A smart mainstream movie that hides the cruelty in a peaceful and harmonious environment and makes people feel cold after watching it. I hope everyone can live equally and freely.

4.5. Reproduce the history of slave trade. In that period of distinct hierarchical systems, the lowly status of the blacks made people sad. If you change to a director who is good at making commercial films, it might be a shocking epic. However, McQueen still maintained his personal style, and the whole movie is more realistic, focusing on recreating the real trivial lives of black slaves, and the psychological coexistence of depression and explosion. The terrible scars on the back are the mark of longing for freedom
Brown: Circus too constricting a word to describe the talented and merry band with which we travel. It is a spectacle unlike most have ever witnessed. Creatures from the darkest Africa as yet unseen by civilized man. Acrobats from the Orient able to contort themselves in the most confounding manners.
Hamilton: And I myself in aide of Mr. Brown; an internationally renowned practitioner in the art of prestidigitation.
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.
