So, I saw 12 Years a Slave

Which is the absolute best movie I have ever seen which I have no intention of ever seeing again (a compliment to it). ( first of all, a partial list )

( The movie: spoilers )

( a comparison )

( the moviegoing experience )

( last but not least, heartfelt thanks )

In summary, I'm really glad I saw 12 Years a Slave, even though or maybe because I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight.
