    For a director, the most important thing is emotion. Armsda's sentiments are epic and grand, better than...

    It may be that the more vivid description of this history in Linda's book made me have high expectations for this film, which led to a little disappointment. There are many elements that can be deeply developed in this film (also determined by objective history), such as the praise of freedom, reflection on human nature, judicial independence, cultural communication, etc. It is a pity that they are all scratchy. Like a film that reflects this history, I feel that it is better to choose an angle...

    The African violet/African violet Saintpaulia ionantha (Gorgellaceae) appears in the film, evoking the homesickness of slave Zink. But this turned out to be a mistake - Cink is from Sierra Leone in West Africa, and Viola is from East Africa, and it is possible that Cink will never see this plant in his hometown in his life. (via:...

    If it was a general director, I would recognize it, but because it is Spielberg, then this film is a bit unsatisfactory. It can be seen that Lao Si tried to express it in a realistic way, but in general, the commercial atmosphere is too strong, and the plot lacks more details. Compared with "Schindler's List", it lacks a certain sense of historical...

    Awesome! ! ! I was recommended this movie while watching "I have a dream too". How many people's hard work and efforts are behind every little bit of progress of the...

    This film, which reflects the struggle of black slaves for freedom, is based on real historical events, and all three of Si's humanistic care films are based on real historical records. Spielberg used the documentary technique of "Schindler's List" to artistically reproduce a world-famous black slave uprising, but the focus is on a court battle that emancipated blacks and abolished slavery. Although the film is relatively the main theme, it is indeed very powerful and quite...

    As soon as Mr. Si took over, it became simple no matter how complicated it was. It turns out that McConaughey's role as a fringe lawyer is also one of the stereotypes, at least three...

    Examples of Theme Movies

    Introduced by Linda's "I also have a dream", I searched for this film. This case is too suitable for making a movie, and it must be an American themed film: natural human rights, freedom and equality, separation of powers, the concept of the rule of law, racial equality, and independence of state...

    Adult fairy tale

    Spielberg is really an old angry young man, and he is a witty and humorous old man! I don’t know where I read: (in the West) to be a leftist and die until 30; after 30 years old? Life will come from you You have no time for him to look after. However, after watching a small group of film and...

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.
