When they could choose to ignore their conscience

Inexplicably watching "Strange Grace", there will be an urge to cry at the end.
It’s not about the fulfillment of willian willberforce’s final dream, or about the greatness of humanity, the unquestionable justice and so on. I have never been so lofty, but about the land of freedom and the land that I yearn for.
There are disputes, conspiracies, reactionaries, and fornication in the spirit of the bred people . Without the promotion of evil, it would not create such a beautiful hedonistic civilization. But there is spirit, freedom, and equality there too. Great enough to allow so many whites to spend their entire lives for the freedom of blacks, to live freely for another group of people who have nothing to do with them or even create wealth for Britain’s own country. At the same time, in another land I know, people are busy putting shackles on themselves and the next generation. People forget the meaning of freedom and are willing to live under heavy shackles. The media is regulated, the Internet is banned, and liberalism is taken. Wild horses running off the rein are condemned as well. People are always resisting, but they never see the hope of change.
But centuries ago in Britain, the old Conservative Party stood by the young man he had opposed for nearly two decades. Even though he was called a traitor, he also signed his name on the petition for the abolition of slavery, knowingly. The prince, who was despised by the opponent, applauded his victory in the end. The weak girls stood in front of his always strong father and grabbed the sugar cubes in his teapot. This is a kind of spirit, a kind of aura possessed by a noble nation, deeply buried in the bone marrow. Because of this admirable spiritual power, even if they are promiscuous, they take drugs, and they absent from school, it does not prevent them from becoming the mighty hegemon in the world for a while.
I like the words of Willianm Pitt, who became prime minister in the movie, "AS your prime minister, i urge your caution, and as your friend, to hell the caution"

    A movie about how Wiberforce abolished the British slave trade and abolished slavery. Love is boundless, but a politician who only believes in not playing cards is not a good politician. It feels that Pitt, who played as Wiber's best friend, the First Minister of Finance (Prime Minister), is overwhelmed by Loan Gruffudd.

    The film uses the male protagonist's serious illness as the dividing line, and flashbacks are used to let the viewer understand the male protagonist's difficult struggle, and then everything seems to be smooth, the base friends continue to support firmly, love also comes, and the war is also used by the male protagonist as a tool to abolish slavery. , the film is full of narrative, and the characters are detailed, and the only thing that makes people feel helpless is that it is just a frame. It can be embedded in other events, but there is nothing in-depth about the key point of slavery.
