A good movie in its category

Rating: 7/10 (25 April 2014)

12 years of slavery is an excellent film in its category of the film tracing the history of slavery. Besides the excellent actor sets, the film makes a very good state of the hardness of the slave system and injustice that currently prevails. Steve McQueen gives us a very sober movie and dark at once, purged of any unnecessary scenes where else too lenitive. No pretense here, it is indeed slavery with a lot of leather whips, rape and arbitrary sanctions.
However, we reproached him for the "simplicity" of the scenario somewhat Ordinary for a film of its kind, from capture to freedom through a series of events, not the least awful. Note the presence of some very constructive scenes which bear a reflection on the mental health of masters of slaves. We can therefore highlight several food for thought.
For the actor sets, it is simply perfect. A very skillful selection that we reveal to us the lovely Lupita Nyongo in a very touching role. The appearance of Brad Pitt is also to notice because despite his very brief intervention, it also bears an ideological turning point in the scenario.
Good movie at all, great acting skills but a basic scenario for those who have already enjoy from the great classics of slavery movies.
