This movie maybe deserve even better rating because it shows the hard history of a normal human being that is humiliated and turned into slave. 12 years that I felt like an eternity.

This movie reveal the most horror details of the slavery and the attitude of most of the slave owners (o, how miserable and shameful mankind can be!). Maybe there is sense in this movie and it shows the lowest of human fall to draw the heights that it must achieve.

But. I saw recently other movies about slavery, wrote about Good Morning, Vietnam, so I can not ask something the movie industry across the ocean. When you became so big to whip yourselves like this, to make fun of you and to show on what ground your culture is build? Can we expect in fifty years such movies about the actions in middle and south-east Asia? I think that it is impudence doing so. To make profit showing yourself disgusting. Isn't it square disgusting? Otherwise the movie is good, a little heavy, long and depressing. Just as the period of slavery.
