It's clear that Spielberg and the other filmmakers did substantial research before making this film. From the depiction of the men counting to ten in Mende in the New York harbor to the problems caused by the language barrier, they did a good job of presenting this as an "authentic" historical film. The flashback scenes on the Tocura are particularly harrowing and really drive the point home. I think we can all agree that slavery is one of, if not THE, darkest chapters in our nation's history. The horrors depicted in Spielberg's film should provide an interesting contrast to the slavery depicted in next week's film, Gone With the Wind. - Sarah Richardson | It's clear that Spielberg and the other filmmakers did substantial research before making this film.

| + | Agreeing with everyone else, I think the film director did a good job with the language barriers. They made it seem very real and how long it took them to understand the Mendes by finding a translator in the harbor who spoke Mendes. This all seemed very accurate to our notes from Tuesday’s class. –Ashley Scutari | ||
