This is not a simple movie, but a biography. The film calmly tells the history of black slavery in a light narrative style, without sympathy, as long as you understand...

Putting aside the praise of Rotten Tomatoes and the reputation of various film festivals, objectively speaking, I have not seen the shining points of the film. As a Chinese, I don't know much about the history of American history and slavery, and it is difficult to have sympathy; it is even harder to have a sense of substitution in such a slow and loosely paced film. Personally, I feel that telling stories with "hunger" and "shame" is too clever. The only thing that impresses is the acting...

It's a pretty good-looking movie. The most inexplicable accusation against this film is to put on a disdain of "huh, political correctness", neurosis, and the subject of black slaves is political correctness? Was accused of yin and yang weird for this? This kind of subject matter can't be photographed or...

This is the first time I have seen such a calm, effective and critical use of multiple long shots in a mainstream Hollywood movie. McQueen has truly integrated his style into the Hollywood system and is more mature than it was in Hunger. In fact, this story about personal suffering and national tragedy is still extremely universal, beyond the scope of black movies. Worthy of an Oscar is the...

Solomon Northup was originally a free man, made a living playing the violin, had a wife and two children, and lived a happy life. Unexpectedly, he was deceived by two white men who thought they were the accompaniment of a circus performance. He went to Washington and woke up to find that he had...

Twelve Years a Slave: Reflecting on a Dark Moment in History
Regarding the suffering of black slaves before the American Civil War, I have seen many films and literary works over the years. I didn't expect to see this "Twelve Years as a Slave", only to find that the despair and pain of black slaves have never been revealed so deeply.
The former northern free...

Hamilton: I'm afraid that Brown and I haven't brought you much luck. But rough waters bring smooth sailing. Eventually they do.
Solomon Northup: So... so sorry...
Hamilton: Shhh. We won't hear it. We won't.
Brown: Let him sleep.
Hamilton: Hmm. A good night's sleep. And tomorrow... tomorrow you will feel as well and refreshed as though the earth were new again.
Brown: Hamilton! Nothing more we can do for him.
Hamilton: Such is the pity.

Burch: Well, my boy, how yah feel now?
Solomon Northup: I am Solomon Northup. I am a free man; a resident of Saratoga, New York. The residence also of my wife and children who are equally free. I have papers. You have no right whatsoever to detain me...
Burch: Yah not any...
Solomon Northup: And I promise you - I promise - upon my liberation I will have satisfaction for this wrong.
Burch: Resolve this. Produce your papers.
[Solomon searches and finds no papers]
Burch: Yah no free man. And yah ain't from Saratoga. Yah from Georgia. Yah ain't a free man. Yah nuthin' but a Georgia runaway. Yah a runaway nigger from Georgia.
