这只是在过去的10年里,美国电影已经以奴隶制来到一个不合于的邪恶。所以它才是现在,经过100年的特征电影和一个世纪以来的内战结束以来一半,可以对哈里特淘汰的生活来实现一个强大而情感的诚实的电影。

“哈丽特,”来自董事Kasi Lemmons., mixes in some fictional elements, but it follows the broad outline of Tubman’s story. She was born in Maryland into slavery. She escaped when she feared she might be sold and made her way to freedom in the North. And then Tubman kept going back to the South, to rescue family and friends. She became known as Moses, a dreaded figure among the slave-holding classes who led their slaves out of bondage.

事实上,哈丽特·坦特曼甚至不应该是一个奴隶,即使根据当时存在的法律也是如此。在一个早期的场景中,她接近她的奴隶大师爱德华博罗塞,以法律证明,她应该自由,出生于自由。主人看文档,撕下它并告诉她回去工作。他不知道,但他刚刚做出了一个可怕的错误,而不仅仅是道德术语。他让她走了,Tubman可能会让他的家人幸免于很多悲伤。

我们可以阅读奴隶背面的奴隶制的不公正,但我们阅读了奴隶主的面临和举行的腐败。Lemmons了解这一点,进一步了解有些事情是错误的,他们扭曲了那些犯下那些错误的人。这些人关闭了他们的灵魂的一部分,并成为他们所可能的反向版本。获得足够的人,思考并做错了,你有一个不礼貌的社会。

这就是Lemmons和Co-Contromwriter Gregory Allen Howard在这里出席,奴隶主在精神上是邪恶的奴隶主义者。因此,我们看到,例如,哈丽特前女主人夫人索罗塞夫夫人(来自国家双人糖兰的詹妮弗·北部),恐慌她所有的奴隶都逃跑了。她痛苦,相信自己是受害者。“我们在这个社区的身材是由黑人衡量的!”她哭了。号泣。

如果这些角色与里面的声音丢失了触摸,那就像辛西娅·埃里韦一样的哈拉特,是他们的对面,与必不可少的联系人。我们了解到,她遭受了一个脑部伤害,破坏了她的头骨,让她敏感了头痛和咒语,也相信上帝正直接与她谈话,就像一个美国乔·克的美国琼一样。在这部电影中观看Erivo,你也相信。

M.aryland and Pennsylvania are close on the map, but Harriet’s first escape required that she travel 100 miles, most of it on foot. When she finally arrives in Pennsylvania, the sky is bluer, and colors are brighter. Lemmons makes Pennsylvania look like freedom. Suddenly, city streets look like normal streets, with all people going about their business, in harmony. We experience the relief of that, the sanity of it, so that when Harriet wants to go back to Maryland to free her family, we feel what that means. We know we feel it, because part of us wishes she would just stay in the North and relax.

当Tubman开始在地下铁路的职业生涯时,没有逃亡的奴隶法。从奴隶状态的奴隶可以通过穿过自由州来成为免费的,就像在冷战期间从东到西柏林的德国。但那改变了。最终,Tubman将从马里兰州送到宾夕法尼亚州的人来说是不够的。她不得不让马里兰州的人到加拿大。这需要一个错综复杂的废除者网络,以及电影,在某种程度上触及这个迷人的历史方面。

有时候,“哈丽特”有点太浪漫 - 从不相当孤独的雪橇 - 但它感觉就像一部电影也许比它更多。尽管如此,它有效,有时,移动,它在Erivo拥有一个主要资产。

Erivo is barely taller than the diminutive Tubman and seems able to look 25 or 40, at will, roughly the ages of Tubman over the course of the story. Most importantly, she exudes steadfastness and purpose. If she pointed in a direction, anyone with any sense would just shut up and follow her.
