Movie description
Based on actual events in 1838, AMISTAD is the story of captured African slaves who took over their transport ship in a bloody revolt with the hopes of returning back to their homeland. After the slaves are caught and imprisoned, their leader, Cinque (Djimon Hounsou), unable to understand the language or court system of America, tries to communicate his desire to return home to his defense lawyer, Roger Baldwin (Matthew McConaughey), and former slave Theodore Joadson (Morgan Freeman). The men plead for help with their groundbreaking court case from former president John Quincy Adams (Anthony Hopkins). Steven Spielberg directed this moving film, using as a reference the book by William A. Owens, BLACK MUTINY: THE REVOLT ON THE SCHOONER AMISTAD. The Africans in the movie speak Mende, with subtitles added. West African actor Djimon Hounsou had to learn to speak the language for his role--and was nominated for a Golden Globe. Spielberg shot the film at the State House in Providence, Rhode Island, the seaport in Mystic, Connecticut, and other New England locations.

Did You Know?
If a seller receives a few Detailed Seller Ratings of less than 5,s,

Then they will be significantly penalized.

You may think that you are leaving a reasonable rating by giving a seller DSR's of 4's ,
but eBay's feedback system treats anything less than a 5 's as sub-standard and penalizes sellers for DSR ratings that average under 4.60.

FEEDBACK:

PLEASE READ

I do not leave feedback first under any circumstances. I take feedback very serious and too many times I have left feedback for others, but never received it. As a seller I can only leave a positive feedback, so I am not holding your feedback hostage, nor do I intend to use it in retaliation. I just expect that it should be exchanged equally. My feedback is set to automatically leave you feedback once you have received your item and you have left me feedback.
