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 played the role of blood diamond starring Xiao Lizi, their acting skills are all very good and wonderful, especially the old man at the end. Great speech.

I haven't seen much about black slave movies, but they all let people know something about the situation in that period, such as the rescued Django, who was a slave for 12 years. The attitude and cruel way of treating black slaves are also shocking. . All are good movies.

Five stars.

    The film’s other name is "Broken Lock Rage". There are two particularly touching climaxes in the film: First, the black leader Zink stood up in court and miraculously shouted in substandard English: "Give Us Free!" Just like in "Brave Heart," Wallace yelled "Freedom!" in front of the guillotine. This stunned everyone in the court! The second is the retired President John Quincy Adams, which is the most incisive interpretation of the American spirit, delivered at the scene of the Supreme Court. This makes people cannot help but sincerely admire the founding fathers of the United States. It was their lofty social ideals that pushed human society from a barbaric society of violence and power to a civilized society where everyone is free and equal. The reason why the United States is great is that these founding fathers established a clear system of values ​​for the United States and a set of reasonable institutional structures for the civil rights government.

    The first paragraph is too bland, and the latter is broken and desperately sensational. The subject matter is also relatively indifferent.
