      shining freedom

      Just finished watching. It's beautiful. The scene of these black people being abused on the boat is simply appalling. The history of slavery is really disturbing. Part of the responsibility for the development of society and the country is probably to eliminate such injustices. Still have to look forward, everything will get better and better. The movie is also full of superstars, many of them are familiar faces, Morgan Freeman, Anthony, Matthew McConaughey, and black protagonists, who have...

      "Fearless"

      Or Hopkins. Still a true story.

      The title of the film is actually "Amistad," which is the name of a slave ship. We like to learn from Hong Kong and Taiwan these days, and we randomly put up a sensational and eye-catching name to increase the box office. In fact, we don't have any performances here.

      The story is about 1839. On the Spanish slave ship "Amistad", the slave leader Zink took the lead in the rebellion and controlled the whole ship by force. 53 Africans have been charged...

      The silence before the explosion?

      The most interesting thing about watching a Spielberg movie is seeing how he reveals his romantic feelings in the first few minutes. This movie is about the 80th minute, which is the latest in history, and from this point of view, the whole The movie is very unspielberg, you can't imagine he did "Jurassic Park 2" half a year ago and "Saving Private Ryan" half a year later. The biggest problem with the movie is that it is lengthy. Although the value of the play itself is good, the shooting...

      Examples of Theme Movies

      Introduced by Linda's "I also have a dream", I searched for this film. This case is too suitable for making a movie, and it must be an American themed film: natural human rights, freedom and equality, separation of powers, the concept of the rule of law, racial equality, and independence of state rights. Almost none of the core concepts of the United States (should be liberals) are complete There, there are even passages that teach outsiders to identify with American culture.
      You must know...

      Facebooking History

      The history of profiling for opposition's sake: I don't believe that a lawyer on the street beat a bunch of other idiots like an angel, saving a group of black Africans who were pure enough to chop melons and vegetables to destroy the notorious slave gang.
      Although Americans feel guilty about that piece of history, the power of the movie is not political correctness, the director is the athlete, not the referee. Can't be so one-sided and exaggerated.
      I think in the historical...

      Admirable audio-visual experience and a story full of humanitarian spirit, in "Broken Rage" adapted from real events, director Steven Spielberg gave the audience another moving discussion about the right of race to survive, from a certain In a way, it's like a slave version of Schindler's List. The strong cast and excellent performance, as well as the excellent grasp of the film's rhythm, are very...

      The so-called prelude to the American Revolutionary War, the slave riots on the Amsda, and the subsequent court rescue operations in the United States, represent a challenge to the southern serfdom by the American northern judicial community. After reading it, you will understand that American independence The war is not a civil war that broke out simply to save the black people, it is a war about human freedom and the redemption of human nature. Linda's "I have a dream too" has a very long...

      The rhythm of the film is still good, I am very satisfied with the viewing experience, especially the performance of Anthony Hopkins, everyone is always everyone, every film performance is so united, Mobike! Another sigh is, how can there be so many human beings in this world who consider themselves to be civilized, but they can righteously think that other people are slaves and property? How distorted human nature was in those years! 9 points...

    Movie plot

    In the summer of 1839, when the Spanish slave ship "Amistad" with 53 black Africans was sailing not far from the coast of Cuba, it was caught in a storm. The slave leader Xinke took the lead in the rebellion and controlled the ship by force. They have only one purpose: to return home. After drifting on the east coast of the Americas for two months, the Amistad was intercepted by the U.S. Navy off the coast of Connecticut. 53 Africans...

    Evaluation action

    "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...

    Movie quotes

    • John Quincy Adams: [to the Court] This man is black. We can all see that. But can we also see as easily that which is equally true: that he is the only true hero in this room? Now, if he were white, he wouldn't be standing before this court fighting for his life. If he were white and his enslavers were British, he wouldn't be standing, so heavy the weight of the medals and honors we would bestow upon him. Songs would be written about him. The great authors of our times would fill books about him. His story would be told and retold, in our classrooms. Our children, because we would make sure of it, would know his name as well as they know Patrick Henry's. Yet, if the South is right, what are we to do with that embarrassing, annoying document, The Declaration of Independence? What of its conceits? "All men created equal," "inalienable rights," "life, liberty," and so on and so forth? What on Earth are we to do with this? I have a modest suggestion.
