My Quick Thoughts: This is a good movie about a dark time in American history told through the eyes of one man, Solomon Northup. It was interesting to see all of Solomon's different encounters over his 12 years as a slave. This movie was difficult to watch because of it's content, and the movie was filled with intense performances that will make you run through a whole gamut of emotions. Definitely worth watching to learn a little bit more about the history of our country.
