    When Solomon picked up the whip and beat Patsey, the blood mist that rose up was indeed a bit shocking, and it was visually terrifying.

    Abandoning "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "Storm" media field free viewing, chose to watch the film out of his own pocket, but this choice is absolutely wrong.
