Amazing Grace
This film was very inspirational, meaningful, and makes you question what one supports. Amazing Grace, directed by Michael Apted, who also directed “The World is Not Enough,” and written by Steven Knight, who was an Academy Award nominee, had many different ways of getting attention. One, for me at least was the wigs! LOL! I want one!... Sorry, as I was saying! They used history, fact, threw in some romance, and the title itself made me want to see it. I didn’t know why the song was named amazing grace, I was blind but now I see. =) I liked this film because it took place back in the 18th century, there is something from that time era that inspires me, and it lifts me up. I feel, when I see the fashion and manner of speaking, that anything can become a reality. Just like in the movie, William Wilberforce fought for something that seemed impossible to win, the abolition movement. Although many didn’t support him, he still fought for what was right, and at the end he came out winning. He is a true hero and inspiration to never stop fighting for what we believe! Before closing I want to share my favorite quote of the movie:
“I am a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior”
- John Newton
Don’t ever forget this…
