ReviewsUSA Today - "...Sheer power, moral and otherwise. It possesses a massively majestic hero..." -- 3 out of 4 stars, New York Times - ...It has excellent cinematography....Djimon Hounsou gives the film a strong visual focus as he radiates extraordinary presence and fury..., Box Office - ...A monumentally impressive achievement and further proof of Spielberg's ongoing maturation as an artist...
Additional InformationBased on actual events in 1838, AMISTAD is the story of captured African slaves who took over their transport ship in a bloody revolt with the hopes of returning back to their homeland. After the slaves are caught and imprisoned, their leader, Cinque (Djimon Hounsou), unable to understand the language or court system of America, tries to communicate his desire to return home to his defense lawyer, Roger Baldwin (Matthew McConaughey), and former slave Theodore Joadson (Morgan Freeman). The men plead for help with their groundbreaking court case from former president John Quincy Adams (Anthony Hopkins). Steven Spielberg directed this moving film, using as a reference the book by William A. Owens, BLACK MUTINY: THE REVOLT ON THE SCHOONER AMISTAD. The Africans in the movie speak Mende, with subtitles added. West African actor Djimon Hounsou had to learn to speak the language for his role--and was nominated for a Golden Globe. Spielberg shot the film at the State House in Providence, Rhode Island, the seaport in Mystic, Connecticut, and other New England locations.

  • True very sad historical film.

    Had to change the colour settings on the TV to watch as it played very dark, almost black and white. The film otherwise was as I remembered it from years back. A great watch with some epic stars.
