I orginally submitted an essay about my issue with slave/servitude movies on Sept. 25, weeks before "12 Years As A Slave" had its limited release in theatres and before I had seen the film.   Since then, I have seen it, (and wrote a review for The Root.) In short,  my thoughts on "12 Years As A Slave" after viewing it were:   As good as 12 Years is, it is also the most awful experience I have ever had in a theater. At that same 20-minute mark where I acknowledged I should have waited to see it, I also wanted to walk out.
