Amistad (1997)
[ Genre : Historical Drama ]My Rating : 7-ish/10
"Give us us free" shouts the black man, the tale of human right to freedom .. in times where slavery was a part of life, an 'inseparable' one .. but that changed soon!
The very loud Djimon Hounsou is the slave who has been pushed around too far, and would go any lengths to return home. Denied the right to judgement over and over again, from one court to another ... lands them at the Supreme court .. where 7 of the 9 member jury are themselves slave owners!
The right in question is not of property, but the ever so assumed right to be free ..
Movie highpoint - none to me! Good enuf to want you to see the end really ..
