    In U.S. courts, whoever has the most appealing story often wins. Negro slaves are property, not people. Black history of slave trade, how did these black people disappear?...

    I first read the complete introduction to this event and such a complex historical background in Linda's book. Then, when I watched the movie, I had a different feeling for many plots. Including the limitations of history, we can still have the most fair decision. The people of a country are like this, the courts of a country are like this, the leaders of a country are like this... It is difficult for this country to be strong or...

    Tell the historical events of the liberation of black slaves in the United States in the early twentieth century. The advantage is that it basically reflects historical facts and knows how to feel sensational at the right time. But because I just watched Roman Polanski's pianist, this one seems too emotional in comparison. That's the difference between different types of films and their...

    Uncle Si shot, it must be a fine product. I heard about it 20 years ago. The reason I didn't watch it was because I was deceived by the translated name of Broken Lock and Furious Tide. I thought it was a naval battle drama. It turned out to be my favorite court drama, which originated from a true story and was on the eve of the American Civil War. Under the magnificent historical background, the case is complicated, and many top-level forces are involved. It is a super case in any era. All the...

    Although I already knew the cruelty of the slave trade, I was still overwhelmed by the footage of chains dragging 50 people to the bottom of the sea. Various other shots represented by this lens, such as the resistance that is too dark at the beginning; the transformation of time and shadow in the first courtroom, the lighting of faces; the focus of the former president and the blurred focus of Washington's portrait are full of classical oil painting. Aesthetics, movie story 3 stars, aesthetic...

    Spielberg's masterpiece has been ignored for a long time. Steady into the top ten legal movies. Showing the tragic sufferings of black slaves is too realistic and more shocking than "Schindler's List". If Linda's "I Have a Dream," etc. is an introductory book to understand the United States, then this film is a propaganda film about judicial independence and the spirit of Christianity. A summary statement at the end of President Adams, played by Anthony Hopkins, explained the American spirit...

    Why America Became America

    The film "Amda" shot by Spielberg has been translated into "Broken Rage" or "Fearless" in China. I found that many people who watched this film were written by the Lindas as much as I did. Influenced by the book "I Have a Dream", which is the third volume of their four-volume "A Closer Look at...

    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...

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.
