Never thought I’d agree with Netflix, but it does paint slavery in a positive light. I can appreciate it as a work of cinematic art, but it’s still a racist movie. The book was worse.
How can it be racist if it is a factual portrayal of the times? We may not like it but why hide the history? Were all slaves treated well? Of course not, but not all were abused either. I am not defending slavery in any way-—but it happened and it shouldnt be hidden. Let’s try not to have history repeat itself.
