Emancipation (2022)
7/10
It's fine
2 July 2023
This film felt like a once in a decade oscar worthy masterpiece one minute and the next it felt like your average survival flick... The cons outweigh the pros, with The film was highly predictable, it used an unneccesary black and white colour shade that worked at first to convey the horrors of slavery, but as the film developed and the characters standards improved the grim colours didn't improve with them so it stopped working and started taking the little life that these characters could have had out of them. And of course a deus ex machina was used to defeat the main villain.

The only pros I can think of is the pacing, the at times decent cinematography and of course Will Smith was alright.

I will however end with saying that It's not a bad film. It's a film which shows a man who was forced to his lowest to fight the power to emancipate out of his chains to freedom... The excact feeling I had when watching this movie.
