11. Edwin Epps – 12 Years a Slave
Played by Michael Fassbender, this character, another one of the most hated characters and villains in movies ever, is designed to make Americans ashamed of their cruel past by embodying all the evil and resentment of slavers. His depiction works as a reflection of how society and institutions were founded on back then and, honestly, still are now in too many places. Touching a special fiber in America’s heart, Fassbender makes himself endlessly hateful with this unforgettable performance.
