Conservatives Outraged!

[Cancel 2016.11]

I'm kinda pissed myself and I'm not even a conservative. I sat through 12 Years a Slave and I definitely found myself wondering "Where are the happy slaves?". Not to mention all the meals they got for free. Funny how the film leaves all that out.

It's just like Hollywood isn't it? They don't want you to know about the slaves who were all like, damn this is the best gig ever.

I think Tom wrote this article btw:

"If ever in slavery's 250-year history in North America there were a kind master or a contented slave, as in the nature of things there must have been, here and there, we may be sure that Mr McQueen does not want us to hear about it. This, in turn, surely means that his view of the history of the American South is as partial and one-sided as that of the hated Gone With the Wind."

Where is the singing, the family unity, the joy of being cared for by benevolent masters, the depiction of how they were rescued from Africa by the rescue ships...

Good point!

Heres an interesting semi-bio of Sally.....http://tinyurl.com/q7mpbhg

and footnotes from Jefferson's letters and other sources were used to gather these facts, or claims, whatever your biases demand.

If even partially true, this would seem to conflict, at least a little, with the movie we were discussing....That won't go over big with narrow-minded preconceived notions
on either side of the fence.....

Does anybody know what his link shows? I am sure that this is another one of those "fresh perspectives on events" that is going over my head? How does this show that a man who literally owns a woman could have anything remotely like "consensual" sex with her? Is it because she was "good looking"? "Light skinned"?

Does anybody know? Can someone help me?

Free sex with a founding father...

explain what this means.... does every other movie ever produced portray real life accurately? Is THAT what this is supposed to mean? Or, are you saying that every other movie ever produced portrays real life Inaccurately? What is your point here and then, if your point is the latter, please tell me what part of THIS particular movie you felt WAS portrayed inaccurately. Straighten me out here... I am confused by this post of yours, and you have yet to explain it. If this movie is like every other movie ever produced, is it accurate or inaccurate?

I did not see the movie nor read the memoirs
of Mr. Northup so I cannot personally judge how
accurate it is....but I know others have and said it's
story line is accurate to the memoirs......

but it is a movie....the lines spoken and words used, are script written,
meanness, kindness, pain, sorrow, joy, suffering, etc., that is depicted, is by necessity, subjective, and scenes and settings are replications of an earlier time.

Every movie contains these things as it must, when trying to re-create real life, especially of a hundred years ago....
we are limited in our ability to be accurate except in a general sense.... just because of who we are today
....my links above do not have these disadvantages. They are the words of real people in their very own words....

just added the last line.

Same with the merry people in the concentration camps with their classical orchestras and free gas!

Are you have trouble with reading comprehension again, fool ?

WTF did you think I said in my post that caused that idiotic response....?

This movie is Hollywood's attempt to show real life...

My links show the real thing, didn't you like them or what ?
