Solomon was trafficked by greedy whites and lived in slavery for 12 years, which did not kill his will to freedom. In the end God helped him and set him free.
The biggest impression that this film gave me is that it takes a lot of courage to never give up.
Solomon was a well-educated violinist. After being accidentally sold into slavery, the slave's life was very different from the original life. The physical abuse was riddled with abuse, and the spiritual abuse was destroyed at all times. with the heart of a slave. If there is no strong willpower, after so much torture and deception, the only outcome can only be the attrition and death of life.
In an era when the black slave trade was legal, with whom could a black person talk about freedom and equality?
Against the background of the times, Solomon won his freedom after 12 years of forbearance with the courage of not giving up. In today's prosperous world, too many people are lost in their own cages, without the courage to break through, nor the perseverance to endure, and finally live as a twisted self.
In those days, the external resistance was the biggest resistance. Breaking through the external resistance sometimes required paying the price of life, but even if the price of life was paid, many resistances could not be eliminated, and we could only wait for the real time to come. People can endure until that time, and some people do not see hope until they die.
At present, the courage of ordinary people is also very precious, and it is very difficult to have a firm belief in one thing.
Solomon met a greedy white man, was sold and turned into a slave, met a master who had good intentions but could not protect himself, so that his unrealized hope was suppressed, and he met a perverted master and his wife. After multiple abuses, Solomon bet on his life but entrusted him with inhumanity. Being betrayed, he made his master treat him even more severely. Finally, Solomon's savior finally came, and he agreed to his request to write a letter for help, and was finally rescued.
Solomon was unfortunate, but he was also lucky in misfortune.
Not everyone has the luck to fall into the abyss and be rescued in the end. Cherish the present life and be born in a peaceful age and country.
Don't give up the persistence in your heart, that is the key to getting out of the prison.
