Hey guys! Here is the full reaction to "12 Years A Slave". Sometimes I feel embarrassed days after I watch a movie of how emotional I get. This one hurt my heart so much and I basically cried 10 minutes in until the end. I thought it was incredibly done and so important and powerful.

The book from the 1860s is incredible, first-hand account from Northup himself

Good choice for Black History Month. A raw and realistic movie. Definitely hard to watch. You gave a heartbreaking reaction. Michael Fassbender was stunning as the evil Master Epps. Good point about the camera work on his face - chilling. I was occassionally quoted scripture 40-50 years ago in Texas in support of racism. The Southern Baptist preacher I studied with at age 13 refused to perform interracial marriages saying that they were "unequally yoked." In 2023, Florida changed its middle school curricula to teach that American slavery benefitted enslaved people learning a skill. Gov. DeSantis defended the change. Take Patsy, for example, while she (as property of her master) was raped and beaten by her master, she learned how to pick cotton -- a skill she could use later in life. Slavery benefitted Patsy. The National Education Association called this curriculum change for middle schools in Florida “a blow to our students and nation.”

I just finished watching the movie. A very emotional movie. Tough to watch. But also important to watch. I thought your reaction was very appropriate Cassie. Not something to be embarrassed about at all. I admit I got a little teary eyed as well. I don’t recall you mentioning it. But Chiwetel Ejiofor, the actor who played Solomon Northrop/Platt also played the Alliance Operative in the movie Serenity. You may also recognize him from movies like Love Actually. Where he played Keira Knightly’s husband. I thought he gave a great performance. As did everyone. Not a movie you watch everyday. Quite frankly though, you don’t need to. Because this is the type of movie that sticks with you. After Lone Survivor, perhaps some lighter fare? Just a thought. Have a nice weekend everyone!

Yea that is an incredibly hard watch but as you said a very important one. It's unthinkable, this is like the most disturbing horror movie ever. Only it really happened. It's more a window into this period of time, documenting the horrors that occurred and the evil is unfathomable. History has a lot of that, not enough good hearts like yours. Reminds me of a Carl Sagan quote from Contact, "You're an interesting species. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares...". The horrible nightmares we're capable of are on full display here. And really, good on you for tackling this one. That took a lot out of me so I know that was very tough for you, but like you said important to learn and just remember. And also remember that it was not that long ago, Which was not lost on me, but then I remember hearing Dave Chappelle say his great grandfather was born a slave, and hearing it put that like even hammers it home more. That is insane. The idea of slavery itself is horrifically insane but then the fact that it was so recent is absurd. No words. Lastly, sorry I just have to say that it seems like we've come a long way, and we have. But after the Emancipation Proclamation there were Jim Crow laws which was basically "slavery 2.0". Then from the Civil Rights Act of '64, up until the early parts of my life, it had been on a steady positive trajectory. Slowly but surely things were getting better thanks to men and women braver than I'll ever be. But in later years it seems things have started to get worse again which is incredible troubling. And I'll leave you with this, do you know the last State to officially abolish slavery? Mississippi. Do you know when they finally officially abolished slavery? 2013. So yes we have come a long way but my Lord, not nearly enough.

I’m glad I got to watch this with you. I agree with you that it is important to watch movies like this though, I am sick to my stomach every single time I do. I hope, like you that I would have been someone like Mr. Parker or Mr. Bass. I hate this part of American history and work everyday to ensure this part of history never repeats itself. Thanks again for being who you are and letting us tag along on your journey.

Hard one for sure. Cassie, if makes you feel any better, I'm listening to you more than I'm watching you. It's physically hard for me to look at you AND the movie - so I have you in earbuds. However, what I'm hearing certainly matches what I'm feeling! I was once told by an elder at my church that to "feel" like you do is a GIFT, because without it we all run the danger of not empathizing with anyone or anything as much as we should. The risks of that is obvious to anyone with a history book. So while I may endure some of these scenes better than you, I am certainly not as gifted with the abundance of empathy you were blessed with! Embrace that - because it's precious (by value) in this world and partly why I'm here.

Well, hi Cassie. I'm not going to talk alot about the film because I had so much trouble watching it and then seeing your reactions. I've only seen it twice and it just breaks my heart. But I just wanted to say that please never change, being emotional is never something you have to apologize for. Your heart,courage,empathy, the feelings you show for your fellow people gives me hope that somehow some way we as a species will stop treating each other so badly. Thank you for being you and continue to be the person you are. It's so rare and gives hope to everyone else who watches you.

12YAS is gut wrenching. I think Amistad is even more so. Whatever the story American slavery is gut wrenching.

Joshua James Wagoner

That was an intense one. Such a disgusting part of our history. I can't believe how that slave owner guy thought he was in the right, even claiming it was God's will. Definitely an eye opener!

Is American Slavery any more gut wrenching than other instances of slavery?

Gina Houston
>>78725992

yes, because American Slavery actually denied the HUMANITY of the people who were enslaved... they were considered animals - not human... all manner of mistreatment, abuse, and violence was overlooked b/c they weren't 'really people'

Patrick Toscano

I was not expecting this movie to be such a hard watch. I had to keep looking away from the screen.

Terry Yelmene

Pain... through Cassie's eyes, felt by her heart-held empathy, leaves such pain. A solemn reaction. Thank you for your giving, Cassie.

Joe M

This was a very difficult watch for me, but I had to see it. I remember the first time after seeing it in the theater back in 2013. After it was over and the credits started coming up, there was nothing but complete dead silence coming out of the theater by everyone that was there. Like coming out of a funeral procession. I know its a dark way of describing my first time watching it, but that's how powerful it was. You can see why this won the Oscar for Best Picture of 2013. Well deserved..

Yaisu

An extremely emotional, yet excellent film. Not one I would ever suggest to Cassie but she handled it well. I cried the first time I watched it too.

Gina, you think the treatment of Chinese Muslims in China is humane? What about the slaves during Roman times? ALL SLAVERY dehumanizes by its very nature. No difference.

John Courtright

It's been almost a decade since I first saw this movie. I thought it might not be as difficult to watch the second time around. Not at all. It was just as horrible and gut-wrenching as the first time. But what an important film. Thank you for reacting to it Cassie. We cried along with you. It makes me so sad that people are capable of such evil. We need to do what we can to make the world a better place.

I don't care what any of you think about American Slavery, Chinese Slavery, Swiss slavery, or Icelandic slavery! I DO care about what Cassie thought about the movie 12 Years a Slave, and now I know! I'm happy!
