12 Years a Slave (2013)

Given the social and economic importance of slavery in the history of the United States, the lack of a serious movie depicting the daily life of the slave of the South Confederation is important - especially the aftermath of this shameful case is still reflected in culture It is because it is. "12-year-old slave" was written in accordance with the memoir of Solomono who was suffering slavery like hell in Louisiana, backed by legal records.

The story starts with his life with his wife and children in northern New York and becomes a free and respected community member. After some cheaters who promised to work for him were deceived by Washington, he was deprived of his identity and shipped to New Orleans for being sold as a slave, and he was narcotic, chain, malicious I was beaten later. In the next 12 years, he was owned by two men who treated him relatively. The first person is a relatively civilized person, but semi-intelligent managers of plantations are threatened by Northup's excellent wisdom. Their common aversion was reluctant to lose his investment, resulting in dangerous mess and Northup's boss sold him to his neighbor. This unbalanced individual thinks that his slave is a property for happiness and profit. It makes them always worried that their capricious feelings will soar at any time and become sadistic desire or anger.

It is noteworthy that the British director became one of the few filmmakers to delve into this theme and the combination of John Ridley's powerful screenplay and McQueen's skill skills stimulated the excellent performance of the actor. The dramatic representation of their Northup experience is incredibly uncomfortable as it represents the illegitimate nature of the society that allows this barbaric system. I would like to attract many American audiences that would understand how privileged Southern elite can cruelly exploit their fellowmen to gain more wealth for themselves .
