This movie is this years “12 Years A Slave” movie, intended to stir up racial animosities by talking about the past and allowing liberals to state that nothing has changed in this country since the events if this movie..
I predict this movie will win many Oscars. The politically correct subject matter makes it an irresistible choice for Oscar voters. Regardless of the quality of this movie, its subject makes it an instant Oscar contender.
I liked “12 years a slave”. I almost didn’t rent it, figured it would be Hollywood’s crap like the “Butler”. Actually, it didn’t portray all whites as evil. The community leaders from his home town put their lives in danger when they came down and rescued him. Also, the part Brad Pitt played was in the memoir.
I looked up the story and read his original memoir. Don’t know if everything thing in it was true, but it was definitely based on the memoir (written in 1853).
I don’t mind watching true stories, but I don’t want to watch anything Oprah has a hand in. It’s bound to be a bunch of garbage.
