Amazing Grace

I went into this movie not expecting much, I was pleasantly suprised.
I never knew much about abolition of the slaqve trade in Europe, and really, I still dont.
Nor do I know much about parliment.

Regardless, I loved these men, I wanted to know how their story ended.
Ioan Grufford, what a nice change from the Fantastic Four. Having never seen Horation Hornblower, I was not aware of his talents.

Benedict Cumberbatch, I have never seen him, I want to see more. I want to know more about his character.... I could go on.

Youssou N'Dour, didnt say much, but impressed me none the less.

Michael Gambon, Toby Jones, Ciaran Hinds, Rufus Sewell, and Albert Finney all turned in performances worthy of their stations.

Being a fan of historical fiction, I wanted to know more, and I wish I had seen more of these men, and known where they truly stood.

The costumes were beautiful. Elegent, and understated as they should have been for the time. The scenes were dressed beautifully.

And the very end... a good bagpiper is worth their weight in gold.
