Is it true that love or family affection has changed history?

This film is not very eye-catching, there are no big stars, but each character is portrayed three-dimensionally and vividly, with many facets.

Dido is a girl who aspires to be recognized by the upper class in society. Even if she becomes a rich girl, she still hopes to have a husband and live the life that an upper class woman should have.

But she met the son of a priest, a poor young man full of justice and ideals. It is inevitable to be attracted by him, because this man truly treats her equally and never discriminates against her skin color. They come together because of the common values, which is the process of Dido's personality independence and the process of truly accepting himself.

She was impressed by her strong appearance. She cried to the mirror alone at night, clutching her black skin, and wanted to tear off the shame of other people's eyes. At this time, Dido was still deeply constrained by secular concepts and did not have an independent personality.

In the other scene, the wife of the judge calmly reminded her husband of his original intentions and ideals, which made me stand in awe of this woman who may be a bit prejudiced.

Belle quotes

  • John Davinier: 'Tis pitiful. Such inability to simply know what value to put on another's life.

    Dido Elizabeth Belle: What price a worthless negro?

    John Davinier: You utterly misunderstand me. I am saying that no man may have the value of cargo. Human beings cannot be priced since we are priceless - free men and slaves alike. I am with others here. All students in law, applying pressure on the insurance companies to refuse from hereon to insure slaves on any ship.

    Dido Elizabeth Belle: But that would require a change in law.

    John Davinier: How can we expect to be civilized when we live in such a barbaric world? It is the utter injustice.

    Dido Elizabeth Belle: It is more than that. It is the shame of a law that would uphold a financial transaction upon that atrocity.

  • Dido Elizabeth Belle: Is Mabel a slave?

    Lord Mansfield: I beg your pardon?

    Dido Elizabeth Belle: Is... Mabel... a slave?

    Lord Mansfield: She is free, and under our protection.

    Dido Elizabeth Belle: Oh, like me.
