Let us just say that it has taken a hundred years before a halfway American film could show the impact of a whip on a bare back. What will we do in our land of anniversaries to mark that occasion? How will the film business greet the awkward occasion, when no movie ever did more to create this business than The Birth of a Nation? It made the money that built theaters and production companies, and was the film that encouraged the audience to be patient and excited with long-form narratives. 12 Years a Slave is a film that necessity and education demand seeing. David Thomson is the film critic for The New Republic and the author, most recently, of Moments That Made the Movies.
