Amazing Grace was an absolutely brilliant film! I really enjoyed it because I learnt something, and when you're watching a film I think that that is important to learn something. It had a couple of mild swear words, but I personally think that that is very crusial in this film in particular.I think that it really shows peoples emosions, for instance, when they are angry it really shows that they are angry and when they are sad it really shows that they are sad! If I could choose a favourite part of that film it would be when he is describing that they hang the slaves by a crane and have a load of weights attatched to their feet, which I would imagine to be quite painful. This film is about politics and the slave trade which is now in the past. William Wilbaforce was a great person, he is a great person because he stopped the horrible slave trade. I hope everyone who watches this film will enjoy it as much as I did! Thankyou.
