12 Years a Slave (2013)
Slavery in Canada
The fact that this is based on true events kind of gets me. I didn't expect some of the scenes to be played to the t. You can tell the actors worked hard to make the scenes believable in all sorts of ways. The way the director made the cameramen use the most incredible over--the-shoulder shots is fantastic, it makes everything seem like it was real while they were on set.
Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom (2013)
Very Nice Movie
The setting of this movie is very realistic with the time and place of Mandela's life in prison and out of it. The people who played the characters in the film (even though they were actual people too and this is a biography basically) seemed to really be hard working to get their accents right and to really pull in the act that they're actually the people they are attempting to portray in the film. The plot really just thickens very quickly as the movie goes on. The events are, in my opinion, too rushed and just put together as a whole instead of individually like they should've been. There wasn't that much tension between the portrayed characters when there should've been tons. The tension was more friendly than enemy like.
