It really is a great depiction and I read somewhere that it is going to be included US school curriculum along with the original memoir by Solomon Northup. This just shows how much of an influence this film has had and how authentic the film is. A true master piece in film making.

I really feel like it will win Best Picture because of the subject matter and how it was presented. It will stick with those who saw it for a long time to come.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192268207736910533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183806350532741905.post-15570985641330148782014-02-09T08:13:22.964-08:002014-02-09T08:13:22.964-08:00Thank you very much Timothy.

It really is an eye-opener. Hopefully it can get a few awards. I liked that it was not rushed and it just had a gripping effect over the whole audience.John Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13859931434552961648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183806350532741905.post-91952311886458625392014-02-09T08:04:44.560-08:002014-02-09T08:04:44.560-08:00Very good review.

It was brutally honest indeed, it took its time and didn't gloss over a thing. This is one of those great movies you only see once. Not because it's bad but because it's it's the kind of film you do not watch for entertainment. I hope this film will take home a few awards. It's just that good.
