12 years a slave first of all humanity, emotional and sadness in every aspect of the movie, its based on a true story, the life of solomon northup, the movie had a oldy atmosphere, the story was told on point it was told the way how it was in real, good job they made a biography of solomon northup, the story told us what Solomon went through because of slavery, under all circumstances he just survived, well human is not a toy to be played by others, thats what slavery does to others, imagine how people were before differentiating between colors, just because they are black or whatever that doesnt make them to live by others order, well we saw how slavery was before how people lived under orders of others how laws were before, gladly it has changed by now, well the main character wasnt there with his heart really he didnt feel that he was away from his family, he just acted as a slave he kinda wasnt fighting for his freedom, the dialogues werent that good i didnt feel powerful, i didnt feel energetic for what were they saying, i didnt feel their souls burning, but they showed us what was happening, the movie was slow burning wasnt bored from it but it felt long, at the ending were solomon returns to his family i dont feel any big or surprised impressions from others it lacked really, like after 12 years being away from others why wont the other characters cry, why they dont feel whats happening, and it showed us that this things happened in 12 years i felt it was like 12 days, we didnt notice any aging from Solomon, at last i wont recommend it to anyone unless your a hardcore movie watcher and want to discover about histories or biographies, btw this was my first slavery movie, i kinda discovered more what happened, though the movie was good but too many postive views on it from every side, a good adaptation of the story, NO TO SLAVERY, 7/10⭐
