Review: Director McQueen has
nothing new to offer that we are
not aware of. But it is his portrait flawless Solomon
Northup with scenes of brutal
realism, dramatic dialogue, cartoonish
villains and a plot that torture to which the
slave sets her presentation.
The story is set in 1841, begins in Saratoga Springs, New York. Solomon Northup a well to free black violinist is seduced by traveling with fraudsters, "a dollar a day for their days in Washington and three dollars in the process." It's much more than he won in New York. He accepts his offer, but the road is drugged and kidnapped.
When he wakes up, he is in chains against the unjust accusations that it is in fact a fugitive slave plantation in Georgia. Their protests are treated with a cascade of noise. And when he realizes that his means fall into deaf ears and intelligence caused more physical and mental pain, we must be resigned to his fate.
Known as "Platt" in unscrupulous middle Solomon takes on a new life as a slave. While it is negotiated before the owners of the plantations, touching scenes captured insensitivity matter of routine.
The cast is great and makes you tense, subtle performance. Ejiofor as Solomon Northup gives some provocative and disturbing ideas in his soul. Modern and sober performance is very different unlike other characters.
Other players in the stream: some crossfire, others will revel in the power: Lupita Nyong'o as eager to please the slave Patsey, unlike Solomon does not know other than it condemned was born in the living; Alfre Woodard as Mr. Shaw, the cult of the slave who educates Patsey how to use her feminine charms to stay alive; Adepero Oduye as Eliza's mother separated from her children and Emily Ried storm.
Then there Benedict Cumberbatch as William Ford, good and decent plantation owner who sympathize with Platt, but is limited by social pressure; John Paul Dano as Tibeats "slave" in planting Ford has a personal interest Soloman chip; Michael Fassbender as Edwin Epps knows acethe slave switch. It is enough support from a woman just as fierce, Ms. Epps played by Sarah Paulson.
Unfortunately, co-producer Brad Pitt and Lower seems the only aberration in the narrative flowing soft. The appearance was ridiculous and absurd air, otherwise realistic story driven.
John Ridley's script captures amazingly Solomon twelve years in an episodic format. Assemblies extracts are well designed. The scenes are twisted and disturbing. In particular, the peeling of the skin has to bear Patsey agony, left squirming in his chair.
Which adds to the pathos is the tricky movie with long pauses and long silences. This, combined with the organic edition dark background score by Hans Zimmer and the number of slow jazz particular height oscillation haunting 'Roll Jordan Roll "that moves and joins the story.
