Not a spectacular Hollywood blockbuster movie but it's probably better off for it, being such a disgusting slice of our history. Well acted imo.

I just finished watching it.
It was pretty intense and IMO I think it was over dramatized.
I just don't believe there was that much violence against slaves on a regular basis as depicted in the movie.
That being said, I also believe that racism today is far more prevalent than many people would care to admit, and that the silly myth that I keep hearing from the right, ie. that white on black racism is a thing of the past and that it is whites that are now the victims of discrimination is absolutely ludicrous.

When I saw him I thought to myself "that dude looks a little like Brad Pitt, I wonder who he is"?
