Amazing Grace

This week's assignment was to watch the movie Amazing Grace. The class and I watched the movie trailer for Amazing Grace last wednesday, and it I thought it would be somewhat exciting to watch on the count that it is different for me to watch a movie of this type.Amazing Grace is directed by William Apted and came out the year of 2006.Amazing Grace is a movie about a man named William living in 19th century Britain. William in this film is held responsible for taking on the critical factors of the British slave trade. Because of this, William lost popularity within the House of commons, as well as the Members of Parliament. During the process, William gets very sick and catches "chronic colitis".At this time, William than decides to quit politics until Barbara inspired him to keep fighting for what he believes because if it is anyone to make a change in slavery it would be him. Soon after that William than marries Barbara, and continues to keep on fighting for success. Later in time William becomes responsible for the bill being passed through parliament in 1807. Once the bill passed, the slave trade was abolished in the British Empire for decades to come.This movie can definitely be recommended to anybody. It is a great movie that shows perseverance and hope for what you believe in.William took the role of somebody who can make a great change. William played the role and actions in which Jesus would have done for us. Through a lot of struggle and time, William never gave up on himself or the people who believed in him. He persevered and became successful by abloshing the slave trade. William and Jesus both committed very similar actions for a better living and brighter world.Without God, Jesus, or even William there would have been no one taking any role or action for the better.This movie showed me what leadership and integrity is truly about.I can say I simply enjoyed watching this film.
