Amistad: The History We Were Never Taught

Date of Review:  Sep 4, 2001
The Bottom Line: An important movie about a dark time in America's history. It should be a part of High School American History courses to generate discussion.
Review: I have to admit that my greatest emotion after having seen this movie was anger... Anger that I never learned of this incident throughout my school years. Despite being and Advanced Placement student, not one of my courses ever touched on the La...

A Story You Never Heard In School, And Frankly, Rightfully So. 'Amistad'

Date of Review:  May 7, 2003
The Bottom Line: Not everything that irritated slave owners is ipso facto historically significant.
Review: There are few more shining examples of the Spielbergification of a story than Amistad . Couple that with a story that starts out, PC derring-do aside, ultimately not that interesting, and a short six years after its release it is already quickly...

Amistad:Speilberg gets it right!

Date of Review:  Dec 26, 2000
Review: "Give us free, give us free, give us free, give us free" (give us freedom, give us freedom, give us freedom, give us freedom). So Cinque shouted in a crowded courthouse in New haven CT, and so it was to be; but not without a struggle, and a court...

Tip of Slavery Iceberg rises from ocean of misinformation

Date of Review:  May 12, 2002
The Bottom Line: Spielberg at his vapidest, long and dull, stuffy rhetoric; poor sense of real AFricans, good 1830's ship scenes. Violence, blood and whipping too well done.
Review: Steven Spielberg, with his reputation for a bleeding heart in choosing film subjects, could have done great things for exposing the realities of the slave trade and its consequences for the New World, especially in the U.S.A. Instead, this film is...

Amistad--Watch it and learn

Date of Review:  Mar 31, 2000
Review: This film is being rated by me not only as a person but as a teacher who day after day deals with kids who have been desensitized to violence and cruelty.

This movie is Stephen Spielberg's first movie under the movie label, DreamWorks. And...

Amistad; Breaks the chains!

Date of Review:  Dec 24, 1999
Review: Amistad. A movie that opens the eyes of the ignorant. I am from an all white small town area and never really got that much exposure to members of other races. My parents did their best to raise me loving everyone, no matter what the color of their...

Mutiny aboard the Amistad

Date of Review:  Feb 22, 2000
Review: As Speilberg's first movie under his personally owned directing company, Amistad is typical Spielberg. When I say 'typical Speilberg,' I mean greatness. He has produced the majority of the top ten movies of all time.

When Speilberg picked...

"Amistad" -- What an Interesting Film Mr. Spielberg...

Date of Review:  Mar 4, 2001
The Bottom Line: Great films deserve to be seen.
Review: Steven Spielberg's "Amistad" made up for the disappointment I felt after watching "The Lost World," and so many other films in 1997. "Amistad" proved two things to me, one, that Spielberg is still one of our greatest directors, and two, that good...

A VERY entertaining movie--read a history book first though!

Date of Review:  Jul 27, 2005
The Bottom Line: Give this movie a watch if you haven't already...it will be regarded as a classic of our time!
Review: Written by David Franzoni and directed by the world renowned Steven Spielberg, Amistad was released to eagerly awaiting audiences in 1997. Starring such legendary film icons such as Anthony Hopkins and Morgan Freeman, Amistad sets out to tell the...
