Another useless movie based on making white people feel guilty for something none of us did in our generation. Overly exaggerated as always and boring as hell. You can tell the Jews paid to have this movie made to fulfill their agenda as always.

Some clearly racists comments from other owners. This is based on true story, it is not meet to make people feel bad ..... this happened. Yes over 150 years ago but it happened. I found the movie very interesting but I could not rate it 5 stars because I have to admit I found it at times long and dull.

Chiwetel Ejiofor performance is amazing, the directing and screenplay are great. My issue with this movie is in the end, aside from the 1 joyous moment of the film (it will bring you to tears if you have a beating heart) does not make up for the 2 hours torture porn that this movie is. Slavery is wicked, yes. The wrongs done to the African people has a whole is tremendous. But how much suffering can you bear to watch for the sake of cinema. Michael Fassbender is great at being evil and petty, but this is not Django and the good guy doesn't get revenge, there is no catharsis. I'd rather watch Ejiofor play a 6 feet tall drag sing his lungs out in Kinky Boots than watch the man suffer through this movie again.
