12 Years a Slave - Solomon and Mr Epps To Patsy
In this graphic scene in the otherwise splendid movie, Epps punishes his love/hate interest Patsy for going away to buy soap by whipping her, only when he gets to it, he orders Solomon to do it. When he does mildly, he orders him to strike her harder. But when he does several times, Epps grabs the whip and strikes her even harder, leaving her barely alive.
