I really like the movie Amistad. How in the beginning they have the dialog in the original language was a good reminder to me that not all the world speaks english. It is easy to forget how different people are from clothes, language to mannerisms. Having everything historically accurate brought these realizations home to me. The graffic scene on the slave boat brought home to me how terrible slavery was. It is different to see scenes in the movie in comparison with words on a page. I had read a lot about how cramped the slave boats were but, to see it is very different.
