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 background at that time, this incident will never be so vivid, but all parties have their reasonable reasons at the time, otherwise there will be no need to go through a long period of time, and must go through a bloody civil war to completely end Slavery.
Historical films are not easy to make, and this one is also not immune, despite being a great director.

    Except that the defender Baldwin is not a raunchy and profitable young man, the film is quite outstanding. On the contrary, this father-in-law is the grandson of the founding father Roger Sherman. He has a successful career and has no selfish interest in participating in the Amistad case, only for justice. The decent clothes of this group of trial persons were donated by the great abolitionist Louis Tapan. He was also the person who organized many lawyers including Baldwin (only Baldwin was played in the movie) to participate in the defense of the case. Another protagonist in the movie.

    Anyone who has seen it knows that it is a rare good movie. Full of the heaviness of history. It's a pity that everyone was dazed by the Titanic that year...causing a lot of good films to be buried. Personally, I don't like the latter... Besides, what the hell is this translated name?

Amistad quotes

  • [the slave fortress in Sierra Leone is being bombarded from sea]

    Captain Fitzgerald: Fire. Fire. Fire. Take a letter, Ensign. To His Honor, the United States Secretary of State, Mr. John Forsyth. My dear Mr. Forsyth, it is my great pleasure to inform you that you are, in fact, correct. The slave fortress in Sierra Leone does not exist.
