The movie which won Oscar for the best picture, is certainly the best picture for the year. Having watched all the nominated movies for Best director category, the academy should've given award to Steve McQueen too for this emotional pre-Civil war movie, IMO. Still the academy awarded the movie for the awesome screenplay. Lupita (the girl who won Oscar for the supporting actress), was too good esp. with the sobbing and torture scenes (made me cry almost). I detested Tarantino's Django, but now I feel like I may like it after seeing this.

Somehow I could relate this movie to an Indian (Tamil language) movie named Paradisi released in earlier 2013. Both of these movies deals with slavery and the protagonist falling into it (not by his own will). In Both, the protagonist is separated from his wife and children without their knowledge. Since I am an Indian and have seen the regional movie before this. So I couldn't give it a full 10/10.

Bottom line : A must-see movie. Not for kids for torture and nude scenes. Not for sensitive audiences too.
