Twelve years as a slave

After watching the movie, I feel that Solomon is a normal person, especially what he said: I don't want to survive, I want to live. Think of the previous state, survival, live. I sympathize with Solomon, but feel that there must be something to hate about the poor man. Who told him to trust the person introduced by his friend at first? Later, he believed in an alcoholic. Even more nearly killed Huangquan. poor man.
A black woman with a son and daughter who was sold in the same boat as Solomon. Ask her why she was arrested. She said it was because of her carelessness that she lost the free card. It is also because after the death of the husband, the daughter of the husband and the ex-wife holds the power. Lie to her and sell her. There are no separate events. All are closely connected.
Solomon's first slave owner was played by the pig's feet in the detective Sherlock, which I liked. The class who saw the vested interests in him would not really help the slaves, saying that they still have debts. Although he liked Solomon and Solomon helped him, he sold him in the end. Saw weakness, powerlessness, insatiable greed. Are people all profit-seeking? Then I thought if I would save a sold slave? Will he betray the class with vested interests? In reality, act as a good employee, a good girl, and a good relative. To protect yourself? Ask for much? beg. . . . Think of the previous international trade. Do you only maintain the interests of the vested class and expect more from yourself?
The end of the movie is the subtitles. It is said that Solomon was one of the few slaves who was freed in the Civil War.
Darling, never believe that you are an exception? okay?

    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.

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.
