12 years a slave
- The son of an emancipated slave, Northup was born free.
- He had a family and he worked hard to earn his living.
- He was a multifaceted laborer and an excellent violin player.
- However, someday, two con men offered him a job in Washington D.C, where he should play the violin in a circus.
- They drugged him and sold him as a slave to the South.
- For the next twelve years, he had to work for several different slave masters and some of them treated him as cattle.
- He managed to tell his story to another worker on the farm, who alerted his friends in the North.
- They finally freed Northup and then he returned home to his family in New York.
- I did not know very much about slavery before I saw this movie.
- I knew that the Americans discriminated and exploited black movie, but the movie shows, that the masters treated them as cattle.
- In my opinion that’s very cruel, because the people, who were sold as slaves, couldn’t do anything against it.
- They had no to chance to stand against them.
- However, the sad thing is that still now, black people are being discriminated, although they are ordinary people like you or me.
- It should be produced more movies like this one, as it shows an important part of the American people and that is not okay to discriminate people.
- Humans have the right to be free and this should remain no matter how the future will look like.
