Django Unchained and 12 years a Slave are two films that fall under the genre “torture porn”. Brutality torture and violence committed against another person was the main focus in both films. Barone and Schafer shared the same view that 12 years a slave was a horror show, scrutinizing the dark side of humanity, which strayed away from slavery in American history. Schafer pointing out that Solomon the main character was not seen for the person he truly was and instead focusing only on his discrimination and suffering. Brown suggested that slaves could not write or leave behind there personal experiences at that time which I agree with because information could be taken out of context exaggerated or written from a completely dissimilar view.
