## Description

Based on the thrilling and inspirational life of an iconic American freedom fighter, Harriet tells the extraordinary tale of Harriet Tubman's escape from slavery and transformation into one of America's greatest heroes. Haunted by memories of those she left behind, Harriet (Cynthia Erivo) ventures back into dangerous territory on a mission to lead others to freedom. With allies like abolitionist William Still (Leslie Odom, Jr.) and the entrepreneurial Marie Buchanon (Janelle Monáe), Harriet risks capture and death to guide hundreds to safety as one of the most prominent conductors of the Underground Railroad. Witness the story of a woman who defied impossible odds to change the course of her life and the fate of the nation.Bonus Content:Deleted ScenesHer StoryBecoming HarrietFeature Commentary with Director/Co-writer Kasi Lemmons

Review: Please do not cheat yourself out of an awesome experience - Ignore the bad reviews, see the movie, and make up your own mind. I have a bias here, because Harriet Tubman has been my #1 personal hero for most of my life. But that bias made me worry that the movie would screw things up, so I started watching the movie with a bias against it. I was blown away. And I am a total crab about movies. I’m the grouchy old lady who stomps around grumbling that they don’t make truly great movies like they used to. This is a truly great movie, the likes of which I have not seen in a very long time. Cynthia Erivo’s performance as Harriet Tubman is so magnificent that she seems to be channeling Tubman. She conveys, without a single false note, Tubman’s transformation from a brave but scared woman into a bold and confident leader. In general, the acting is superb. To give only two examples: Leslie Odom Jr. is splendid as the Black abolitionist William Still. And how a sweet country singer like Jennifer Nettles managed to come off as a queen-of-evil slave owner is beyond me, but she did it. I get the creeps just thinking about her character. The story is gripping, with well-developed characters that viewers care about and a lot of suspenseful action. Tubman’s courage was jaw dropping, and the movie leaves viewers in no doubt about this. She went south again and again and again to lead slaves to freedom, at terrifying risk to herself. Where did she get her courage? Tubman was quite clear about this: It came from God. Tubman also said that God sent her visions which warned her of danger and foretold the future. To its great credit, the movie respects Tubman enough to take her at her word. Her religious experiences are presented as real. Period. Take it or leave it. If you’d rather leave it, that’s perfectly fine. You'll still enjoy the movie if you interpret her uncanny sense of danger as nothing more than keen intuition. There was nothing pushy about Tubman’s religion. She was quite frank about her religious experiences, but she didn’t try to shove her religion down anyone’s throat. The movie is in no way anti-Black. There are only two Black bad guys in the movie, and one of them does something quite remarkable. Virtually all of the scum in the movie are White. But the movie also shows White people who put themselves in danger to help slaves escape. Some viewers mistakenly think the movie shows that Tubman was in love with a White man, her slave owner Gideon. What the movie clearly shows—SPOILERS AHEAD, all in parentheses—(is that Gideon had a sick obsession with Tubman, that he was a narcissist who mistakenly thought she liked him, and that he went nuts about all of this because she was Black. So why didn’t Tubman shoot Gideon dead when she had the chance? Not because she loved him, but because she thought he didn’t deserve an easy death.) (This is what Tubman told Gideon, after shooting off part of his hand: “You’ll die right here. On a frozen, blood-soaked battlefield, the moans of a generation of young men in your ears, dying in agony around you, for a lost cause. For a vile and wicked idea! For the sin of slavery! Can you hear them? God don’t mean people to own people, Gideon! Our time is near! You tried to destroy my family, but you can’t. You tried to destroy my people, but you won’t. God has shown me the future, and my people are free. My people are free!”) (That doesn’t sound like love to me. It sounds like justice, as in: “Let justice roll down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream.” Amos 5:24.) (There’s a real irony in this misunderstanding, because Tubman does fall in love—with a Black man, after her husband marries another woman. Of course, he can’t help falling in love with her. Unfortunately, he’s married, so they don’t do anything about it. This is presented with such exquisite subtlety that many viewers may miss it, especially given the trend in movies to just splat things out. It’s presented more directly in an outtake that’s included with the DVD—a outtake that makes your heart ache. If the movie’s director had known how badly some viewers would misinterpret the movie, she probably would have kept the outtake in.) END OF SPOILERS. This movie rightly celebrates a genuine American superhero, and does it in a highly entertaining way. The movie is truly inspiring, and we could use a lot of inspiration these days. Don’t miss it.
