The acting was wonderful.\u00a0Throughout the movie I couldn&#8217;t help thinking about this as another\u00a0Holocaust movie with the dehumanizing, the\u00a0oppression,\u00a0the splitting of families and the often random nature of the violence inflicted on the victims, in this case Blacks. My only objection was that\u00a0too many scenes seemed\u00a0the same\u00a0to me, each\u00a0showing the difficult daily\u00a0life on the plantation in one form or another.\u00a0TRDB.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>12 YEARS A SLAVE- 2013.
