when she threw that bottle at lupita's charter i was like damn

I must say Sarah's portrayal of Mary Epps was scary, she played a great villian.

When she said if you hated me in the film then I did my job , I had to stand up and clap from my seat because I did. I really did she did a wonderful job

“If you hated me then i did my job.” 👍🏻 - A Real Thespian

Her character was the scariest, indeed. I understood what Paulson just said about Mrs Epp's upbringing making her the way she was but ugh...... It's so hard to even find an excuse to her cruelty. She was just evil. And to think that people like that existed.... It's hard for me to imagine how things were way back then. How hard life must have been. And how the white women felt "betrayed" and had no other way to get their revenge then to get the rival slave torn-down. Mentality is one incredible thing. And the saddest thing is if some (evil-natured) people nowadays had the possibility to still have slaves, they gladly would. (I know there's still slavery in the world but I mean, if it were..legal). Many people complain about too many slavery films being done (come on, there was just two in a row lol) but I personally think it's good. History has to be told. This shouldn't have happened and should never happen. These films just show the reality of how cruelly SICK the world can get.

She was great! Very striking in her performance in the movie...she made her character known for sure in this film...great actress!

I hated her in this movie but I love her in American Horror Story 😊

Sarah did scarily wonderful! Her eyes throughout the film were so cold. I loved her answer to the first question, very poignant...and true. I think she did a great job with book to movie transfer because even in the book, Solomon wrote about the Mistress as if he felt sorry for her, he knew she was a cruel bi*ch but he also understood way past his gender that this was a humiliated and cowardly woman and the only way she knew how 2 react was with utter terror and he was like that's the way she's gonna be, that's they way she'll always be since in her lifetime, things wouldn't have changed. I think Sarah should be proud of what she did in the film, not many actresses could play this without fear of how they're portrayed and getting in2 the mind of the character...but she did and Bravo!

That’s exactly what I was thinking - that this should be a staple in High School for reading / watching. It was so beautifully done. Our history should not be ignored.

As an actor myself, let me say this: We don't have to like the characters. What we have to try to do is understand them. I played a part like that, where I found it very hard at first to like my character. And to be honest, I still don't think I do. But I ended up getting some of the best reviews of my life.

You know she’s a great actress when you hate her character’s guts

This woman sent chills down my spine in the movie! THATS GOOD ACTING

Movies like this really help get knowledge to people about US History. The Help, Hidden figures, The Color Purple, Corina..

Everyone in the movie did amazing. They all showed how great of actors they are. The viewers could feel real anger towards some of the actors. That's great acting when you can make the viewers feel the feelings you're trying to display.

She is a good actress! She was a beast in this

Wow she seemed so uncomfortable talking about it. Love her as an actress.

I think Paulson's analysis of the character Ms Epps is spot on with a clarity of insight. And so she was able to play it just right.

Excellent actress 👏

She’s a brilliant actress!

Paulson did such a great job I didn't even realise it was her.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

The woman in this film is sickening to the core. For the one below me saying there is no evil. Stop making excuses people like her knew good and darn well what they were doing and chose to carry it out. She is a product of her environment is not always an excuse, not all whites owned slaves. because some knew it was wrong. See, they didn't let their "environment" get In the way of their morals. We all have choices and she chose the dark side.

this lady did such a good job i stopped watching her movies 4 years ...she comes of like she sympathizes with her character

Both of them did such a great performance 👌🏻

Thank you. We must never forget.

@Darksarset...the point of making these slavery films is to teach each generation so that they NEVER forget...in my day it was Roots...it's a part of history that isn't always taught in schools for obvious reasons...

Sarah P is an all around actress. Can play any part n make it hers really. Shes beautiful n so smart. Definatly an envy of alot of us!

Both sold this scene with their eyes, which makes it more intense and gut-wrenching. You can see the fear, cold-bloodiness and intimidation in the eyes of Paulson and Ejiofor.

She deserved an Oscar nomination too, her scenes were terrific

Sarah is so witty. You could just ask her anything and she could just answer it with accuracy and provide enlightenment.

She’s an amazing actress

Sarah Paulson is truly one of the best actress in history.

I said the same thing to my mom when I saw this movie, that I didn’t realize free black people in the North were kidnapped and sold as slaves. It should have been obvious, but I just never learned it. It needs to be taught in all schools in the US when we’re being taught about slavery.

Audio is ------

You know she’s a good actress because you still love her after this role.

She's great actress 💪

She is a great actress, also very intelligent and poised.

Not her making excuses for her character. Side eye

You know damn well they all had fun playing it 🤣 stop capping

Just watched this movie and a gotta say everyone acted brilliantly that it does'nt even feel like a movies it feel real

Handing that list was a test. The fact that he glanced at the list for a second gave her an idea that he could read. He kind of corrected himself.when he glanced at the list...like "uh oh she saw me glance. I'm in trouble"

I love her acting period

She enjoyed every bit of it

She is such a beautiful person. Inside & out.

Wow.. the way she explains the character and everything else..... I'm too dumb to come up with stuff like that. I hated doing theory work during drama class at school but now I see why it's needed 🙄

Sarah Poulson was EXCELLENT!!!!!!

I don't understand how she is trying to justify evil. Moria Hindly tortured children to death I don't understand why I need to try and understand that. Moria was put in prison for life and suffered as she hated every minute it was torture - an eye for an eye! All we want is justice! The woman Paula played was evil you cannot justify her actions - she had a choice to leave the slave did not!

I know women like her character in 2020 I respect Sarah for playing such an honest and unflinching character.

I was disappointed that Sarah had a role in the movie because I generally like her as an actress, so it was hard to watch her play an evil character. PS that interviewer needs to be replaced.

I absolutely hated her in this movie... Sarah Paulson will go far ❤

I love her🥰

She did a great job!

Oooooh she played Marcia Clark in that OJ mini series. She is a great actress!

Every time i see her i see American horror story. This woman is a legend a beautiful actress omg she made me hate her she needs awards

This was America. In some ways, this is STILL America. Great actress. Great movie.

Please make your audio mono. It keeps panning from left to right in my ear. Really bad

Why did Solomon frustrated the Epps so much? Really? -____-

She was great as always Hello from TAMPA ❤️ . Yes, black people went through hell back then . Horrible times😞 i cried whole entire movie .

I finally re-watch this movie after so many years and the one thing that I don’t agree with in his interview even though I think the actress believes it is that Mrs. Epps knew exactly what she was doing it had nothing to do with the lack of understanding of the nuance of the situation or to do better. Mr. apps knew exactly how this happened to her white fragility because that was the importance of the dancing scene Where Mrs. Epps through a heavy, thick, partially full bottle of liquor at Patsys head with full force. Right after that she demands that he sell Patsy, he says no, mrs. Epps threatens to leave him, and he tells her that Patsy is more important than her. I think the two nuances missed in that scene explain perfectly exactly who Mrs. Epps is and what she understands. When she threatens to leave as a severely Christian woman her husband because of Patsy. Not only is that very telling about how much of this she can no longer take but it also taught her again where her place was in this married the Patsy to some degree will always be above her which I think as a white woman in the south to be lower than a person that you didn’t even consider a person had to do a lot to her ego. Then when Mr. apps reminds her that if she leaves she’s going right back to the poor situation that she came from it reaffirms that he knows exactly how much she will put up with because she has no other choice and no other means to take care of her self but what I think is interesting is if she knows that for herself then she understands exactly where the slaves are coming from to some degree and should have more sympathy for Patsy but doesn’t because jealousy is a bitch and so is Mrs. Epps. I think what Mrs. Epps represented was the fact that the white women of back them even though they were also a disenfranchised and marginalized group with very little rate we’re just as eager and equally as capable of being malicious terrible people and should be held accountable to that.

I like how she answered these questions.😏 Good job lady

Love her she’s great ngl 💯

During her interview with GQ, she said it was hard to shake the negative effects that came with playing characters on AHS. But with 12 Years a Slave, 3:00 the role always lives inside you?

Last question by the interviewer was a completely stupid and irrelevant question pointed towards Sarah, which she handled with grace.

Great Actress!!!!!!

For some reason I always thought this actress was British.

She seems uncomfortable in this interview

Mistress Epps was vile!! You can't sugarcoat the facts of slavery, or indeed this story. Yeah I'd say that was incredible acting because I genuinely was appalled by the way she was in this movie.

I don't think you are a product of whomsoever raised you. I think people can be raised by psychopaths and indoctrinated to hate... and then move away from that. This is why movies like this are important. They depict hate as wrong, in a clear way.

I didn't even recognize her with the brown hair. I agree with what she says about the mistress. Its how your raised and brought up. The mistress doesn't see what she's doing as wrong. I loved how she went deep into the character and history behind it brilliant.

If y’all think her character was bad, just look up Madame Lalaurie from New Orleans. She was a slave owner and tortured her slaves in her attic. There’s an American horror story season inspired from it. Go watch Coven (the 3rd season of ahs) and you’ll see. It’s horrible

Sarah was perfectly cast for this role. I really believed she was the psychotic wife of a 19th century slave owner.

"I didn't know free people were taken is a big piece of this story and I think this is a book should go hand in hand with anything you're reading in junior high school, high school, and college on the history of slavery." - speaking for only about 60% of Americans

She's so articulated

*Sarah in the Movie:* [throws vase at Lupita’s character’s head, says vile things about her] *Sarah in Real Life:* [follows Lupita on Instagram (and vice versa), likes and leaves encouraging comments on her posts, is basically one of her motherly figures]

Her overbite is so amazing

l watched this movie and Sarah did a great job

Yes, another person who had it rough was Sandy Duncan as Missy Anne in Roots. On The OWN Network she talked about what it was like being one of the very few White Actors in a Miniseries that was predominately Black. After Kizzy gets sold off, Sandy remembers getting the Silent Treatment on the Set, folks especially Blacks spat on her in public and even her Grandmother thought she did what she did. It took her a long time to live it down and even to this day she never watched the Full Movie, it's too painful for her.

I met this woman. She was incredibly nice!

I was not trying to make you feel bad Sarah. You was great in that movie. I was just trying to make a legitimate point. Forgive me if I hurt your feelings 😔

Mrs. Epps more like Mrs. Sowerberry from Oliver Twist and Madame Thenardier from Les Miserables

There were actually people back then as cruel as the one she played. She meerly acted it out and did her

Shes incredible

I always enjoy Sarah

The point still stands. If "white guilt" films as you call them make you uncomfortable you don't have to watch.

She's amazing at playing a evil character

"I don't trust her, I don't think she's a good person, but I had to love her, in order to play her" Lady Gaga

That would be the worst acting gig in my opinion. Having to say and do some of the things would kill me. If I were offered an acting job like that, as painful as it would be, I️ would feel obligated to accept it because portraying the reality of the time is so important and history not learned from is bound to be repeated.

His choice of words was obviously bad. I understand what he was trying to say,but he should not have said it like that.....aside from that,his lack of interviewing "know how" should've been critiqued before he got the job of the official interviewer...of ANY ACTOR!!!

The Butler is a slave film? By the way, slavery extended beyond 300 years. There are many more stories from that huge stretch of time that are waiting to be told.

Está mujer en la película con la pura mirada intimidaba

"she doesn't know any better" earned my downvote.

@Dk946 Why don't you watch the red carpet, I asked a question just for you.

I thought she was brilliant in the movie. But I would never watch that movie again! It really bothered me the way the salves were treated.

As a black man these movies only strengthen racism.

i wonder sometimes when people play actors that have bad roles in movies gets negative reaction from people in real life

What a fiercely intelligent lady and a stunningly talented actress. Idiots on this thread who think she was an apologist for Mrs Epps have the insight of an amoeba

Iove her soooooo much

Cute lisp! She was phenomenal in this movie 🙏

I just watched this movie and really thought to get revenge on her "piece of shit" hubby she'd make Solomon sleep with her?...many women in her position did...never heard of Sarah Paulson b4 but she played her role really well...:)

Its not fiction its real

😆😆😂1:31 ''SHE DOESN'T KNOW ANY BETTER" A grown ass woman! Always looking for justification for Evil...
