NOV

2007

I have been amazed by "Amazing Grace" since I saw it in the movie theater. Now that it is available to own, I am thrilled to have it on my shelves. The most powerful aspects of this movie are the fantastic, witty dialogue, and the intense yet tender character development. The screen shots are incredible, as well as the costumes and the overall "feel" of the time period - early 19th century. The movie transcends the standard historical movie by speaking of things that still resonate with the viewer, such as justice and honor and cruelty. I highly recommended this movie. Whenever I watch it, it inspires me to act, to do more for not only those around me, but the world. It is a movie of passion and hope.
