What was the point of this character?
"You know she made out with Takaka Khakket that night he went back to Thailand."

Gives Brad Pitt an excuse to portray himself as a benevolent white guy to stroke his ego.
>>63590560
To show you that slavery wasn't that bad, and that only a few individuals were mistreated.

This reads exactly like one of the wrong answers on a multiple choice question.
Without this character, every white person in the movie is an evil racist, so the only sympathetic characters are niggers. Liberals are all secretly racist, so having a movie with only sympathetic blacks just isn't compelling for them, and they wouldn't be able to explain why. Brad Pitt's character is the stand-in for the liberal keks watching the movie, see tvtropes "this loser is you". No liberal wants to imagine themselves as a filthy nigger who smells like piss, but they also hate all the other whites in the movie. But ahh, look who it is, a liberal reddit-posting carpenter played by Brad Pitt...hey he kinda looks like me!? He thinks blacks are cool just like me! Wow, great movie, have an oscar.

Marketing. Putting Brad Pitt's name on the poster will get more ticket sales.
>>63590725
Cumberkek was not an evil stereotype

On what? The Kuck Proficiency Exam to gauge your white privilege?

100% truth
Brad Pitt

Even further than that, it allows white people to self-insert themselves as Brad Pitt's character to stroke their own egos.
Please don't believe the meme that only white people are evil. Read some history and realize that Africans and Arabs are the all-time record holders in the slave trade and exploitation.
They still haven't ended these practices. Whites aren't completely innocent, but be happy that you live in a white nation.

Slavland is white as fuck, and is also corrupt, violent and poor
>>63590560
desu this goes down exactly the same way in Soloman Northup's book. If anything they toned it down and made Brad Pitt's character less saintly and perfect
>>63590725
>every white person in the movie is an evil racist
>who is Cumberbatch's character
>who is Solomon's white lawyer friend who comes to free him
>who is that neighboring plantation owner who paid Solomon

I know man Bradd Pitt should've been a benebolent asian guy instead
>>63590759
Yeah i remember him being a cool guy even
>>63591028
I refuse to believe any viewer could be that stupid. It's a blatant mary sue self-insert and is objectively the worst thing about the movie
>>63591088
What do they define by slavery?
>>63591197
handsome gorilla you said?
>>63591917
Forced labor or debt bondage by the looks of it, definitely not chattel slavery
>>63591516
According to the book this guy actually existed and did save Solomon.
Brad Pitt playing him was the issue. I had no idea why he was in it until I remembered he was one of the producers.
>>63591245
>slavs
>not untermensch
>>63590560
To make it so the only white character that doesn't agree with slavery is not an American.
>tfw you self-insert as Fassbender
>>63592073
So the same as the US, right? Gotcha.
>there are people who don't like 12 years a slave
>>63590560
>>63590625
but that dude actually existed in real life
>>63590560
When will /tv/ admit this film is a masterpiece?
>but i hate blacks because /pol/ told me to!
Brad Pitt produced it so he probably want to appear in it.
>>63593940
It's a great film and the McQueen + Fassbender combo is always based.
At present, most people on 4chins are too afraid of being called a kek to admit that though.
By the way
Why did Lupita Nyongo win an oscar for this film?
I saw it just the once a few months after it came out and I can't bothered watching it again
But am I wrong in thinking she only had a couple of scenes and the biggest one involved her getting whipped for a while and nothing else?
How much speaking did she even do in her role?
To cure the zombie virus
