First of all, I want to evaluate this film very objectively, regardless of the themes of politics, altruism or skin color bias, even though these are the issues in the film. Because if I were to evaluate based on my personal views on equality in skin color, religion or ethnicity, I would probably give this movie 10/10. First, I really like the production design, the costumes, and the songs in the movie, and the music too, everything related to them is at an excellent level. Unfortunately, the opening of the film did not convince me, Solomon's move to Washington as well as his purpose, his motivation to find a way to escape when kidnapped... are all unclear. Too few big scenes. The places Solomon went through lacked connection. Especially Epps. Is this guy a normal person or crazy person? Does he have feelings for Patsey or not? This is not clear. There are scenes that are not done well, so viewers cannot really get into the emotions of the characters. Anyway, I really liked the scene where Solomon was hanged and he struggled to breathe while everyone around him failed to help him. Maybe that's my favorite scene because it's so realistic. The scenes without dialogue are very beautiful and poetic, but unfortunately the director have not created a deep enough contrast between the story and that beauty of nature. I have no opinion about the actors' acting, they all performed very well. I just wish the story was created to be more dramatic, instead of the director wanting to tell it exactly like the book, which unintentionally makes the movie a bit similar to a documentary.
