12 Years a Slave - Movie Review 

I recently saw the movie 12 years a slave, it’s a drama film based in a true history. It was adapted from the book "Twelve Years a Slave" by Solomon Northup. The film is directed by Steve McQueen.

The book and the movie tell the story of a free born African American man who was kidnapped and sold into slavery. Its set in the United States, in Washington where he lived and was kidnapped, and Louisiana, were Solomon worked 12 years in different plantations. The main character sufferers a lot while he is sold to slavery. Through the movie we can see how the main character tries to survive and how he do it.

I really recommend you this film; it's a good film with first class actors. And also the plot is good because tells how it was the slavery back then and how the African American where beated and punished. Also it’s based in a true history, and that gives the film more importance. And also if you have time to read the book it'll be more convenient, as we known, books are more often to give details than films.
