Slave movie

Rating: 3/10 (18 February 2014)

This movie was not about Lincoln. This was about slavery.
This is the typical highly acclaimed "Oh God, slavery was so sad" movie. It completely discredits Lincoln's achievements and gives a very peculiar image of that period of time.
If you want to watch a movie about Lincoln's life, this is not the movie for you. If you want to learn about the American Civil War, stay away from this. If you want to cry about how terrible slavery was, this is perfect. If you want a just review of the treatment of black people, this is not right.
Ultimately, prepare to be disappointed by a white-guilt for black-slaves movie. Unless you're a white person that feels guilty about what his distance ancestors did yourself, of course.
(Note: I might come across as racist now, I assure you I just don't care what skin color you have. Nor any other arbitrary property like age, ethnicity, etc. I just don't enjoy seeing these biased crymovies about inequality when there's still so much of it in the world. As if black people integrated into American society now. Whatever. Politics. Didn't like the movie. But: if you feel I should give you extra chances because of your skin color you're more racist than me.)
