live with my family in New York the good for him till the day I was to see

to Solomon kidnap sold into slavery

welcome everybody knew what the flick bed maker which Christian airlines

overall they were into October were into the important

how to capitalize for each pictures I believe is afraid you're looking for

know I was 9 of your head the way I televising

yet not way I talk yeah twelve years a slave

the which has generated a great excitement and

a should it Christie first what's it about I love dance grackle

yeah i three people confuse all the time yeah it's me it's the third feature film

from artist turned filmmaker Steve McQueen

I and II an adaptation of the memoir by Solomon northrop

arm its it almost got a hitchcock story in terms of VHA innocent man for in a

terrible situation

northrop was a freeman in New York in 1841

a couple a con artist managed to get into washing DC with a drug him and told

him into slavery and he basically spent

12 years in now louisiana didn't

doing the most horrible stuff imaginable trying to

I get back to his wife and family I and he's played by

the great actor shoot elegy for and it is a

you powerful piece take a look well boy

you feel now on name is Solomon

not when the freeman and you have no right whatsoever to detain

you know freeman you know but a georgian

runway break mandas out please this property

called to come here strata fun taught you note some

I did as instructed there something wrong is wrong with the instruction mass

departure he walk

in or near 100 lashes so

like for symbolic get out there at the top this is a

is a good movie yeah absolutely I up there's something

about it though that kept me from feeling that'd take a great movie

on I think it's well short of being great I mean on the traditional

four-star thing this just screams three stars to me I

and I'm and I've had trouble figuring out what it is that makes it

not great to me since most people seem to think but

that it is great I there's there's no question it's a sequence

other thats yeah I and and maybe that was it that it just seemed like

one thing after another and their is in a great deal with

humanity it there isn't but arc the you would expect for you would think that

maybe the entire movie is going to be about the same trying to get out

and I think because that that notion get sort of

literally beaten out of him early on it only

for you know florid fires up occasionally the video is

units and paper mill write a letter or something um

but I you know I think that you know yeah it's not the transcendent movie

that I think some other early

reviews would lead you to believe that it is but its an exceptionally powerful

I'm and I think so well put together and

it's one of those movies that just I think portrays II corner American

history that we'd

still don't talk about it now right we still don't really explore with the kind

of depth that we should because I think it's

something we all there's a the there's a certain national amnesia about racial

issues but it's labor in particular

and some and I think just seen some that separate raid so vividly in just the

idea of how

living with the notion that at any moment you could be

sold you could be killed you could be whatever and it wouldn't matter in there

was no we're gonna melt in the United States of America which is a poster

come to the rescue of people in need would be like per

one step yeah red they may let me if we had Linkin

last year and we had anger last year

Sherm totally totally different angles on that likes to clean just

goes for in the most gruesome unflinching

way it possible to the point where it feels really

gratuitous in heavy-handed so there's a scene the scene where he is hanging

me I'm right is there anything and he is

is toes denim add just enough right to not

documents raise job with a little bit and

people who run the plantation to put in there that I was when haitians bill

infection

Benedict Cumberbatch and the time has been fetched to come in like actually

settle this thing

and I swear to God steam clean holes at shop what feels like

beyond an attorney taylor love that Singh II

and I loved okay my favorite scenes okay and the movie because it one shot

yeah because and we see is all the other slaves

who want nothing more that the get hammered stand

to rest his feet and save his life and they can't do it

they have to walk around and go about their business unable to

at tend to their friend on within inches up dying

letting the water at some point right when nobody's looking pasted that they

get away with because they will be evident to that

getting a drink the water go way anybody bring to the stand that although yeah I

as well

either that was incredibly effective yeah it was the intent to that so you

know I think that I think it delivers what it's supposed to do and I didn't

feel like it was overdoing it that

at times I kinda like this is the movie I get people roots could have been rated

R

rather have you know because roots flirt with this stopping you you get the idea

there's the beatings and there's the they sell you know 1977 it was american

tell

exactly yet so it was that within its parameters it did what I could do and

this was like you know what let's be

my really kick out the jams here not was a well-rounded that one a nightmare this

thing was you know

and now I'm you know it just Academy win-win-win Mike Michael Fassbender

wakes them all up in the middle of the night to like

damn forehand you know and and not to my liking to do those

ridiculous deal nineteenth century minuet to whatever the hell they are you

know why it's like you the cookie the cookie in ATL

ok honey I just you manage it was just such despite the the the

the psychological stress of living like that day in day out as well as i think

is trying to convey

but that means more powerful than showing every single last mark on

patties back all that but with the psychological torture to me

I I i think that that the physical purpose a cult or you're not I

helping to be a headshot every single last night he can restrain

but I don't but we are using all the federal Asher they should realize

margaret was all over

and both because I feel like I do you like he could have gone longer with both

and didn't buy anything I just think you know what I thought was important to see

the lashes when a slave named patty who we come to identify with whose

you know whose going through our own particular version

upheld having being owned by Michael Fassbender

I book when the scene that we see her getting

wept is a scene where jewitt elegy for has tonight

is forced which happens courses and and so

will he sorta focuses initially just on

book watching us watch Solomon forced to whip someone else is going to keep both

alive

right and then we see her suffering afterwards I

again I it wasn't the gratuitousness other in which the

sequentially ality what no no I your YouTube that's a myth

they have anecdotal is that what you're all aware which is why this user is a

I think that the movie lacks a certain emotional this week that would have made

this

great player user I think it is very good and I

anything is the McQueen doesn't work that way you know I love you look at

hunger

you look at shame which i think is the less successful movie I think he has a

certain sense

I love I'm to step back and you can take a look at this and you can come away

with whatever you want

which is fine and it certainly valid way to do it but it's not going to deliver

that

but we're putting the audiences I think often want and need to

walk away from something because I'll tell you frankly I think

you nope just a little dollop ok kinda

color purple sentimentality in the last scene in the film

would have a really put this thing over the top that's just me

I know people will disagree from but I still think it's it's an exceptional

piece work

the performances are great I mean I think that this movie is filled with

I didn't know who all was in this thing before I thought mm about you know about

him

Paul Giamatti and then and you know so at a parody as I can ratings from from

prior all day know and and and Karen Killam from SNL him just share Paulson

as Fassbender's white yeah I think it's great you the man anything

on Leno I just let me say a couple things that I really want to get out in

this movie and I think that

the united we just talk about captain Phillips whatever if you appear to it I

think taxes where the Oscar nomination but I think that you know

that that edgy for beat em

if it's that comes down to a two man race there's obviously a lot that's

gonna go into this

because I thought he was great I just in the movie was quite up to that standard

but you mentioned roots in laws allow the same age you were too young one

roots

came out I'm 41 so I was 15 yeah

yeah you but long till I am i three thought we were told by her

like by our with repeat history teacher told us to watch what we what truth

any change my life and it and II presume a change your Yahoo I read i read the

book a few summers later

right i mean it it it it it putting a gave you a prism love how to look at

slavery that

no one could shake me from Forever anybody who ever said you know

I was just a you know what is there to pick you earlier there are but

appearance that you have to kill your institution like no man

in now flavored lip balm and so

I think I was I saw the Telluride and and there was some dispute there about

whether you know

how old kids had to be to see this move because it is very violently

but I would say 10 11

last twelve years a slave yeah because tween yeah

but I mean it matters like yeah matters in the factor that

it does matter the fact that that your generation didn't have ruined my

imagination but yeah it was a it but didn't get your name

I it's a seminal

thing to understand and so whether or not I thought it was great or good

I think every kid at least twelve-years-old should see this movie

because it's there

edge this generation's ability to now frame the way they view slavery and

their 40 and crucial prism how they be race relations in this country

but going forward I i think it's a must see more than any other movie even by

only like that didn't

especially for the 12-year-old was already saw Django Unchained I was away

more by land and labor is way more fun and not entirely yeah

you know yeah historically kinda guarding israel's on my neighbors

I gave it a 7.5 but with a must-see 7.5 yeah

I'm giving it a seven anything performances meeting production design

its kinda overbearing in heavy handed to me lotta ways but my eye I give it a9 I

think it's its exquisitely put together and and powerful and there are scenes

are hard to watch

it does what it set out to do I would have liked a little more emotional heft

but that's just me are but I yeah I i I think people

should definitely see this movie 7.8 for twelve years a slave it

the the right now I think there's one negative review up on Rotten Tomatoes

ninety percent 97 any other nite nite nite 97 yeah

ads casting effect
