It's irritating how they keep saying...

Rating: 7/10 (10 November 2014)

A few of the characters in this film can clearly be seen calling the slave portrayed by Kerry Washington (Brunhilde) "Broom Hilda".
That's just freaking annoying. Broom Hilda is from a American comic strip in modern days. NO ONE from back then would ever accidentally call Kerry Washington's character "Broom Hilda".
Other than that HUGE irritation... I thought this film was well worth watching. I've never seen Jamie Foxx do such a great job (nor Don Johnson, for that matter).
I was emotionally affected (meaning, I sobbed) by scenes depicting the cruelty dealt toward slaves in this era (and make no mistake, there are STILL people being treated like this throughout the world).
Emotionally moving film. Made me cry, as mentioned. Just wish they would have gotten that ONE thing right with respect to the woman's name and I wouldn't have then thought, "I'm watching a movie where actors screw things up!"
