I was born the freemen
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
