Hello FRiends. So we went to see 12 years a Slave. Wow! I totally recommend it. It was a true story that does not get all Hollywood Liberal. It was basically a true to life synopsis of the time this "free" man becomes a slave. It is astonishingly good. I went because I could not believe it won the Golden Globe for 2014 as the Best Film and I had no idea about the film before that night. My wife is not convinced that it should have been best film, but I am thinking closer to believing it should be. We are off to see "American Hustle" later on this afternoon. This weekend is a quiet movie weekend. I guess we still have to see Gravity, Jack Ryan, Lone Survivor, and many more.
I saw it. It was a good inspiring film. It wasn’t liberal at all. There were two gay guys in it that were the villains who sold Solomon into slavery.
I’m surprised Gladd hasn’t boycotted it for a portrayal of evil homosexuals.
Yes the movie did show a character played by Alfie Woodward who was a former slave but who now owned slaves.
It was a good movie that covered many aspects of slavery. It wasn’t a pretty film like “Song of the South”.
Ha,Ha That’s a good one!
