He hasn't seen his family in 12 years, because he was KIDNAPPED, then the first thing he does is apologize for his appearance...... I'm not crying your crying 😭
A similar thing happened to me when CPS snatched me from my mom. I was raped while in the custody of the state and the authorities did nothing! Nay, worse than nothing! They gave me the Gestapo treatment when i spoke out!
@@jedimasterkeanu ? That's obviously his house and he walked in a more subordinate manner or like he was a guest. That's just apparent and obvious by looking at this scene.
Yeah I had a similar experience when CPS snatched me from my mom. I was raped while in their custody and nothing was done about it. Worse still is the fact that when I tried to speak out, I was given the Gestapo treatment. I'm seriously considering joining the BLM movement. You're very beautiful btw
One of the few movies that everyone should see at least once. The message, the history, the artistry - all reasons in and of themselves. But all put together, just staggering.
This is so powerful to see what black people can overcome. He finally got to see his family after 12 years of torture with people denying his freedom. He is now a free man.
For anyone wondering, Patsey was rescued in May 1863 by Union soldiers. Meanwhile, Epps lost his plantation to the 110th New York Regiment and it's believed he and his family died from Yellow Fever.
His wife passed before he became free again. Missed his childrens' upbringing, his daughter getting married and 12 years of his life. Remember this is a very true story.
I am too. The expression on his face as he saw his family for the first time in 12 years was heartbreaking. It was hope, fear, joy, love, and pain all rolled up in one. He had been holding on to this hope that he would see his family again and be free for 12 long, excruciating years and when he finally got them back again....when he finally came home and had his name restored and his family was there.....his first reaction is to apologize. My heart broke for him. And then, when he held his grandson and his daughter told him that the child was named after him, he just wept. I think that was the moment he felt like he was finally free.
This is one of those scenes that is so well acted , you don't even need any context to be moved by it. He could be returning to his family after failing his driving test and I would still be invested. Respect to Chiwetel for this one!
This is unimaginable to me! I hope to God Salomon Northrup had a happy, fulfilling, peaceful and overall good life afterwards if not then I hope to see him in heaven....
I hope that I meet all of my ancestors who suffered through slavery and I hope the white supremacists that caused it I hoped they are suffering in hell
Sadly from what we know he never fully recovered from his experience in slavery, 12 years was a long time for the age as well he was totally broken and and was probably murdered, possibly even kidnapped for a second time. Doubt there was a happy ending whatever happend.
i just finished this film today.im in the eight grade and my teacher showed it too us. it’s so heartbreaking to see everything about him shattered over the 12 years he was enslaved, the way he still had the slave mannerisms in his own home broke me.
I would recommend in these years you are able to see it that you watch the film “Come and See” it is free on TH-cam. Immense suffering of humanity can only be thwarted by the education of our youth
I look at my countries history from what I learned in school and in movies like this and what we have done to each other and our fellow man through the centuries and into today I am just ashamed and all I can say to God is Forgive us I pray and hope one day the hate towards each other will end We are all God's children.
This man spent 12 years as a slave and was left with psychological, mental, and physical trauma for the rest of his life! I can only imagine those who's entire lives were spent in slavery
I finally fully watched this movie and... I can't even call it a movie it's art. The cast and their performances the music and cinematography. I was scared not like the watching a horror way. Like to the core because it really happened and the performances were that deep. I was ready to cry watching this movie and that's never happened to me.
Shut up with your nonsense someone should slap you!! This is a true story Solomon was a real person and this stuff really did happen to him. There were no onions being cut. You piece of trash!!
LANCE HENDERSON shut the fuck up you have no idea what those people have been through especially with what’s going on right now no one wants to see or hear that stupid shit go somewhere else with that
Even though it was no fault of his at all, he continued to apologize. As a man, I felt that part the most... It was like he was apologizing for almost giving up hope. 💪💪🙏
Such a bittersweet scene. He's finally with his family again, but so much time has been lost and the scars from what he experienced will be with him for the rest of his life.
You KNOW that the scene/moment/event is powerful when you say after watching it SEVERAL times, you say to yourself "I'm going to watch this without crying", but yet you STILL cry EVERY SINGLE TIME .......
Just finished watching this for the first time...... At the end when they mentioned his grad child's name I got a knot in my throat and started coughing just trying to hold in the emotions. It didn't work i still shed a single tear
His name is chiwetel ejiofor and you should definitely know his name. Having seen this movie when it came out, and being given the closest imagery to what people of colour had to go through back in the 1800s. There are absolutely no words, people of all races should be educated on this matter. This movie hurt so fckin bad, I’m a grown man crying at what these courageous, strong, independent people of colour had to go through.
To those that ever question the barbarity of slavery let Solomon's story be a lesson. Slavery was our nations greatest sin. We fought our worst war to right the wrongs of chattel slavery. May we never forget horrors of this crime. May we live to see every monument to the confederacy torn down and melted into useless bars of metal. Our Union forever with liberty and justice for all.
Mordo reuniting with his family and spend 12 years in slavery in the south in Georgia and Louisiana. Now Mordo is going to have revenge that will say too many sorcerers
What the movie doesnt mention is that he disappeared again without a trace after 4 years of his freedom and his fate is unknown till this day. He was either kidnapped and resold into slavery again or was killed.
It creeps me out that his lovely family is standing there in their fine home in very nice clothing, probably educated and mentally contrasting that to the people of their same race living in rags in the South. All because of an imaginary line between Pennsylvania and Maryland.
So a 'good guy' is an educated man with family values-- who's loyal to his wife; helps raise his own kids, works hard, obeys the law, doesnt do drugs and abhors the thought of someone else steeling the fruits of his labor?
Every country has had some history that was awful... all races have been slaves or held slaves at one point in history this isen't specific to the US. Slavery is still ongoing in Africa today. I think the worst I have ever read about was what happened in the former Soviet Union their communist revolution.... unbelievably horrific....hard to believe that there are americans who actually advocate for communism today. That said today the USA is the greatest country in the world....the rights you have under your constitution....don't ever let the Democrats undermine it in anyway....

One of the few movies that everyone should see at least once. The message, the history, the artistry - all reasons in and of themselves. But all put together, just staggering.
For real, it’s a disturbing and gut wrenching movie but everyone should watch it. Wake up and see the reality that people went through.
I am not gonna lie when he said forgive me I started crying so damn much because of how much he has missed from his family😭😭😭😢
12 years! More than a decade...
This is so powerful to see what black people can overcome. He finally got to see his family after 12 years of torture with people denying his freedom. He is now a free man.
yes
What do you mean tho? over 200years later and blacks are still pretending to be opressed?

This isn't the right time to make excuses. Let it all out man!
I'm enough of a man to admit me too.
Straight up
Only movie to ever make me start full-on crying
me too.
“There’s nothing to forgive!” Family Love Says It All.
I get chills everytime and tears uncontrollably. I can feel the pain and happiness. By God we are a surviving people
The first time I seen this scene I cried for Solomon for what he suffered through in those 12 years and to finally reunite with his family.
This is one of those scenes that is so well acted , you don't even need any context to be moved by it. He could be returning to his family after failing his driving test and I would still be invested. Respect to Chiwetel for this one!
The relief and happiness to see his family again i can't imagine that feeling i can't this is so beautiful.
This scene kills me every time. Just happy to see him reunite with his family
I want to feel happy, but seeing his wife remarried with someone else just breaks my heart :(
@@AlkisenSuper Solomon’s wife didn’t marry anyone else. That’s his daughter’s husband or son-in-law if you will.
And finally He s free from this evil slavery
That baby hand grab at the end though 😭
I'm not even a dad, and the bit where he learns he's a grandfather never fails to make me emotional.
Oh honey don’t apologize no, you have been saving those tears for this moment for 12 years.
So make the most of them
This is unimaginable to me! I hope to God Salomon Northrup had a happy, fulfilling, peaceful and overall good life afterwards if not then I hope to see him in heaven....
...you might not want to research Solomon if you're looking for even a mediocre end...heads up...I'm sure his afterlife is lovely though ❤

Dude I was silent the whole film because of how disturbed I was but this end scene wrecked my soul.
I don't think any scene from any movie brought me too tears as much as this has.

If you weren't absolutely wailing at the end of this... I can't help you.
What breaks me is that he never got justice for what they did to him 😢. But I am happy he made it back to his family.

The very definition of humility 😥
Even a man of steel can bend to this scene.
Seen this movie 5 times still burst in tears at this scene
Top three all-time Tear-Jerking movie scenes:
3. The Green Mile Electric chair scene
2. Schindler‘s list “I could have done more“
1. THIS

Bought this movie and found myself crying at this part.
People go to prison for a couple years and come out institutionalized, Imagine being a slave for 12 years.

This and the green mile are the only two movies to make me legit cry.
When he learns the baby's name... it's like the big question "do you still want me? Did you forget me?" Is answered.
Watched this movie earlier and I cried like a baby at the end 😭
Truly beautiful.
If this doesnt move you to tears then idk what will.
That part where he apologized for his appearance broke my heart WOW.

The saddest part is how we will never know what happened to Solomon and how he died.
What a powerful moment
That’s a hell of an understatement
Chiwetel Ejiofor said in an interview that he had become Salomon. That he forgot it was a film he was in and not real.
The family should have shown more reaction though Solomon’s character was spot on
The only movie scene that makes me cry like a baby
Damn onions 🧅🧅......😔😔😭😭😭😭

Highely unlikely, because he was too old to be sold at good price and I doubt he would be so reckless again.
