Amistad (1997): Complete Movie Guide & Key Facts
Social Studies, History, History: African, History: USA, Grade 11, 12, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
Amistad is a historical drama film directed by Steven Spielberg and released in 1997. Here are some facts about the movie: "Amistad" is based on the true story of the 1839 mutiny aboard the slave ship La Amistad and the subsequent legal battles that took place in the United States. The film follows the journey of the African captives who revolt against their captors, are captured by the American Navy, and eventually stand trial for their freedom. Historical Background: The real-life events portrayed in the film took place in 1839. The La Amistad, a Spanish ship, was transporting a group of Africans who had been kidnapped and sold into slavery. The slaves rebelled, taking control of the ship, but were later captured by the U.S. Navy off the coast of Long Island, New York. Cast: The film features a star-studded cast, including Djimon Hounsou as Sengbe Pieh (known as Joseph Cinqué), Morgan Freeman as Theodore Joadson, Matthew McConaughey as Roger Baldwin, Anthony Hopkins as John Quincy Adams, and Nigel Hawthorne as President Martin Van Buren. Legal Battle: Following the capture of the Amistad slaves, a legal battle ensued over their status. The case eventually reached the U.S. Supreme Court, where former President John Quincy Adams argued on behalf of the Africans. The court's ruling declared that the Africans were illegally enslaved and should be returned to Africa. Critical Reception: "Amistad" received generally positive reviews from critics. The performances of the cast, particularly Djimon Hounsou, were widely praised. However, some critics felt that the film was overly long and focused too much on the legal proceedings rather than the personal stories of the characters. Historical Accuracy: While "Amistad" is based on true events, some liberties were taken for dramatic purposes. The film has been criticized for certain historical inaccuracies, including the portrayal of John Quincy Adams as the driving force behind the legal battle when, in reality, he played a more limited role. Cultural Impact: "Amistad" brought attention to the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade and highlighted the resilience and bravery of the Africans who fought for their freedom. The film contributed to raising awareness about this dark chapter in history. Amistad remains an important film that explores themes of justice, human rights, and the enduring spirit of those who fought against the injustices of slavery. This 20-question movie guide will help your students stay focused during this amazing and powerful movie. This product comes with a completed teacher key. Ready to print and use - no prep needed.
