12 Years a Slave

In this document I will give my personal opinion on the film 12 years a slave, I will not go as deep in the characters as it is difficult for me to remember the names, more than anything I prefer to say my perception of the different situations that went away Giving throughout the film, taking into account the time in which this happens and the way in which today is seen this type of situations.

First I would like to mention that beyond the beliefs that were held at that time the way they took free people was not acceptable in any way, including at that time. It is always good to give your opinion about such subjects because you are forced to realize how you really think, in this case of course that I am against such actions, beyond the racism that was something that was "allowed" if they are a way to say it at that time is outrageous to see the treatment that was given to another human being and of course it gives you courage to know that something like that happened at some point in history and I would not be surprised if it keeps happening, what is really worrying is that humanity has not given importance to this kind of thing as it was the holocaust of which the Germans are embarrassed to speak, but today there are still people who think that is right.

Speaking again about the film, we have the contrast of two people that the Americans call "white trash" one is to which Solomon asks him to send the letter that he writes and to which he gives all his money, this person even when being In the same conditions of poverty that the others who were there was still considered superior for which he was betrayed, the other personage was the Canadian who, having in a different culture, was more focused on that subject and despite sharing poverty and " Work "was more than willing to help him and the only thing he wanted in return was the freedom of Solomon.
