It's heavy, but also beautiful. Although it is recognized that the climax of the whole film lies in the defender of the black slaves, John Quincy Adams, that is, the former U.S. President’s CLOSING for freedom in the Federal Supreme Court, but I always love the state judges praying in the church and the black people starting to learn. The part of the Bible story.
The pictures are constantly switching between churches, prisons, Bible stories, and crosses. As a result, two completely different cultures have begun to communicate and blend: Almighty Lord, please give me guidance. Of course I know the president’s intentions in every possible way to arrange me to deal with this case. Of course I also know that we are under pressure from Spain diplomatically. I am so young and have a promising future. I am sensitive and timid by nature, and I am not willing to offend people. Of course, I am even more reluctant to offend the president, but after listening to such a story, how can I pretend that I never know the truth, and only make a judgment based on a so-called legal certificate? How can I pretend that these dozens of flesh-and-blood people have never mentioned their misfortunes and experiences before me. All the blood and tears have never existed, but only sent them back in accordance with the so-called Spanish-American Treaty? I really can't.
The victory of the blacks in the film did not solve the slave problem at the time, but such a lawsuit did greatly reduce the public's tolerance for slavery. The president seeking re-election, in order to avoid the division of the country and ease the diplomatic pressure, use administrative means to try to close the case quickly. There is no major intent in his intentions. Unfortunately, he does not understand. Before such a dilemma, It is wise to always err on the side of life.
