As the saying goes: Experience is the only way to know pain. The film does not depict the overall situation and criticize the system, but through the protagonist's unusual life experience, the ruthlessness of the slave owners under the system, the slaves' fear, weakness, indifference, and their real tragic life, and the slave owners to them. The slaves are infused with slavery education and so on.
With numerous awards at various film festivals, this film truly deserves its name!
On the other hand, we have a society with a long history of slavery, and it is really a pity that there are no excellent works on such themes?

12 Years a Slave quotes

  • 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.
