Fox Searchlight Films is set to release “Twelve Years a Slave” in a couple of days. This film was made by the British director Steve McQueen, and produced by the American actor Brad Pitt, among other producers. It appears to reflect an accurate and true story of 19th century slavery in the U.S., as written by Solomon Northup (who experienced it firsthand).
Don’t know anything about “Twelve Years a Slave” yet... but I do know that for many years I despised Brad Pitt. It seems recently, Pitt may be maturing... at least that is the impression I am getting. I hope he does, and he turns, and becomes a real Conservative someday soon.
