Movie Reviews of Amistad
Movie Review: POWERFUL
Summary: 5 Stars
All criticism aside, one of the most powerful statements against slavery and man's inhumanity towards his fellow man. It seems that when it comes to slavery and America's shameful past, we try to ignore that it ever happened. Too few films have portrayed the slave trade or the continued illegal slave trade, such as that of Spain's, that was still taking place then. No one wants to be reminded of that dark past, but we tend to stand tall concerning other issues, "lest we forget". And yes, Cinque was a man without a language in this foreign land, like any of us would have been. Hats off to Mr. Spielberg, for one of his most powerful works to date.Movie Review: Absolutely Beutiful, historically accurate movie
Summary: 5 Stars
To those that say that this is historically inaccurate: watch the dvd extras. They did to the greatest ability make this movie accurate. And if you go to John Quincy Adam's house preserved today you will find some things like Cinque's chains and other things so he DID MEET HIM. So you historical "experts" are mistaken.Anyway this movie is absolutely excellent. My second favorite movie to crouching tiger, hidden dragon. Speilberg did an excellent job and Anthony Hopkins was Steller as his role as john quincy adams. As I said, many of these negative reviews are mistaken and I disagree Wholeheartedly.

Movie Review: Two Thumbs Way Up
Summary: 5 Stars
I do not know why I waited so long to watch this movie, but I am glad that I finally did. The acting was superb, the storyline engrossing, and the ending touching and exhilirating. Highly recommended for those who enjoy historical dramas and for those who enjoy movies about important Supreme Court cases.
While the scenes on the slave ship were horrifying to say the least, this is an important story that needs to be remembered for centuries to come. And, for the Amistad Africans, the ending was somewhat happy, as they were returned to Africa and escaped the grasp of slavery.
Movie Review: Leon Washintons Review
Summary: 5 Stars
We as black Americans have been denied our history too long. Steven Spielburg makes a movie about how white people mistreated our black ancestors and the movie critics down his movie. This is blatant racism. If you can praise him for Schindlers list then why can not you like this movie? This film was an eye opener to all of the black men and women who have been enslaved by the white mans misrule. Why praise him for a movie about an ET or the holocaust and then ignore him when he tells the story about slavery. I say again it is racism. You all should be ashamed!
