I second Steven Spielberg's AMISTAD as another very good (though, like this one, difficult to watch at times) movie on the subject of American slavery. It also has terrific cast: Morgan Freeman, Matthew McConaughey, Djimon Honsou and Anthony Hopkins

Shaun Ganyo

Dear, Sweet Cassie. Every reaction makes me love you and respect you and admire you more, especially one like this one. Thank you so much.

Terry Yelmene

Cassie, I also want to thank you for this most difficult, emotional reaction.

Oh whoops, my husband made the thumbnail, he hasn't seen it yet and this was listed under 12 years art on the website we use for images. Changing it now, thank you for letting me know!

Steven Ashford

I know this film pushed you to your limits. Your compassion for people is part of what makes me love your channel so much!

KevG

Ahhh Cassie, you did good girl. This was a tough one to get through. I feel your pain and anguish getting through this difficult material. As a Christian, I know you can't understand the place where such hate comes from in Mankind, but it does exist. Thankfully "12 Years a Slave" helps bring that despair to light.

The first time I saw this film was in the theater in November, 2013. When it was over I was in an enormous amount of shock. To the point where I was speechless and I struggled to even formulate a thought in my mind. I was even too shocked and shaken up to cry. And I had never had a reaction like that before to a film I saw in the theater. In repeated viewings the tears have come every time. 12 Years A Slave is the only film in the last decade where the film I thought was the best film of the year actually won Best Picture. Not that that matters much. I do personally feel that it's probably one of the top 5 best films of the last 10 years. I do greatly admire and respect art that challenges you and makes you really feel something. 12 Years A Slave does that on an extremely high level.

I watched this one as soon as it was released to video. I Swore I'd never watch it again. Watching Cassie's reaction pained me equally as much but I got through it with her. I also wanted to mention (as mentioned above) that Amistad is also an excellent movie. Also, the movie "Rosewood" is based on a true story. (That will be another tough watch though)

Black people have a present too.

Cassie: I'm going to quote to you from a novel I think you'd really enjoy and get a lot from: Starship Troopers, by Robert Heinlein. Set in a distant future, it is told from the point of view of a young man starting late in high school and moving on in his life for the next several years. To say more would be to give out spoilers. However, the part I want to quote is from a High School class and occurs fairly early on. "...they assumed that Man has a moral instinct.” “Sir? I thought- But he does! I have.” “No, my dear, you have a cultivated conscience, a most carefully trained one. Man has no moral instinct. He is not born with moral sense. You were not born with it, I was not - and a puppy has none. We acquire moral sense, when we do, through training, experience, and hard sweat of the mind. These unfortunate juvenile criminals were born with none, even as you and I, and they had no chance to acquire any; their experiences did not permit it. What is ‘moral sense’? It is an elaboration of the instinct to survive. The instinct to survive is human nature itself, and every aspect of our personalities derives from it. Anything that conflicts with the survival instinct acts sooner or later to eliminate the individual and thereby fails to show up in future generations. This truth is mathematically demonstrable, everywhere verifiable; it is the single eternal imperative controlling everything we do. “But the instinct to survive,” he had gone on, “can be cultivated into motivations more subtle and much more complex than the blind, brute urge of the individual to stay alive. Young lady, what you miscalled your ‘moral instinct’ was the instilling in you by your elders if the truth that survival can have stronger imperatives than that of your own personal survival. Survival of your family, for example. Of your children, when you have them. Of your nation, if you struggle that high up the scale. And so on up. A scientifically verifiable theory of morals must be rooted in the individual’s instinct to survive - and nowhere else! - and must correctly describe the hierarchy of survival, note the motivations at each level, and resolve all conflicts. “We have such a theory now; we can solve any moral problem, on any level. Self-interest, love of family, duty to country, responsibility toward the human race - we are even developing an exact ethic for extra-human relations. But all moral problems can be illustrated by one misquotation: ‘Greater love hath no man than a mother cat dying to defend her kittens.’ Once you understand the problem facing that cat and how she solved it, you will then be ready to examine yourself and learn how high up the moral ladder you are capable of climbing. “These juvenile criminals hit a low level. Born with only the instinct for survival, the highest morality they achieved was a shaky loyalty to a peer group, a street gang. But the do-gooders attempted to ‘appeal to their better natures,’ to ‘reach them,’ to ‘spark their moral sense.’ Tosh! They had no ‘better natures’; experience taught them that what they were doing was the way to survive. The puppy never got his spanking; therefore what he did with pleasure and success must be ‘moral.’ “The basis of all morality is duty, a concept with the same relation to group that self-interest has to individual. Nobody preached duty to these kids in a way they could understand - that is, with a spanking. But the society they were in told them endlessly about their ‘rights.’ “The results should have been predictable, since a human being has no natural rights of any nature.” Mr. Dubois had paused. Somebody took the bait. “Sir? How about ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’?” “Ah, yes, the ‘unalienable rights.’ Each year someone quotes that magnificent poetry. Life? What ‘right’ to life has a man who must die if he is to save his children? If he chooses to save his own life, does he do so as a matter of ‘right’? If two men are starving and cannibalism is the only alternative to death, which man’s right is ‘unalienable’? And is it ‘right’? As to liberty, the heroes who signed the great document pledged themselves to buy liberty with their lives. Liberty is never unalienable; it must be redeemed regularly with the blood of patriots or it always vanishes. Of all the so-called natural human rights that have ever been invented, liberty is least likely to be cheap and is never free of cost. “The third ‘right’? - the ‘pursuit of happiness’? It is indeed unalienable but it is not a right; it is simply a universal condition which tyrants cannot take away nor patriots restore. Cast me into a dungeon, burn me at the stake, crown me king of kings, I can ‘pursue happiness’ as long as my brain lives - but neither gods nor saints, wise men nor subtle drugs, can insure that I will catch it.” Mr. Dubois then turned to me. “I told you that ‘juvenile delinquent’ is a contradiction in terms. ‘Delinquent’ means ‘failing in duty.’ But duty is an adult virtue - indeed a juvenile becomes an adult when, and only when, he acquires a knowledge of duty and embraces it as dearer than the self-love he was born with. There never was, there cannot be, a ‘juvenile delinquent.’ But for every juvenile criminal there are always one or more adult delinquents - people of mature years who either do not know their duty, or who, knowing it, fail. “And that was the soft spot which destroyed what was in many ways an admirable culture. The junior hoodlums who roamed their streets were symptoms of a greater sickness; their citizens (all of them counted as such) glorified their mythology of ‘rights’... and lost track of their duties. No nation, so constituted, can endure.”

I love this book and have read it several times. 👍😉 And before anyone brings up the movie, I will. Yes, it's funny, not badly made, but unfortunately has almost nothing to do with the book and its storyline. Only the futuristic setting and a number of names are the same.

I have sent Cassie a list of Black RomComs to try... we start where we start and we move forward from there... ALL aspects of the Black experience - the HUMAN experience - are important...

It won the Hugo Award in 1960 and has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. I really wish somebody would make a film about the novel, rather than "Space 90210" that Verhoeven made in 1997. Not even sure why they kept the title.

Brilliant book-eh Movie completely lost the "tone" of the book. One of the books I reread between new books
