an excellent film about the strength of the human spirit and the need to survive
magnificent film - you wanna hug your children after this movie
Okay so yes this deserved the Oscar. Outstanding acting, excellent story.
Should be less than 1 star. Vulgar and obscene, we left in the middle
I am surprised that so many people give 5 or even 3 stars. It's absolutely tasteless and full of disturbed characters, women or men. Public nudity is not necessary by any actress, who wants to see that, can go to the porn movies, so much crude scenes. Why don't we make clean movies about all the beautiful black or white people who have dignity and morals and won't undress for a public.
ok hollywood we get it. black people are good. white people are bad. now you can stop making these stupid movies.
A very dark time of our past but such a great movie!
Vary good realy deep a little cruel but all around a good movie
This movie was not to my liking. How anyone, black, white or green with pink spots could survive the violent beatings is beyond me. While it is a true story, it is not very realistically acted and it is more of a documentary than a movie.
Any colored people appreciate or like this movie? How about a movie about black people building pyramids or the contributions they've made to society? Seems Hollywood can only show blacks as slaves.Slavery isn't Black history,only a fraction.
