12 Years Pretending To Be Stupid & Becoming a Slave to Save His Life 

Solomon didnt get drunk he was drugged

A slavemaster is NOT a landlord. Patsy DID NOT have a job. . .she was enslaved.

He wasn't pretending to be "stupid"...He was pretending to be uneducated... There's a difference...

This movie deserves so much more than a robot with no emotions and incorrect inflections. There were also many incorrect terms and language used. Solomon didn't drink too much, he was drugged. Solomon did not change his name to Platt, he had that name forced upon him by the people who enslaved him. Eliza's crying did not make Solomon "uncomfortable", it was so much more than that. Tibeats is pronounced "Tibets" not "Tie-beats"... The guys who were hanging Solomon wouldn't have to pay with their lives, the problem the overseer was having with them was that Solomon's life wasn't theirs to take. Epps's is not grammatically correct. When introducing Patsey, why is she listed as "Patsey's"? Mrs. Epps threw a crystal decanter at Patsey, not TO her. THE MEN HANGING THE SLAVES IN THE WOODS AND ALL THE MASTERS AND MISTRESSES WERE SLAVE OWNERS, NOT LANDLORDS... (wtf?). OMG AND ARMSBY WAS NOT A SLAVE, HE WAS HIRED AND PAID TO WORK. This video is really pissing me off! Solomon did not visit Armsby in his room. Did you not see all the other slaves in the same cabin? OMG why do they keep referring to Armsby as a slave, even saying he chose to become a slave? No one chooses to become a slave. AGAIN, HE WAS HIRED HELP! Brad Pitt's character was named Bass, not Base. And they were building a gazebo, not a house. Solomon wasn't an "independent" man from NY, he was a free man. And while it doesn't say exactly how long it took for Mr. Parker to come rescue Solomon, I'm sure it wasn't several years. No one said the law had been changed, they were allowed to take Solomon because he had free papers. Again, Solomon never changed his name, so he didn't change it back either. Solomon was ALWAYS his name.

Slaves were mostly born into those horrific and unfortunate circumstances. If you say "he pretended to be stupid", it seems as if you are implying that slaves were actually stupid.

I like how he says "Soloman.. who then changed his name to Platt..." instead of saying had his name changed ...& he goes from saying "Tibeats" to saying "Tye-beats"

Why describe the movie like this? He dod not chose to 'pretend' to be a slave, he was double crossed and knowingly sold as a free nan. TOLD to act stupid not say could read bc the slave drivers did not like this.

I cried looking at that. Can't imagine the hurt and pain of a man being separated from his family. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

It wasn’t about them believing him. They knew he was free they just wanted him to be their slave so they could sell him without any trouble!

9:10 "Not because the were a family, but because they suffered together for years so they consider themselves brothers" what do we call that? A FAMILY!

There actually used to be slave wranglers who used to target freed slaves in remote or rural areas to bring them to a plantation in the South. Not that far of a stretch from reality, this movie.

One of the movie that I will forever cherished for life .

I just wonder how many black people that happened to and they never got to speak or were free this hurts me so much to know that these were my ancestors tortured for life and had no justice.

"I felt like anything rather than rejoicing at the downfall of a foe who had fought so long and valiantly, and had suffered so much for a cause, though that cause was, I believe, one of the worst for which a people ever fought, and one for which there was the least excuse." - Ulysses S. Grant about General Robert E. Lee's Surrender.

real stories got some touch to it, makes it the best to watch

hahaha i love how he beat the white guy's ass SHOW THEM WHO'S BOSS DONT GET ME WRONG

I love your movies bro mainly those ones that are depressing the one like the lion yeah it was the best I ever seen it also made me cry so please make more about the history and true stories that are inspirational thanks please I wish you read this comment

This movie makes me understand why king and the rest fought for freedom

That's a good movie to watch. Thanks for the video.

Ecclesiasticus 12:10 [10]Never trust thine enemy: for like as iron rusteth, so is his wickedness.

This is how America were builded

love this movie!

Mr. ford is an interesting character because he was not shwoing cruelty towards his slaves from what I have seen but still supporting the southern cause and pro slavery unlike Mr Epps who is cruel to his slaves the only cruel people I have seen in Mr Fords plantation are the guards and Etc

Us black people well always stand strong.

Love this content very much ❤

I would’ve burned the whole plantation down

To borrow someone else's comment: if the movie makes you feel uncomfortable - It's working.

i would love to know the piano music you use in the background

People in the comments seem to think Slavery is ancient history. Just last WEEK the last child of an enslaved person passed away. Yes there are injustices in this world, but we need to realize that we don’t live in a perfect world. Racism is wrong, but you can’t just flip the switch and make racists not racist. It’s unfortunate but racism is going to exist for a while longer. My parents were born before the Civil Rights movement ended, so of course they aren’t gonna see the problem of discrimination the same as me.

Good movie 💯🙏🏽

Dr Strange! Mordo! What universe is this??

I heard the movie was boring but maybe those people never struggled. Definitely gonna watch it

full with tears 😭

Don't go drinking in new places.. might end up a slave or worse.

Imagine yourself to be in his place what you will do to get your freedom back and your family ?

The ridiculous how we still let them call our ancestors “slaves” and not enslaved Africans humans

French answer to Linda

Not my supreme witch playing masssaaaaa😂

1. He didn't get drunk, he was drunk 2. He didn't change his name they gave him the name "Platt"

They killed so many brothers of mine.😢 They are and remain the worst creatures on earth. They are the most barbarous creatures on earth.

bruh i died laughing at 11:37 "i paid good money for this nigga"

Background music name please. .

First of all this movie is sick

" because of the racial discrimination in America, his efforts to prosecute failed, just because they were whites" Still relevant in 2023.

The title of the vid is bad quite cruel actually..

To the Narrator, They didn't start out being Slaves, they was kidnap after they was sold then they became one of the many enslaved

Wow, way to go Solomon This is my country, USA. This is what my country did.

Black panther.. Magneto,...nakia,.. Dr. Strange, Achilles, and the priest from there will be blood all together in this movie

Revelation 13:10 [10]He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

The more things change the more they stay the same

Never cared to see the movie… Intrigued to watch the ReCap!)))

I already watch this movie, it really good movie

03:56 My favorite scene

I enjoy the whipping scenes

i hope somebody told him before he died he did not leave his family. he was TAKEN from them.

Please cn somekne tell me the title of this movie plss plssss

Is the universe trying to tell me something.

Lupita Nyongo

There is a difference between being stupid and society treating him like he’s stupid obviously that’s not the case otherwise he wouldn’t be a subject study in biology

That hit different 3:57 🫣

Dr Strange and Baron Mordo

They kidnapped him is what you meant to say

Just as the human spirit can be filled with heavenly benevolence so can it be filled with unimaginable evil! Each of us are born with great and evil in our DNA, it's up to us as Gods children to always hold the darkness at bay!!! God bless all!

He was drugged not drunk.

Whoever wrote the script to this video…. Find comfort knowing you’d never need to pretend to be stupid; you’re fully out of the closet in that regard.

He disappeared again years later. . Likely died a slave

ok

11:34 the hell did he say???

In 2022. We treat each other how the white man still treats us.

I remember going to see this with my adult son, early in the movie Solomon was raped by a woman slave on the ship, shocked me out of the theater to smoke a cigarette, a Karen approached me upon my re-entry questioning if I paid? I SNAPPED (not a good time for racism) she slinked away. Later, I avoided a ticket while driving a short journey with no registration, all dressed up when the officer asked where I came from, I mentioned the movie, he just told me to call a ride and park my car! All white people aren't bad, as the movie depicted as well

Avengers in another universe

“Landlord” 🙄

Mann doctor strage just time travvel

This is Brad Pitt's best scene!!

Also the construction expert as like tge Germans shocked on the ideology of slavery so I felt he really was not a pro slavery kind of guy

For a guy who recaps movies you sure get a lot of things wrong.

South has not changed at all.

The sugar plantations was the worst place for the Hebrew slaves.

So this movie was all Kanye west idea😮

Dr.Strange in an alternate world

This movie came after slavery movies were cliche. This was different. The the Django happens.🤔

title pls?

Adele in the movie????? Ohh...lol wait.. I think it Adele...
