Finally got around to seeing this movie. Wow. 9/10

The scene concerning the two men who supposedly sold Solomon into slavery; they lay him in the bed, and then left him there; is it possible that someone else snatched him up? The way in which those scenes were shot made it ambiguous whether those men were guilty or not….

Honestly, the idea of them NOT being guilty never even crossed my mind.

It was the way the scene was shot.

They glance at the wine, that was supposedly spiked, yet i believe they were all drinking from the same wine bottle. Then, even when he's clearly unconscious, they continue speaking about him in good light, and make no indications of ill will towards him. I believe that it was meant to be ambiguous.
