12 years of slavery Official Trailer !

12 Years a Slave is a 2013 American-British epic historical drama film and an adaptation of the 1853 memoir of the same name by Solomon Northup, a New York State-born free negro who was kidnapped in Washington, D.C. in 1841 and sold into slavery. He worked on plantations in the state of Louisiana for twelve years before his release. The first scholarly edition of Northup's memoir, co-edited in 1968 by Sue Eakin and Joseph Logsdon, carefully retraced and validated the account and concluded it to be accurate. In the pre-civil war based in the United states, a free black man named Solomon Northup from up-state New York is abducted and sold into slavery. Facing cruelty at the hands of a vindictive slave owner, as well as unexspected kindness, Solomon struggles not only to stay alive, but to retain his dignity.

The use of Alverado's theory with the representations of black males makes an excellent  links with this film. The film 12 Years A Slave links with the pittied section of Alverado's theory as you can see that the film was based of slavery making the audience feel sympathy for the black characters.

Another section of representations in Alverado's theory is exotic an example of a exotic black person is the singer/song writer Beyonce, as you can see in the music video she presents herself as a seductive female with the use of her body movements and body langue. Ibelieve this is a great link to Alverado's theory of exotic. 

The film 'Get Rich or die trying' is a good example of a dangerous representation, as you can see in the film it contains features such as guns, knives, drugs and violence. This film shows the ways of receiving or making money illegally, also it has many gory scenes of black males dying within the film. This film has a gangster image or gang-bangers and fights, I believe it grasps the representation of Dangerous excellently.

I chose Kevin Heart to link with the humerus section of representations in Alverado's theory, as you can see Kevin Heart shows he is a very talented and funny comedian, he presents himself as sarcastic and also self concious and changes it into a way of humour, he is very succesful at what he does and enjoys making jokes about his family. This shows he doesn't really care what people think about him.
