Twelve Years a Slave The Movie(#12YearsASlave)

Okay I have to ask why is the movie12 Years A Slave, which is coming out this weekend not playing in all theaters. This movie 12 Years A Slave is based on a true story and it is based on a man struggle out of a slavery hold. Now I know that some people that shall remain nameless, will say that why are they playing another slavery movie and to that I will say, why are so many people that will remain nameless afraid of. Why are slavery movie such a big deal and why do some people refuse to watch or complain or even judge the movie before it is actually released. There is no big deal about deal about slavery movie and for those so scared about slavery movies, the reason they are showed or played is not to show how ugly one race treated another, the reason these movies are played is so that others will get to see and hear some of the slaves stories. Yes there was slavery and yes these slaves have stories to tell, as did Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, Columbus and so on. Why should America only hear the stories of some, why not hear the stories of all that have lived in this country and struggled in this country. There are great stories to be told out there and they do not all have to do with "The Men Who Built America" on the history channel. I personally like the history channel because it is great for telling very detail past history stories using lots of glamour and action packed series, but that of the slave has yet to be told. I know some people say leave the past in the past and let it go, but why say this about slavery when the history channel and the AMC channel is filled with past history stories of old movies and old tells of how America actually came together and yet you do not see any African Americans. Slavery is the only history African Americans have to go by their past and for us this past has a meaning and it is something will shall not forget because it is our history, our stories and our family past. Slaves were not allowed to hold on to much and all they had were their memories and these memories are what they could hold on to as something to past on down to their children. What is so bad about doing slavery movies? What is so bad about a culture learning of what some slaves actual went through? What is so bad about these struggles being put on the big screen? Besides the movie is directed by Steve McQueen British filmmaker, great director and one those people who are not scared to say why not do a movie and tell a story that needs to be told. If a movie was to be put on the screen about slavery it would have to be by someone other than an American filmmaker because for some reason after all these years, Americans still can not find themselves the guts to swallow their pride and put something out their that should be put out their. We as Americans all know that slavery is a touchy subject but it is a touchy subject for White Americans only but us African Americans do not have any issue with it, we have lived through the struggle and came out of this situation and we know of course we still have struggles to bare but we hold close to our hearts that if God can bring us through slavery, he can bring us through anything. This movie I am sure will be great and I have to say bravo to Brad Pitt for taking on the challenge and stepping up to the plate to play a role in this movie as well. I am looking forward to seeing the movie and I am hoping more theaters will have the guts to show the movie, I am sure there are some who wants to movie to get low ratings and do bad at the box office and what way to do this is not show the movie at many theaters, that way it will not have a chance of making as money as a movie that is showing at all the movie theaters. I challenge more Americans to go out and see the movie and if you notice it not playing at a theater near you, well then go to a theater that is showing it and lets show other countries that we as Americans are not as self petty to the point that we can't even go out and watch a slavery movie without having a problem with it. Watch the movie and take it what it is really about, a man who fought for what he believed in.
