    12 Years A Slave (2013)

    Plot: "In the antebellum United States, Solomon Northup, a free black man from upstate New York, is abducted and sold into slavery."



    This is truly an amazing film. I kind of felt that once you see a slave film, you kind of seen them all, but this is a great story. It's also based off the memoirs of the real Solomon Northup. He published the book in 1853 called 12 Years a Slave. So, this is all based on actual true events. Once I heard that and watched the film it felt a lot more real.

    Also, Brad Pitt's production company released this film and has a very minor role in it, but everyone's acting performances are top notch. Michael Fassbender, I always knew was an amazing actor, but he just gave me chills for his performance in this. I'm not familiar with Chiwetel Ejiofor's other work, but he also did an amazing job.

    Overall, fantastic movie. It's not out yet on DVD or anything, but please go to the theater and watch this film. It was unbelievable

    Directed by Steve McQueen

    8/10

    I blame whoever made that trailer. Because watching that trailer, I felt like I had already seen it 1000 times.

    You didn't even watch the film, yet you are saying it's not Oscar bait? Please I know where you're coming from, as I said above (that I felt like I seen it a million times before), but until you watch this film, you should not pass judgement. But, if you're not going to watch it and just keep being negative on it, then

    I never watched the trailer either Fright, but it's already on IMDB's top 250. It just keeps getting lower and lower

    Movie was fantastic. It's refreshing to watch something of this nature every once in a while to see what great film making is all about. There is not one aspect of this movie that is not top-notch. I think this movie will clean up at the Oscars.

    Amazing movie. Really tense and heartfelt. You really feel for the characters and their plight. Solid 8/10 from me

    I thought I made it clear that I was being sarcastic. I do think it is oscar-bait. So obvious.

    Agreed. I fell in love with Fassbender's acting ever since Inglorious Basterds. He continues to impress.

    I agree but I think Barkhad Abdi just might win this.

    I can definitely see them doing that. They are all about doing shit like that.
