ranch owners shows the hardship of labour and slavery. Even the remorse shown by Benedict's character was flattened by what could happen if he went soft on his slaves. The Story shows how much pain he goes through and the eventuality of meeting Brad Pitt's character was heartwarming to know that someone out there was looking down solemnly onto him. The Ending was very basic but was what the film needed with a happy reunion of the family once more.
