12 Years A Slave blev hædret med i alt 3 Oscars for Bedste film, Bedste kvindelige birolle og Bedste adapterede manuskript.
Baseret på en utrolig og sand historie om en mands kamp for overlevelse og frihed.
Filmen er baseret på Solomon Northups egen biografi fra 1853, der fortæller om den sorte, veluddannede og frie familiefar Solomon, der i 1841 bliver bortført og solgt til et liv som slave i sydens barske bomuldsmarker.
Han står overfor en grusomhed, der synes umuligt at rumme, (personificeret som en ondsindet slaveejer, spillet af Michael Fassbender).
Solomons kamp begynder...Han kæmper ikke kun for at holde sig i live, men for at bevare sin værdighed. I det tolvte år af hans uforglemmelige og forfærdelige rejse, møder Solomon ved en tilfældighed, den canadiske arbejder Bass (Brad Pitt). Dette møde vil ændre begges liv for altid... Beskrivelse: [ Dansk Engelsk ]
Award-winning historical slave-narrative drama directed by Steve McQueen and starring Chiwetel Ejiofor. The film follows the experience of Solomon Northup (Ejiofor), an African-American living with a wife and two children in Saratoga, New York, who is kidnapped and sold into slavery by men claiming to offer him work as a circus musician. Transported by ship to New Orleans, it isn't long before he is given a new name and sold to William Ford (Benedict Cumberbatch), a relatively empathetic slave owner. But confrontations with the cruel and violent overseer John Tibeats (Paul Dano) leads to Solomon being passed on by Ford to the extremely abusive and alcoholic planter Edwin Epps (Michael Fassbender), who rules his slaves with a whip in one hand and a Bible in the other. Believing the only hope of regaining his freedom is to remain passive for the time being, Solomon ceases fighting against the illegitimacy of his situation until salvation is offered to him by a kindly labourer named Bass (Brad Pitt). The film was nominated for nine Academy Awards and won three including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress (Lupita Nyong'o). It also won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture - Drama and BAFTAs for Best Leading Actor (Ejiofor) and Best Film. |
