Amazing Grace...

“Once was blind but now I see”…

The director of Amazing Grace was Michael Apted. It was written by Steven Knight.The creative techniques I always get from movies like this is the wardrobe and the type of dialogue they use. Another thing I really found interesting was how it was based behind a common song. A song everyone knows got turned into a fight for justice. I got from this movie determination and never to give up on a goal you want to achieve. I think the movie is pretty straight forward in what its showing and I think everyone else who watches this will get the same idea I did. William has a strong belief in what he believes is right and he will stop at nothing to fight for this to change. He is centered in god and knows that with his help he can get through anything. When it comes to knowing his morals, William has got that down. This message sent to show people just how strict the slave trade was back then. It was something so normal and right for the upper class. It really sends out a cry for help, it made me think about what if our country still was like this? Who would stand up and change this situation. It takes someone strong to do something like changing a law and convincing others that what you are stating is the right way. This story reminded me of Jonah. God told him to go out and spread the word and to basically change peoples minds. The other thing this story reminded me of was Jesus. The only man I know would go out to the world and keep trying and trying to preach the word to everyone about god is him. He never gave up and did everything he could to show everyone around him he was different and a man of god. William did that very thing in this movie. He showed everyone he was a man of god. In the end William was recognized and honored for the great man he was. It wasn’t really a movie I would choose to see and I expected something different but, I guess if you dig really deep into the movie it has a good message behind it.
