AMISTAD

AMISTAD.jpg (16674 bytes)

Amistad, the story of a shipboard revolt against slavery, was nominated for four Academy Awards — Best Actor in a Supporting Role: Anthony Hopkins; Best Cinematography: Janusz Kaminski; Best Costume Design: Ruth E. Carter, and Best Music, Original Dramatic Score: John Williams.

The drama is based on an 1839 incident which eventually pitted former President John Quincy Adams (Anthony Hopkins) against then President Martin Van Buren (Nigel Hawthorne) and threatened to bring the young nation to civil war. The human cargo — nearly 50 men, women and children — aboard a Spanish ship outbound from Cuba revolts and kills all of the crew except two. Although the two surviving crewmen promise on their lives to take the people to their homeland, the ship sails along the American coast until an American naval ship discovers it and takes the revolters, lead by Cinque (Djimon Hounsou), as prisoners for mutiny and murder.

Three-time Oscar nominee Morgan Freeman stars as a former slave and ardent abolitionist who — along with another abolitionist (Stellan Skarsgård) — comes to the aid of the prisoners by hiring an attorney (Matthew McConaughey). The 11-year-old Queen of Spain is among those claiming custody of the "cargo." As the various factions battle, the plight of the prisoners is revealed — including the deadly "Middle Passage" of slaves.

The 1997 release was directed by Steven Spielberg. The screenplay was written by Oscar winner David Franzoni.
