    The name was poorly made and superficial. If you don't understand this, don't watch it, you probably don't understand much. Also, when will there be a big director like Spielberg who can grasp history in...

    Spielberg's courtroom scenes are indeed much better than other directors, and Anthony Hopkins was so good 20 years...

    Personal heroism is very burning and worthy of encouragement, but the improvement and protection of civilization requires more belly control! And a group of intellectuals who uphold principles - that requires education. Sadly and ironically, according to Wiki, there are rumors that Cinque may have later become a slave trader himself - something that historians dispute without clear evidence. Little is known of his later life, and rumors circulated. Some maintained that he had moved to Jamaica....

    I learned about this history first and then watched this film. Uncle Tearpil made a calm story, but the historical facts are more thrilling than the movie, and the situation at that time was more complicated. Uncle Tearpier has simplified the complex, and several court scenes are not brilliant, and they do not reflect the confrontation and conflict of real swords and guns (except for the riot at the beginning), but they make the emotions very heavy, maybe the old man is unwilling to show off...

Hopkins' former president "John Quincy Adams" asked Morgan Freeman where he was from, and Freeman said he was from Georgia. Hopkins said this is not your only story, you should have come a long and hard road for freedom and human rights. At this point we thought: Yeah, why else would he be called "Freeman"...

    Regarding the heavy subject of black slaves, Lao Si directly put the key scenes in the courtroom, whether it is the state court or the Supreme Court, whether it is to let the immature McConaughey take the lead, and affectionately recount the moving feelings of slave survival, even the judges tremble and defect, or It was very encouraging to let the seasoned Hopkins speak his mind and criticize the empty-talking nature of the law and refute everyone...

    This movie is really the main theme of TM, and it's done really well. It's that the black man reading the Bible is too blatant and obvious, but I still give it four stars, there is really a lot to...

    Just like when I read a history book, I want to read it, but I can't finish it....
