Amistad 1997/Col/English-Spanish-Mendes/ Dir- Steven Speilberg
*Starring - Morgan Freeman, Anthony Hopkins, Djimon Hounsou, Mathew McConaughey
Amistad is a film based on the true story of a slave mutiny that took place aboard a ship of the same name in 1839 and shows a legal battle that followed. It shows how, even though the case was won at the federal district court level, it was appealed by President Martin Van Buren to the Supreme Court. The film was nominated for many Oscars though Speilberg had to wait for a few more years before he won it.
Highly acclaimed for uncovering the legal status of slaves and american prejudices it shows how good men work realistically within an evil system to spare a few of its victims.
