Well, for the sake of the movie, I hope that people can focus on it and not Will Smith's infamous slap of another brother.
I read the the movie had mixed reviews.
You know, I looked and looked for more information about the true event of Gordon, also known as Whipped Peter, but apparently, after his picture was posted and sent out everywhere, the rest of his life is completely unknown. So then, the movie Emancipation, in that it follows Gordon and gives him a storyline of trying to get back to his family is 'fiction'? I wonder does anyone know what the truth is about the end of Gordon's life.
Anyway, I do hope to see the movie, though. I wonder what Chris Rock is saying? And on that note, some sights say that the slave Gordon was actually whipped brutally by another Black man, a slave. What a horror.
