12 years a slave
Summary Review 12 Years a Slave
In Peter Travers's the Rolling Stone: 12 years a Slave review he strongly praises Chiwetel Ejofor's performance for being completely raw and exposing the true nature of slavery. He applauds the film for being provocative and shocking, and calls out movies like Django and Gone with the Wind for being a watered down version. Travers's believes it is extremely beneficial that the antagonist, Epps, is portrayed as such as horrifying human being because it shows the main theme he believes saying, "the core of a film that shows how slavery dehumanizes the oppressor as well as the oppressed."
