Amistad 10/10
This movie has jumped into my top 10 movie list, probably even top 5. The story, for those of you who haven't heard of it, is about a group of Africans who are taken from their homes and thrown into the slave trade. Abolitionists make a case out of the group and try going up against the odds in the courts of the United States. I won't spoil much more than that.
This movie was very deep and touching, I think its very important for us Americans to understand our history, even when we don't wish to look back at it. This movie shows us a beautiful example of this history.
For movies to get a 10/10 from me they need to make me cry =P Nuff said, there were a few scenes that made me cry like a baby! This movie is amazing, I would highly recommend it to anyone. It has to be rated R though, so...yeah.
