This film made my eyes bleed it was that bad. If you have been alive for more than 10 minutes you will know how bad slavery was and all this film does is re- iterates what everyone already knows. There's no plot, storyline, character development, nothing. I am baffled how anybody can like seeing a black man get beaten for 2 hours and say that it's a good viewing, disgusting. I had hugely high expectations of this film due to the media hyping it up to being the 'best movie ever made'' but quite frankly it was one of the worst films I have ever seen. No surprise either that brad Pitt helped direct it and he turned up an hour before the end to become the hero. Overall a hugely disappointing movie and I would not this to my worst enemy
