"Strange Grace": Not strange is not grace

Two hundred years ago, the Westminster Abbey council was stubborn and spoke for the prohibition of black slaves. As the tide ebbs and flows, comrades may retreat or hide or die. One more woman with an exquisite mind, the Slender became the driving force of history after all. You said that "Strange Grace" is a model drama that "make up your mind, don't be afraid of sacrifice, overcome all difficulties, and strive for victory." But since "the triad is also patriotic," the model drama is of course good-looking. The past of "Strange Grace" is already moving, and it's just a good movie.

Using movies to talk about history and running accounts to drive customers will inevitably lead to the charge of distorting history. George Clooney's Good Night, and Good Luck tells the story of CBS reporter Edward Murrow challenging McCarthy, and Slate's film review: Good Night, and Good Luck and Bad History. I don’t know anything about the status of William Wilberforce in "Strange Grace." There is an article about him in London’s Sunday Times: But it is said that Wilberforce’s hometown and constituency is Hull, which is a port city in the east of England, facing the North Sea, and it is not based on "re-exports". The black slaves started. He became a member of Congress when he was only 21 years old, and he spent more money to buy votes than his father; he organized a moral reform committee, and banned books can also be counted on him. For those who can talk about it, I dare to think that the present is not the past.

It has been said that "Strange Grace" is a gospel movie, and each takes what it needs. In my impression, the Old Testament did not criticize slavery. The black slaves were all Christian countries. According to the Wiki, the Pope once advocated the enslavement of infidels.

Wilberforce is indeed a religious man. Before he joined secular politics, he thought about "being a monk," and it was so popular with the poet John Newton of "Strange Grace". If you can't deal with others, how can you deal with ghosts.

    There must be some "basic" people~ Go and appreciate it slowly~~ Although it is a bit simple~~ A little impatient~ A little sign of water hibiscus soon~ But history is still worthy of our respect!

    The human radiance of an idealist.
