Human rights and love

From the perspective of characterization and narration, the film is quite satisfactory. I mainly see that human rights and feminism are only possible because of the popularity of books and the education of the British aristocracy. The most admirable thing in the movie is the adoptive father and adoptive mother. First, the adoptive mother inspired the adoptive father’s dreams and passions when he was young, and reviewed why she married him. , Gave the man a fatal blow? So the adoptive father had great courage and made a decision to change history. Finally, I have to say that the mixed race is really smart and courageous enough to choose freedom and love in that era.

Belle quotes

  • Lord Mansfield: What do you want, Dido? What precisely are you looking for? I have enabled every rule of convention so that you would know exactly where you belong. And yet, little appears enough for you.

    Dido Elizabeth Belle: And what if there were not a rule, Papa? What if the rule that allowed you to take me did not exist? Would you have returned me to the slums? You *are* courageous. When it comes to the matters you believe in, society is inconsequential. You break every rule when it matters enough, Papa. I am the evidence.

  • John Davinier: Religion cannot be the only guardian of our morality. Of course not. There is self-responsibility. And failing that, does the law not have a duty? Does the bench and parliament not have a duty to uphold and create the laws that progress our morality, not... not retard it, if not to protect us from others, then to protect us from ourselves? Laws that allow us to diminish the humanity of anybody are not laws. They are frameworks for crime. And, quite frankly, I really do not care if you, as an individual, are without character or conscience, but a land whose laws sanction, not control, the barbarous among its citizens, that is a country whose hope is lost.
