Inspiring
Amazing Grace is the story of William Wilberforce, the dedicated abolitionist and parliamentarian who helped end the British slave trade. I expected the film to be a bit cheesy because it wasn't produced by a big film studio, but I was quite wrong. The settings were impressive and large, taking London back to the 18th century. I have to admit that my heroes aren't the war generals, the conquerors, or the soldiers. My heroes have a strength much greater than a man. My heroes are people who stand against injustice through the power of Christ alone. Amazing Grace has two of these heroes, Wilberforce and John Newton. Throughout this film I was moved deeply by the courage displayed by key characters, and the acting was so good it brought me to tears. The story wasn't nearly as complex as you would normally expect from movies these days, but that's what happens when you tell a true story. I recommend everyone to watch this film.
