"Amistad" is a film that lacks commerciality. Dim light, weird costumes and ancient language together form the characteristics of some of the scenes in the film. With John Quincy Adams giving a wonderful speech in the Supreme Court, the film also reached the climax of the plot. The artistic speech of John Quincy Adams also made the film a linguistic victory. There is another scene in the film not inferior to this court speech. At the end of the film, horror scenes such as whipping and suicide are comparable to the scenes of the concentration camp massacre in the movie "Schindler's List". The appearance of this scene also shocked some audiences at such a film with dense dialogue
