twelve years a slave

Living in a castle of marshmallows
full of needles
You ask me where I'm going
I bow my head and fiddle with my fingers and a
whip on my back and ass
You say I'm your treasure
I run to a forest full of beasts
Your brothers and sisters find me in the sun
You are roaring like a lion
, my hair is full of dust and
I have no right to hide from
you. You said that you have full control over
my rich son
, your traitor sister
, opened the cage
, cut my feet
, blown mines, and
my legs are still left . I raised my hands and
shouted at
me
I ran out of the marshmallow castle I made my
own decisions and chopped off my left hand
How happy
I was Grateful I'd rather be hungry than eat your bread I'd rather freeze to death than wear your boots I'd rather run like a wild beast in the forest than sit on your carpet and polish my shoes I run I run I'm out of breath Stop ' til your throat doesn't make a sound ' til your god opens his eyes

    He is restrained enough not to please, but uses the most frugal lens to convey the deepest emotions; sometimes kind and sometimes cruel, leaving no room, you can only bear it. This is obviously only Solomon's story, but why does each character live so real. Watching the movie for two hours forced me to think more about freedom, race, and its impact on the United States than in the previous 22 years. There is no subject that does not catch a cold, only works that are not good enough.

    Two shots are unforgettable: a three-minute long shot when Solomon was hanged, and the rest of the black slaves walked around, turning a deaf ear to this. This conflict is no longer confined to blacks and whites; when Solomon drew Patsey, a piece of blood bloomed. Fog, that whip smashed the light of human nature to pieces.

  • Radburn: Jus takin' a li'l trip, tha's all. Don't want to frighten the chil'ren none over a li'l boat ride, do yah?

  • Clemens: If you want to survive, do and say as little as possible. Tell no one who you really are and tell no one that you can read and write. Unless you want to be a dead nigger.
