Amazing Grace is a film directed by Michael Apted and written by Steven Knight. This movie could best be described as a historical drama that employs the use of skillful articulation and reason. Individual with prejudices would probably condone this film and not think much of it. The proponents of equality, however, would champion it as a masterpiece in all things supporting their cause. It is evident that this movie incites the emotions and passion that is the topic of equality, equal rights etc. The values portrayed in this film are ones of compassion for those individuals less fortunate. The lifestyles seen in the film are ones of excess and indifference; it takes one individual to arise the consciousness of the larger populace. This message is being sent to remind individuals of the struggles that were made for equality so many years ago. It is evident that the message of the protagonist still looms large in the current society. By taking heed and understanding the merits presented in Amazing Grace, Society can learn and be better towards one another. God is portrayed in this movie as the source of devotion and direction. He was the moral compass that guided the individuals involved in the debate for the abolition of slavery and the slave trade.
