Peter
Emancipation was a great movie. I loved the background and story of the movie. It sets the quality of how the movie is made. The movie had amazing acting from most actors. It shows how it would happen if slaves ran away from their owners. I loved the way everything is correct in this movie. The impact of what Peter does is amazing. He escapes from his master, figures out how to get rid of his scent so the dogs won't find him and get him back. The second thing is that he learns how to fight off an alligator. It is amazing how this is all a true story. And lastly he goes into the Civil War and kills some people and captures land. It's so amazing. I give this movie a 10/10 and I recommend it. - mooretoffees - 8 July 2023
2 hours of my life I'm never going to see again
It had so much promise but never delivered. Movies like this usually make you look away from the gratuitous violence of war. Will Smith's acting is enough to do this. Will Smith is stale, I fear his best days are behind him. His accent made the dialog difficult to understand, surely there are better actors out there who could of played that part. Ben Foster was a good support as always but it needed a better lead. The black and white picture was unnecessary and lacked the cinematic appeal edge it was intended to deliver. And just as you think it's over it carries on and on and on. 12 years a slave it is not.
