12 Years a Slave: A long overdue movie for the sufferings of the blacks in America

Monday, March 3, 2014, Daejeon, South Korea.  As I turned my computer on, I saw the Oscar headlining “‘12 Years A Slave’ wins best picture, and ‘Gravity’ wins 7 Oscars”.  Though I was living in the city known for science and technology, my attention was drawn to the “12 Years Slave”.  Having not heard about the film prior to that headline, my curiosity got the better of me and soon I was watching it on VIOOZ.  It’s about 135 minutes film, but it took me nearly 4 hours to watch till the end; not because my computer was slow but the emotional build ups were too strong to bear in one sitting.
