I dont think its a movie were supposed to "like"


the only thing that really bugged me in the movie, is they went so far out of their way to make slavery seem brutally real... but then made the Native Americans 5 second cameo laughable (between the black actors laughing on screen at the Indians dancing, and the people in the audience laughing)

rest of it was really powerful, outside of Brad Pitts horrible acting
