I am pretty sure the script would have been so powerful that all actors naturally spilled their guts and gave their best performances to date. Chewetal! I mean no words.
As I sat watching it in the theater I just could not help thinking that we have it way to easy today. Even though modern day slavery exists, the time of slavery in US, slave trade and early uprooting of native Africans from their homelands, shows how immature and young a species we are. Yes we have evolved in many ways but not in the way we should treat each other. I see racism as a form of slavery too. We are a slave to our own inner evils towards each other and sheer lack of will to learn even the first letter of the word "equality".
How can one human treat another like this? And how can one human endure so much pain? I cannot even begin to fathom the hate, the belittling acts, the inhuman suffering both that of the slave and master. Yes we are have left that behind us now, in its purest and most ruthless form. But in say 2000 years of known history, we have made progress from barbarism and slavery to killing each other for racial or communal motivations. Not a real progress I would day. And then there are those who ask why don't aliens reveal themselves to us. Why would they? As a sentient and intelligent beings, We are at mere year 2 or 3 of age. We are still learning yes, but at what cost.
