For a change, 12 Years a Slave is not liberal hollywood mess. It is a hard look at how this guy went through a tough period of time in his life.

For those going, the title is “12 Years A Slave”.

I’m just not interested in it. It holds no attraction for me.

That is a shame. It is a great movie. Oh well your missing out in life.

No, thanks. I do not willfully give my money to those who will use it for my destruction.

P-Marlowe,
You love it when we converse on here. I just say go to the movie. No harm done in that.

I have no interest in seeing this movie, nor will I ever see any like it!

Read LZ Granderson's piece on it

I'm not sure I have any interest in spending my money to see and support a movie that Liberal commentators like Granderson are using to reinforce their narrative.

To wit:

... To see "12 Years" is to see the full story of what those who fought under the shadow of the Confederate flag gave their lives to keep. To see "12 Years" is to see that the claim that the black people who picked cotton in the field with the star of "Duck Dynasty" were "happy" is a racist insult.

The movie is an unsanitized portrait of a nation's shameful past. It is two hours of breathing in the antebellum South and then walking out of the theater trying to pretend the stench is all gone.

The only Best Picture nominee I’ve seen is “Gravity” and it was amazing.

I am underwhelmed also. I don’t find the need to indulge in white guilt any more since we were healed of our racial divisions by the election of THE ONE.

Ah! DJango...a nice Harvey Weinstein movie with no racist backlash or violence. I’m wondering if Netflix will carry it so I can mark it “NOT INTERESTED”

According to an online review, if the title of the movie matched the style of the direction, it might have been called "The Passion of the Slave". Another interesting footnote is that it's possible the protagonist was enslaved due to a flubbed "Skin Game".

The moronic commentator you quoted doesn't seem to realize that slavry ended 150 years ago, whereas Robertson picked cotton alongside free blacks.

He's not a "moron". He's a race-hustler.

I pretty much boycott establishment Hollywood movies.

Loosen up a little your girdle is too tight. Every movie made in Hollywood it is a Libtard production. Even “Shrek”. :-)
