Twelve years a slave

I don't plan to go see the movie "Twelve Years a Slave." From the sound of it, it's far from entertainment. Watching someone go through a "hellish nightmare" will be a nightmare in itself.

If you plan to see it, I hope you'll read this review before and after because it's going to be painful and this will help you think it through.

As you'll read repeatedly on this blog, there's more to humankind than just the physical or animal.  The total reality about human beings includes not only material but spiritual and moral truth, good and evil.  The injustice and cruelty done to the man in this movie (based on a real person) was genuine evil.
