    3.5. Spielberg's non-famous and non-representative works have received mixed criticism and praise. Some of these criticisms come from dissatisfaction with the highly idealized way the film deals with historical events. If you think about it, similar criticisms are not wrong. Most of the time, we are disgusted with political correctness. What exactly are we disgusted with? It was aimed at recording reality, but in the end it was mixed with excessive ideals, whether it was active or passive. For...

    I watched this film without knowing it, one after another familiar face, and finally the director Spielberg came out, relieved. PS: Yes, Sir Humphrey of the Ministers is the President of the United States, very...

    The director undoubtedly has a very deep understanding of the core of the film's ideas, and at the same time he knows how to directly convey this spirit to the audience's mind and infect the audience's emotions. The film is full of the most noble civilized power of mankind, and its level of humanistic care is unparalleled in the subject matter of this...

    In fact, I am still quite disgusted with the religious smuggling and the washing of racial discrimination. However, the political aspect of this film is very well done. The rule of law and politics, the game of specific cases and the gladiatorial fights about civil war and slavery, finally ended in the compromise of real politics. Another thing that attracts me is the cross-cultural communication, which is very wonderful. I just watched "Blood Diamond" yesterday, and the same black actor...

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.
