A beautiful insult

Rating: 8/10 (20 March 2019)

My rating is based on just the movie. It is a beautiful movie. But it is not just a movie because of its subject matter. It is a huge insult to all the slaves. This movie sympathises with the slave owners and pretends as if the institution of slavery was not one of the greatest horrors of recent history. It is just as if someone made a movie sympathising with the Nazis and showing them as the good guys. No one would celebrate a movie like that. I don't understand why this one is celebrated.
