I read in an article that there was a historian on set, overseeing the filming of ''Amistad''; showing that it was Spielberg's intention to have the majority of the facts historically accurate. This is a great film and regardless of the historical inaccuracies in ''Amistad'', in my opinion, Spielberg and the other film makers were courageous in creating a film that broke the mold. Slavery as told by the perspective of the victims is rarely if ever portrayed on the big screen. It does a good job of showing the American public that the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln were amongst a number of key events on the road to the emancipation of slaves. -- Mallory C. | I read in an article that there was a historian on set, overseeing the filming of ''Amistad''; showing that it was Spielberg's intention to have the majority of the facts historically accurate.

| + | Touching on Jackie's point, to be honest I never learned about the Amistad case until class on Tuesday. I don't recall my history books ever mentioning it which is a pity because it is a truly remarkable event in history and it should be taught to history classes. Also, I absolutely loved Yamba. I thought his character was amazing. Whether he was based off of a real figure or not, I don't really care. He was simply wonderful. --Kelly Wuyscik | ||
