Note: I spewll like Tommy Wiseau
Uncle Tom's Cabin
This is my review on Uncle Tom's Cabin from the distant future year (To Uncle Tom) of 1927(1100 years before Metrppolis)
Its based on a book from the 1800s meeant to make slavery look bad, sorta like the Pro Life Film Unplanned, that my dad read me the Classics Illustrated Comic of in the 90s

Its said to have been inspired by aactual events, but 1 souce says thar when Thomas Dixon saw a play of it, he found it so inaccurate, he wrote the books that becamev The Birth Of A Nation
So after Title and Creditrs we get a photo/quote from Robert E Lee saying he don't like Slavery
So looks like The Confederates were more than justr slave owners rights
Like Ben FraNKLIN IN 1776
so its 1856 and in Kentucky is this fam the shelbys who were there since the revolution
they have a gaye olde timee of 1800s fun riding horses AND PLAYEING CROW Kay and having a party for a slave being married
they had this el;iza girl since she was a aby and see her as pasrt of the famioly
thuis chixcj asks a little bllack girl names salome, after te bible villian, where the kids are and thet jump put and dance singing of the chick, eliza being married
the shelby rents were kind owners and southern gentle folke and this groom is a slasve rented to the shelbys by thge month
sorta like the hollywood studfio system renting out actors?
btw; my grandpa was a slave in 1940s poland, worked on a farm for a poor german fam
a cart of watermellons goes by and 1 goes off and these kids eaty it
shelbys note is due and he sent tom to cincinnati for the money and tom halleyt (2 toms Tom Tom?? The Crow??) sez uncle tom wont come back as he went to a free state
so eliza and geoege are gettiing married and the slaves say they are almost like Whites, whuixch thwy are played by em and look sorta italiano or portovbuese
so then its night and everyones parttying and dancing and uncle tom comes by
his famn had been withg the shelby's fdor 3 generatiuons abnd he brought thwe money for his owner
tom haley is surprized that uncle toim camew back and uncle tom gos to his cabin with his fam and gives his mom a pipe
ed harris the owner of george comes by to get george and george is in a tree with eliza wanting to buy his freedom and come for her
jarris i mean harris yells for george and is mad geoege married w/o harris's consent and slugs him
george neartly attacks his owner and some chick, wait its shelby wife, wants him to be nicer and offers to buy george
harris sez george aint for sale and pullsgeorge awau while george is making out with eliza and they go
so time skip years later and george has a young son and eliza is writing on a chalk board with a chick lettes and sh-t
tom haley loaned money to the shelbys over da years and now he wants uncle tom as payment
shelby seez a guy running across the snow area and to the slave house and its boy george who eliza lets in ther window
wait, i think the girl is the son and has long hair
george is running away from his owner and hugs his gilry son who then goes out
turns out his owner is making him marrty another slave tonight and he dont consent
is this like joseph not consenting to the guys woman trying to seduce him as he knew it was a sin?
son goes to see shelby man and hus name is called jim crow and does a little dance for them
george is gonna run off to soviet canada and work to earn her freedom
After the war, my grandpa went to anada and earned enough money to bring his wife and son fom slovenia as the commies took over and were gonna execute him for goiung against em
so shelby relents and sells uncle tom to tom haley but it dont cover the while debt
geroge wants to have eliza buy their sons freedom 1st and she sez shelby will never sell him but thom hardy wants to buy the son and sez he'd foreclose in his account if he dont
george goes off and when eliza comes in she hears shelby say he has no choice and now thim gets both tom and son
tom haily checks out eliza as she goes off wiith her son and holds him and in toms cabin, tom is glad the Lord gave him so much good
A Fasmily, Food, A home, Friends
nowadays people have far more and are less happy
eliza busts in and tells tom that shelby sold her son and tom and tom is in shock
you wa shock!
she wants to escape but tom has a sense of duty and won't leave
she runs off in the snow and tommy h is displeased and has trackers with dogs searching
wait its harris with the dogs and tracking his goeorge and they tgrailed him here
harris and haily team up like catwoman and penguin in batman returns and the shelbys hpope they are not caught by h and h
so the dogs are on the trail of eliza and she runs as the horses of h and h follow
rather than be caught, she throwes her kid off a waterfall to spare him the punishment of slavery
jk thats the victor seastrrom thing
really they find a cabit and go in and meet people
h and h come to a n ice river like way down east and decides that as no one can cross it, to stop at the inn for the night
and the ionn is the place the eliza went
she hears through the hdoor that they are looking for george and his fam and this lawyer there gives him a card but its ripped up
lawyer asks for 100 $ for the girl but as the girl belongs to shlby laywer can sell thge girl down the rivber
she hears em and escapes in the wuindow asop when they come in she's gone
they see da window and chase aFTER AND she gets to the water fall by the river of ice flows and jumps across them like a mario game
the dogs follow and fall in da water and she falls in but goes on
pphienas fletcher is a quaker from a free state on the side of the river and sees her and tells her to hurry cuz the falls are below
he hangs under a tree and grabs her as her ice flow is going over and they comehow climb up and escape
althopugh she's in a free state, the Dred Scott Ruling said slaves were still slaves even in free states, like how in the 70s the supreme court ruled the unborn had noi rights, but worse as slaves can be freed and once you chop up that kid, its dead
phienas sez to eliza her husnband cross da riuver and is heading for soviet canada butr she sees the lawyer in the window and he wants to sell her down the river for money
the cops come for em and it fades out to uncler toim beign sold down trhe river and put in chains
augustine st claire of new orleans and his cousin ms ophelia are there and little eva is this blonde girl who is being nice to the slaves on the lower decks of the river steamer by giving em treats
she looks like a young lillian gish from the birth of a nationwith that dress and hair
she meets uncle tom and comforts him as he';s bummed and boy geoerge si working on the river steamer and searching for his womana nd child
he sees hardy and harris i think and tries to hide but hardy catches him and is gonna sell him back
but he jumps into rhe furnace of the river steamer as he'd rather be in h=ll than a slave
jk really he goes back to work on feeding logs to it
eliza and her son, whos called harry now, are chained and gonna be sold down the river on the steamer thats arriving
george runs and is by the warter wheel as it stops as the boatpulls in and swims out from it
eliza sees tom in chains and is drivcen onward by a whip after a meeting and little eva wants to have her dad buy him
lawyer and his whip man tell eliza haleys on board and if she ewants to keep her kid to stay low
evas dad augustine buys tom and he';s happy to have a kind master
whipo guy and lawyer and a 3rd guy are gonna, a plantationowner, are there and he buys eliza for 400 $, which was a lot in the 1800s
lawyer has whip guy use what looks liejm a ciugarete of t=mpon to lure the son over and as he comes, mon unconsciously grabsd his shoe and it comes off
son goes on and gets the t=mpon and they get him and take him off as he spazzes out
later mom wakes up and the plantation owner has left as the boat pulls in
kid breaks free and runs back and is caughtand she sees him and runs out
lawyser and whipo are there and she fights em and runs out onto the cart and grabs her kid but ius pulled off
she gets the whip and wails on whip guy but he overpowers her and the kid is taken off
so lincon is elected and the elites and the media hate him for being against their racket to prey on the innocent by saying they ain't REAL people
Totally not like Trump and The Unborn
in april 12 1861 friday; fort sumter is attacked and the civil war starts
but the uniuon was treating the south likwe Amnerica treats mexico and viewed them as lesser and worse
so little eva is brightening up toms life and he reads that lincon is gonna free the slaves
btw the book was wriotten in the 1850s and the movie moves it forward with things we know hap[pened later
;ike the 60s ver of The time Machine with WW1 and 2
meanwhile this black kid called topsy like hanks dads friend in king of the hill is jiding behind this nerd chick in thionk ms opfeila and ms o calls for him
wait, i think topsys a girl and brings flowers to little eva
man they made topsy looks ret-rded
so ms 0 calls topsy who cartwheels over liek sportacuz and has a long ribbon hidden in her cllothes that ms o takes out like a clown or magician
topsy says she never saw it b4 and is shook by ms o for lying and more cr-p falls outta her clothes
no woonder she's ret-rded; sje got shook all night long
after some blurred vison from brain damage; she admits to stealing the gloves but denies the ribbit
then joyfully wants the whip, only to freak out when ms o whips her a55
augustine come sin and i mean comes in and sez to take care of topsy and topsy and eva sit and eva tries to get her to be good but topsy thinks its her skin that makes her bad
little eva sez she can be lobed if black and topsy thionks they cant be loved
so little eva saez she loves topsy and topsy cries at this friendship
its like degrassi but hetero
eva sez to be good as she might not be here long and topsy freaks out
thern we see a glow around little eva;'s head like a halo of a saint
then topsy is powdering her face with make ip and ms o comes in and topsy sez she wanted to look White for little eva
then little eva bite sit and we see an etherial thing of an Angl carryoing out her soul inot the light and its pretty well done
later topsy brings her a flower and ms o catches her and topsy wishes to be dead too
ms o comforts the topsy and says she will love her and then augustine bites it and his property is sold at auction
simon legree, who was laster reused in birth of a nation, is a cruel yankee slave owner and buys tom
btw wwasnt there a war going on? is this like suddenly last summer in late 30s spain where a guy goes on vacation?
so simon buys i think elizza and meanwhile, boy george is looking for the guy whjo owns his son
on legrees plantation, man it looks like a DUMP, simom slugs out a slave for spilling beer, did they have it in those bottles in the 1860s?
simon ttries to b0ne eliza and this slave cassy who's son was sold years ago is lkistening in anbd when simon goes to see her at da door, eliza gets awau
cassy dont want her place as taken by eliza and simon is gonna send her to the slave quarters but sahe sez simnons afraid of her
man simon looks devolved
so these 2 slaves get tom in trouble for prayimg, as i guess simon is a democrtat, and tell tom to whip cassy
btw; thats to a Republican President hated by the elites and media, The Courts have ruled that you can't fire someone for Praying
What kinda commie satanist fires someone for praying?! What next? arresting someone for not believing in obvious lies?
So tom dont consent to whipping her so simon slugs him and sez he owns tom, body and souil
tom sez simon owns his body but the soul belongs to The Lord
because of Toms faith; joss whedon simon has Tom whipped
themn the yankees attack tthe south, which is seen as a "good" thing, but its more like the Soviets attacking Getmanmy in WW2 sand raeping all the women
wait,m why are the people welcoming iun the tyankkees? i thought this was tthe south! This makes no sense!
then again; we have Americans hating on America and siding with the enemy
So as the slaves play music, cassy tends to Tom and Tom tries to help her heal from her pastt
cassy was taught to be Whitre but then theyy sold her baby to a man called shelby and sold her down the river
tom sez that's elizas story and shhelby was his master too and cassy realizes that eliuza is here as both got sold to the simeon
cassy goes to see simon as he creeps on her like woody allen on kid chichi from dragon ball and she thropws eliza on da floor
cassy saez elizas trying top steal her man and whips eliza but after chasing her inbto a room, and cllosding the door, locks it and says to eliza that shes her mom
theyu have a mother and hild reunion like that degrassi ep was called and simon comes to the door so cassy whips the area and her and eliza escape from the window
thet come to toms place and simon sees em and cassy sez simeon thinks his victimns gghosts hauint the attic so thet go up there
simeon asks tom where they went and slugs him when he dont tell as the union aRMYY approaches w/o any oif em knowing
then da weind blowes and simon hears soundds in da attic and tom sez its da ghosts
wait that wasnt tom as now they brought him in and simon is gonna wack him if he dont tell em where the women are
tom dont consent so they whip him offscreen, which meantr they're b0ning him in the reall version
so after the whipping, tom forgives themn and bites it and simon starts going nuts, and dtrinking then seeing toms ghost
which makes no sense as 1st: Tom is not vengeful, he's a good Christian whgo takes no revenge
2nd: The book ends with tom biting it, so this extra bit is all filler and non canon
3rd: There's no supernatural thing in the book, its like having a lAW AND oTder ep where it has McCoy blowing a hole in a guy wioth a Ki Blast
4th; it goes against the theme of the book! Its meant to show slavery as unfair, ending with the slave owner being punished is like ending romeo and juliette with them being revived and living happy
so simon goes up stairs after a see through possibly imaginaryyuncle tom and sees tthe attic wioth wind, so he sends him slaves up and wjhip[s em when they fear
so they go in and eventually find eliza and cassy, then the slaves run out in fear
the yankees comeand the slaves try to get help from em
cassy fights siimon ewoth a knife or pointed stick or somnething and sinon gets it but eliza hits him and cassy gets the whip aand wails on him
geoerge hears eliza calling andhe with his kid go up as simon gets the whiop and is gonna enmd em
thearmy is comming and somin sees tiom there anmd attacks him but he keeps vanishing
i think this is what star wars ep 008 the last jedi riopped poff
tom ghost is out a window and simnon walks out as he's an idiot and bites it
tthe army is all in there asthey have nothing better to do and elliza sees her son there and reuinites
boy geortge is there too and ttheyt hug and we get a vision of the union army above em as "His Triuth Is MarChing On" plays, wait, wasmn't thatr in Birth of a Nation?
the end
well, that was well made
yeahh it changed a lot,m but unlike bram stokers dracula, it wasnt a f==king p0rn0
it also skipped the thing of augustine wanting to free tom but getting iced and i think a part of top helping eva
liike the kevin smith he man; the focus isnt on the title character, but rather the female friend
except this didn't s=ck and the female character was likable and had heart
I'm not sure how accurate this was, but it didf show that masters could be kind, instead of showing anytone who owned a slave as some kind of devoluionized barbarian who is irredeemable
the filming and action werer well done and the acting was good
the characters stood out and you could twll who was who easy
nice effects for the blizzard and good shhost effects
its a decent version of the story and has themes that hold up today
hglad i saw it
for Uncle Tom's Cabin 2 I want it to be about eliza and her fam trying to manage in the world now that they are free and the issues they encounter, also its a 128 bit game on GameCube, Xbox, ps2 and DreamCast where you play as menbers of the family and try to handle a farm like in Harvest Moon and deal weith things like regegade ex slaves and the klan
