Movie review: 12 years a slave
12 YEARS A SLAVE -Starring: Chiwetel Ejiofor,Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Lupita Nyong'o,Paul Giamatti,Alfre Woodard, Taran Killam, Paul Dano, Sarah Paulson Director: Steve McQueen III Slavery is as old as the hills.The Romans, Assyrian,Babylonians,Egyptians, Jews, Arabs, Scandinavians all kept slaves. In the Far East, the Japanese didn't lag behind. Nor did India with bonded labour. Slavery in America's Deep South was unique in its use of slaves as unfree labour producing cotton and sugar on plantations for export. Profits apart, slavery catered to the soul sickness of racist, sadistic slave-owning "Christians" ( Michael Fassbender and Sarah Paulson ) who quote from the Old Testament to justify ownership and brutal treatment of their slaves in this adaptation of a true story based on the little known memoirs of Solomon Northrup who became a hero of the abolitionist movement.
