I hate historical films, but "Uncle Tom's Cabin" wasn't bad. I didn't find it to be boring like other films. This story actually MIGHT have happened somewhere back in the old days, thus adding to a high level of verisimilitude. Slave escapes were very common back in the old days, as far as I know. The scene where Harry and Eliza escape from the plantation during the Winter really made me feel for the "Struggle", man. Now it is a silent film. For the record, I'm not the biggest fan. But it was 1927. What else could they do? They pulled it off wonderfully. The lighting was a nice touch too. The light really created a sort of aura around the actors while the background remained in a stellar darkness. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anybody really. As stated before, it isn't bad. It's just not my cup of tea.
