I just watched 12 Years a Slave
As the title says, I just watched the movie. There are a few things I can take from the movie.
1. It just strengthens my belief that Mark Twain was on to something with "The Lowest Animal."
2. The fact that anyone could treat anyone that way and sleep at night is appalling
3. I found out that, as a man at 21 years old, I still retain the ability to cry
4. Unless you can stand intense violence and some gore, this movie isn't for you.
5. I now hate white people. And I'm white.
As a friend of mine who is a social worker (who also interviewed a rapist today...yeah they don't pay her nearly enough to do that kind of thing) said earlier today, "People are the real monsters."
Good movie. But a lot to take in. And hard to watch.
