"12 Years as a Slave" is indeed better, but keep in mind that "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is one of those prehistoric books who fitted for the time they were written and now remembered either as nostalgia or as prehistory. Like "Tarzan". DiCaprio's character is based on Legree, so in a way, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" did keep its place in popular culture.
