sure it's a good movie...

Rating: 7/10 (12 September 2014)

but I didn't think it was best picture material. A lot of movies have been made bout slavery and people acted like this was the first one. Of course, a movie about the subject is going to be good, but it's not an unique concept. And the girl that one the academy award wasn't on screen much and didn't do much. She had one big seen about her soap and that wins awards. I though the main guy, Solomon was really good and if any one should have won awards for acting it should have been him. And why did Brad Pitt have to cast himself as the one white guy against slavery, he just wanted to make himself look good.
FINAL VERDICT: Not a must see, a good movie if you want to see something about a serious subject.
