12 Years A Slave
Just returned from seeing "12 Years A Slave". This was a powerful film with a few disturbing scenes. The movie is "based" on a true story and a book that was written 150 years ago. A very good movie but not one I will want to see again,

Saw it when it came out. Makes one see our forefathers (whom some want to worship and put on pedestals) in a very different light. Outside of Franklin and Hamilton, all the others were for the institution of slavery (not to mention women were 1/2 step above slaves). How could they write all men are created equal? Guess they meant just rich, white men were created equal.
I found the movie deeply disturbing and depressing. Usually even the most depressing of movies have one light moment or scene of hope. Not here. It just gets worse and worse and the last whipping scene is..... well best left unsaid. Also, how they used scriptures from the Bible to justify slavery every Sunday was disturbing and a real turn off to organized religion.
