Welcome to The Movie Diaries, the blog that I try to assist fellow movie goers to pick and choose a great movie to see that is either in theaters, on Netflix, or already on television or dvd. I love movies and everything that comes along with them so please read my reviews, check out some of the links, and feel free to leave any comments, questions or concerns I look forward to hearing other people's opinions on movies. -Dorothy Gale

12 Years a slave: A disturbing true story told on-screen
12 Years a Slave is a powerful, riveting tale that is based off a true story, written by Solomon Northup, dating back to the mid 1800s. The film is directed by Steve McQueen and stars Chiwetel Ejiofor as the title role. The film centers on a young father and husband, Solomon (Ejiofor) who lives as a highly educated free man in Saratoga, New York in 1841. When his wife takes an annual trip for work, she takes their two children and leave for three weeks. In the mean time, Solomon unfortunately meets two men that will forever change his life. The men coerce him into dinner and drinks to discuss a possible job opportunity, but wind up getting Solomon so drunk that he passes out. When he awakes, he comes to find out that he was kidnapped and sold as a slave and is sent down South.
