So I’ve been debating about seeing 12 Years a Slave. Do you feel like it is an important movie? I know the content is very tough to watch and graphic and I haven’t been able to drag myself there yet. Sometimes it is hard for me to decide whether viewing that kind of content is worth it or if I should just read about it.

I do think it is important… and maybe not as depressing as you think. It is certainly not uplifting, but it has some things to say about human resiliency. I would liken it to “The Pianist.”

thanks for that perspective. I think I may go see it this week. I didn’t know anyone who had seen it so it was hard to know if it was worth it.
