Freedom asks for its existence

Rating: 10/10 (12 May 2020)

'12 Years A Slave' portrays a precise 1853 environment. The strong and serious vibes conveying the message of slave trade in 19th century points directly the presence of slavery sign in present era. Even in groups of 20 and 30 together, they're helpless to death's call. Slavery and racial discrimination although were in prime focus as shown in America during that era but that exist in other periods, including present day in many parts of world as well which can be conterminous to human trafficking, inequality and human rights violation as such.
The screenplay, the use of verbal skills were apt. Accents were spectacular. The songs in the farms and others scenes as shown were much needed. Solomon's continuous urge describing himself as 'freeman' make us realise what freedom actually means. The lynching of Patsey all over just a piece of soap was absolutely heart racking as the cruelty solely signifies how delirious a person can go for the obsession of totalitarian regimes. This movie puts humanity into an embarrassment, and why not!
