My favorite part...
My favorite part of the film is at the end when the freed slave Amistad Jackson, brilliantly portrayed by Keenan Ivory Wayans, goes to Spain to get flintlock revenge on the eleven year old Queen Elizabeth II.
shareThe best part was when John Quincy Adams challenged the Supreme Court (with 7 of the 9 Justices from slave states) to listen to our ancestors, the Founding Fathers, especially the parts about all men being created equal, and about oppressed people having the right to rebel and fight for their freedom.
And then he stood in front of the bust of John Adams, his father, making Cinque's appeal to one's ancestors literal.
