or, why we are in need of a Sarcasm Emoticon for games. I paid attention to this film. It was great in the sense of showing an essential bout of American history, a rebellion by Africans against their American captors, and the following trials they're going through (3 trials, it visits the Supreme Court). It also reveals the complex politics of slavery - the way the Spain, South, and some other groups wanted to proceed slavery, while "the North" and American Christians groups wanted to eliminate it. But what it generally does not show - the common participation of Jews in the slave trade. The Lie that it shows - it makes Spielberg appear thoughtful, creating a film about anything that happened 180 years back, when Israel is training related cruelty today - a subject about which Spielberg is actually silent. ( My guess is, the Jews were also included in the abolitionist aspect, given their tendency to try and manage both parties in American politics. ) While her team tries to manage her routine a pot shot is also taken by the movie at Queen Isabelle of Spain, displaying her as a spoiled brat-child, actually leaping up & down on her bed. That's the Queen Isabelle of the first 1800's. The Jews are expelled by her great great * grandmother, also named Isabelle, from Spain in about 1500. I'd to question if Spielberg is going for a inexpensive shot at the Queen Isabelle that eliminated the Jews, by displaying a Queen Isabelle working such as for instance a spoiled brat 300 years later. "Amistad is the title of a ship touring from Cuba to the U.S. in 1839. It's carrying a cargo of Africans who've been taken up to speed, distributed in to slavery in Cuba, and chained in the cargo hold of the vessel. As the ship is crossing from Cuba to the U.S., Cinque, who had been a tribal chief in Africa, leads a mutiny and gets control the ship. They continue steadily to cruise, hoping when they land to find support. As an alternative, when they reach america, they're caught as runaway slaves. They don't speak a of English, and they're condemned to die for killing their captors when an abolitionist attorney chooses to get their situation, arguing that they were free people of a different country and not slaves at all it seems. The situation eventually reaches the Supreme Court, where John Quincy Adams makes an eloquent and plea due to their release." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118607/ Anthony Hopkins performs outdated President John Quincy Adams, who showed the slaves once the case came prior to the Supreme Court. The film does a great work of demonstrating the cruelty of the slave dealers. When they don't have enough food, they've an effective way of putting 50 slaves overboard. Obviously, they also make it obvious to the imprisoned Africans that it's suitable to fight for his or her lives, which they end up receiving an opportunity to do. They stop their captors' butt, but aren't in a position to purchase back once again to Africa, and result in American prisons, where they turn into a political football.
