I couldn't hold back...

Rating: 10/10 (19 November 2019)

Considering the topic of this film is very tragic and horrific, throughout the entire film we see how Solomon(Chiwetel Ejiofor) loses his Freedom as he was once a free man aside from the fact that this whole slavery thing is utterly wrong for a human to be treated. But as for what really stood out in this film, or at least what made me teary-eyed were the performances, Lupita Nyong'O, Michael Fassbender, Chiwetel Ejiofor, these main actors that portrayed real-life people in the film really filled the imagination in terms of what slave owners were like as well as the slaves themselves and what they endured.
Great film overall, I got teary-eyed when Solomon was given the task of whipping Patsey instead of Epps doing it himself, but the scene that made me burst into tears was when Solomon finally returned home to his family in which have already developed into full-grown mature adults, and in this very scene he just can't keep it together and even apologizes for something that wasn't his fault. Truly captivating performance by Chiwetel.
