    It seems that Lincoln's first half has not changed in style. Property lawsuits uphold the spirit of founding the country, an anthem to the American legal system. The lawsuit is detailed but the role arc is extremely safe and sensational. The black leader Hawthorne's enthusiasm can be regarded as the ignition point. Attorney Matthew in ancient costume has a weird demeanor. In fact, he is not suitable for Wei...

    In the lively 1997 movie year, a less eye-catching one; in Spielberg's work, a relatively unpopular one. "My view of human nature is-freedom. The evidence is that once men, women and children lose their freedom, they will do everything possible to regain it. He will break free from the shackles and annihilate the enemy. He will persevere, overcome all difficulties and overcome prejudice, until he...

    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....

    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...

    "Fearless"

    Or Hopkins. Still a true story.

    The title of the film is actually "Amistad," which is the name of a slave ship. We like to learn from Hong Kong and Taiwan these days, and we randomly put up a sensational and eye-catching name to increase the box office. In fact, we don't have any performances....

    The power of human introspection

    In conjunction with Linda’s "I also have a dream", you can learn more about the historical background of the film, the opposite attitudes towards slavery from the north and the south, and a deeper understanding of the power of human introspection and the importance of Christianity to Americans....

Amistad quotes

  • Baldwin: Ignore everything but the pre-eminent issue at hand. The wrongful transfer of stolen goods. Either way, we win.

    Tappan: Sir, this war must be waged on the battlefield of righteousness.

    Baldwin: The what?

    Tappan: It would be against everything I stand for to let this deteriorate into an exercise in legal minutia.

    Baldwin: Mr. Tappan, I'm talking about the heart of the matter.

    Tappan: As am I. It is our destiny, as abolitionists and as Christians, to save these people. These are people, Mr. Baldwin, not livestock. Did Christ hire a lawyer to get him off on technicalities? He went to the cross, nobly. You know why? To make a statement. To make a statement, as must we.

    Baldwin: But Christ lost. - You, I think...

    Tappan: No, sir, he did not!

    Baldwin: You want to win, don't you?

    Tappan: Yes.

    Baldwin: I certainly do. Hell, sometimes I don't get paid unless I do. Which brings us back to the question of worth. In order to do a better job than the Son of God's attorney I'll require two and a half dollars a day.

  • Joseph Cinque: I met my ancestors.

    Joseph Cinque: I will call into the past.

    Joseph Cinque: Far back to the beginning of time and beg them to come and help me at the judgement.

    Joseph Cinque: I will reach back and draw them into me and they must come.

    Joseph Cinque: For at this moment I am the whole reason they have existed at all.
