12 Years a Slave I saw by myself at home on DVD and I thought it was also too graphic. The story was based on a true story but it's the director who gets to dramatize what may have already been dramatized in the book.
At least it had a happy ending with the man being reunited with his family. No more slave movies for me.

I could only watch
The Passion of the Christ twice. Not sure I could watch it again. I got through 30 minutes of
12 Years a Slave but decided to return it to RedBox. I will watch some more of it on another night. At that price, I can just get it again. Not a DVD I would like to own unless I get it by winning a The-Numbers prediction contest.

Another movie about evil ran rampant but in a small Iranian village is
The Stoning of Soraya M. --
