Day 16: 12 Years a Slave

12 Years a Slave 2013 USA Steve McQueen

7.4 / 10

   Ok, I get it. It's a film about slavery in the USA therefore let's all feel guilty about it and overrate this artwork as a way to forgiveness. Don't take me wrong, I don't think it's a bad movie at all, I just don't think it's that good. 
   The characters are dull and the script is dragging for 134 minutes. If you wanna make a movie this long you need to explore more the characters. There's no salt and pepper. The movie didn't definitely live to what I was expecting for and cruelty was explored to a disgusting point.

8 / 10

3 + 5

1. If you only have the chance to watch one of the volumes, go for number 1.

2. It's not erotic. It's disturbing.

3. It's brutal and overly graphic with some jaw-droppingly scenes.

+

1. If you think you can handle it, watch it, It's worth it.

2. Great writing, superb acting. Provokative in a way only Lars Von Trier can be.

3. An analogy between sex and fly-fishing with some classical music in between.

4. A story about addiction, psychosexual madness, lust and self destruction.

5. Its an ambitious piece of art with quality and substance.
