- Amistad Case, court case of 1841 in which the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that Africans aboard L'Amistad, a ship from the Spanish colony of Cuba that was found off the coast of Long Island, New York, should be returned to their homeland and not returned to Cuba as slaves. While not particularly significant for its legal principles, the case brought great attention to the antislavery movement in the United States. It is one of the few Supreme Court decisions that abolitionists (opponents of slavery) won before the American Civil War (1861-1865).
Who else gets chills watching this scene? It's so powerful yet awe-inspiring at the same time.
what a beautiful and simple depiction of our Lord. And to hear the gospel spoken in another language is also pretty awesome. The Lord's grace is now upon us who believe, hallelujah!
If the Lords grace was upon them. Then they wouldn't have been there to begin with.
They arent there anymore. @@galenmerrick
Oh yes they are because slavery is greater and more powerful in the world than ever. Suffering, pain and anger every day everywhere.... If the Lords grace was upon them they would not suffered, but they did and still do. The "lord" never was and so we are alone, it is up to us to deal with eachother.@@xMorbidArtx
Who's grace? Mithra? Osiris? Ra? Zeus? Odin? Vishnu? Which deity fable are we going with?
@@rubba6818 we make the world what it is. The indignant pride of mankind is a hallmark of our nature. Sin is like a genetic disease, ever propelling us into perdition.
Jesus Christ is the living Son of God. The scriptures prophesied of His great sacrifice and suffering which He willingly endured for our sake on the cross. He defeated death and sin on the cross to release us from the inevitable judgement that hangs over our heads from the time we are born. That is God’s grace upon us. He is the light of the world, He offers us a peace that surpasses our understanding and the promise of eternal life which is our salvation.
Jesus says: “seek and ye shall find, knock and the door shall be opened to you.” You are privileged to have life and to have the full revelation of God in Jesus Christ before you. Accept Him and watch your life change.
The beauty and emotion of this scene is so powerful, so moving!
This scene is one the most powerful of the film. It gives me chills every time.
That alone is worth an Oscar nomination for Djimon methinks
A very powerful scene from the movie and really makes you think.
"He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so He opened not his mouth. By oppression and judgment He was taken away; and as for His generation, who considered that He was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people? And they made His grave with the wicked and with a rich man in His death, although He had done no violence, and there was no deceit in His mouth." - Isaiah 53:7-9
"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin." - Hebrews 4:15
"God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God." - II Corinthians 5:21
"And love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." - I John 4:10
Cinque's friend saw this.
That's beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Love in Christ, thank you
Those illustrations are by Gustave Doré, probably the most well-known illustrator of the 19th century. Doesn't exactly match the time period of the movie (the Amistad case was 1839-41, Doré was born in 1832), but very cool scene nonetheless. Before literacy became widespread, this is how most people would learn about religion, europeans included.
Thank you so much for the information
I do adore this scene, even as an atheist. John Williams' score is perfect, knowing to accent but not overwhelm the beautiful dialogue.
What is this score called
@@daustin8888 A remix of Cinque's Theme.
I feel the exact same way. I remember showing it to my mother who's a devout Catholic and her thinking I was converting cause it brings me to tears.
It’s a deeply moving scene.
Praying for lost souls
This part always makes my eyes tear up. Great movie, and one that should be shown in every high school American history class.
no the should not . Not everyone wants to see this . I know i dont want my kids watching it.
@@Lillyxxxowhy not?
This is by far my favorite scene in this film. It really shows How God can reach us beyond our simple differences. The gospel story in its sheer images brought faith to this man and he understood it and its joy is visible in his countenance.
What about the thousands of years before monotheism? Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, The Rivers of India, Ancient China, Ancient Greece, etc. Polytheism has existed for far longer a time, and throughout these thousands of years there have been violence. Did these people also see a single deity at some point? If so, why did it take so long for a monotheistic religion to appear. The first one that actually did appear that we know of was in Ancient Egypt some thousand years before our modern monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It was a worship of the sun as a single and only deity. It lasted only for the lifetime of the Pharaoh who introduced it, then it was back to polytheism again. You could pretty much say in the same way that the goddess Athena reached out to the poor traveler, a former slave who escaped Persia, as he witnessed her statue at the great temple, now a free man and converted. Don't take me wrong, it is a great scene, but we most remember that relativity matters. God, if he exists probably didn't reach out. It was the individual who found peace himself.
My thought wasn't that God must manifest himself to all but that when he does he can do so in the direst of circumstances. Abraham was called out of a polytheistic society in the Akkadians but out of the polytheism of the Akkadians that God who was true was there as EL The answer to the issue of the multiplicity of religions is firstly that man worship that which he desires to worship namely the self. So in all idolatry man begins with gods fashioned after his ego his selfish motivations and desires in deities that appeal to his carvings. The God which man naturally rejects of course is the one he cannot mend or carve or explain but ironically is described as ego eimi. You actually hit on the answer in your final words of "if he exists probably didn't reach out." And your correct when God doesnt reach out man does only what is natural for him to do and that is to make gods in his image to not seek after truth or the true God to seek after his own desires for self and selfishness in the shape of false gods what ever they are even in the idol of pursuits not just shaping gods but the self as a god. Paul a man zealous in his religion and willing to commit genocide in favor of it a Jew of Jews and pharisee of Pharisees humbled on his journey to murder any opposing his religion. And then he encounters the transcendent God and is transformed by this moment which inevitably leads to his own martyrdom. Romans 9: 10 Not only that, but Rebekah’s children were conceived at the same time by our father Isaac. 11 Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad-in order that God’s purpose in election might stand:" 15 For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy... 22 What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath-prepared for destruction? 23 What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory.
Let's see. My question was that, if there has been thousands of years without a monotheistic religion, and God supposedly do reaches out to people, why then is all the world polytheistic. There is a contradiction, that is, if God reveals himself, monotheism should follow. At least that was my intentional meaning. You told me I answered this myself, that God pretty much didn't reach out. Fair enough, as you yourself never mentioned those time scales. I don't know why God wouldn't reveal himself for thousands of years, it is not very fair for all the individuals who lived throughout those time periods. It is not fair for them, for if they don't learn of God, they won't get into heaven. At least this is how I see it, it probably isn't how you see it. I have to ask, what does EL and ego eimi mean? I don't know.
Quoting bible verses doesn't really mean much in the terms of evidence for me, however it do tell me about your beliefs, and broadens my understanding of them. Quoting verses like this has its similarities to fandom I must say. I could quote things from Stapledons Star Maker. I like how God, or in this case, the Star Maker is explained in it. Of course I see it as fiction. But it does have a better explanation of a singular God than what I've seen in any religion, as religions usually contradict them self. What I've got from these quotes is that a Jew named Paul did genocide in the name of his religion, later he discovered the truth God and it changed him, and he became a martyr for this. At the same time this happens a guy named Isaac fucks with a gal named Rebekah and she becomes pregnant with twins. However before these twins are born, God himself is having a talk with this dude named Moses; so that he may understand and do accordingly to Gods election, this election being the doomsday? God tells Moses "I have mercy on those I decide to have mercy on, same with compassion." Those twins God decide not to have mercy for, although they have done neither good or bad yet? Their deaths, or rather abortion during the doomsday( Plus all the other deaths that will follow), will show a mark of God's wrath so that man shall know his power, and knowing his power they will submit to his will of mercy. Basically God kills a ton of people as sacrifice, because that was the only way God know how to show his mercy. This is what I got out of it. It sounds contradictory. Something a psychopath would do. However this probably sounds like a cruel and unfair judgement by me. The answer is that God understands morality at a grade that surpasses human conception.
That I'm guessing would be the answer, and this also answers why he didn't intervene all those thousands of years. This seems of course like a very flawed belief to me. But getting into the realm of "God's Plan' hinders any further discussions of how and why, because it is supposedly beyond our understandings. Now I guessed a lot. I don't know you and what your beliefs truly are, so I will apologize if I got something wrong. In the end everyone is free to believe in whatever they want(as long as it does not lead to unnecessary violence, both mentally or physically to others), and I am mostly just interested in learning and understanding what others believe. My deciphering(or what I should call it) of the verses might have been rude too, but I don't care.
Pretty freakin good observation and analysis minus a thing or two but i really like how you pose questions and analyze others opinions or in this case apologetic. Romans 9 you got it mostly but i forgot that there is an overall context lacking in chapter 9 made known in chapter 3 about the state of humanity. Namely, we do know that of the two sons Rebekah did have one was ruthless. Why God who is the sole creator would allow these things is speculative with some clues in the text. Most Christians actually believe in foreknowledge without election however i think its more consistent and i believe your initial comments actually followed this consistency that God chooses to pass on some or that he is selective. The argument posed however is that he is selective because he knows that all of humanity would fail and fall into idolatry. So his choice to save some is a mercy albeit even to the some. The reason i think he does in my finite view of describing his actions following Romans 9 is this. His mercy to some is still a grace and mercy since all were hopelessly sliding towards justice for their everyday sinfulness and idolatry i.e. worship of self worship of others gods and apathy towards ways he has made himself knowable simply by the creation that surrounds them. So he is a great mercy to the condemned but he is also a justice to those who are condemned. Those extended mercy can never accuse him of being unjust and those who are the recipients of justice can never say he is not merciful. Both Justice and Mercy require recipients of either or both. What can be said is he is not omnibenevolent which he never describes himself of being. FYI you havnt been rude at all and it has been a pleasure!
I'm glad you're appreciating my approach at this. I haven't read the bible, and only heard bits of it from time to time. Trying to understand the text is a bit difficult I admit as it is written differently than modern writings, similar to understanding Shakespeare, although I believe Shakespeare is probably even harder. It did also feel out of context a bit. I do believe that it would be good that in the future of quoting, that you would explain some more of what is being said, or what your own interpretation is to this and that as it may vary from person to person.
This doomsday scenario in where God is selective of who shall live and die, is it the flood we are talking about or is it another scenario? In either case, it is probably much the same. What I gathered is that the creation, the World itself should be evident enough for God, thus he has no need to show himself in any manner. Yet it turns out that the World is not enough after all, for without any miracles or what not, man simply rejects God in worship of other deities. This type of belief is absurd to me, as the World alone is not enough evidence for monotheism. It is not about a rejection, for one can not reject the absence of an idea. As humans begun as savages in the wild they would take their surroundings as natural. Everyday objects, environments and events would simply be what is. It is the extraordinary things, rare events or sights that would trigger the mysticism of the World. Like storms and lightnings, floods and earthquakes, comets and volcanoes. At least at the beginning. Thus they rationalized, something powerful has to be behind the lightning, something or someone. It is not that odd then that polytheism comes first. As different myths grows from different events or things, and later on intermingles with each other. I like how Carl Sagan imagines those times in his Cosmos documentary.
"We are wandering hunting folk. Fire keeps us warm, its lights makes holes in the darkness, it keeps hungry animals away, in the darkness we can see each other and talk. We take care of the flame, the flame takes care of us. The stars are not near to us, when we climb a hill or a tree they are no closer. They flicker with a strange cold white far away light, many of them, all over the sky, but only at night. I wonder what they are. One night I thought the stars are flames. They give a little light at night as fires does. Maybe the stars are campfires which other wanderers light at night. The stars give a much smaller light than campfires so they must be very far away. I wonder if our campfires looks like stars to the people in the sky, but why don't those campfires and the wanderers who made them fall down at our feet. Why don't strange tribes drop from the sky. Those beings in the sky most have great powers."
In essence, I believe I understand the biblical point of view, or some of it. But that is not what I believe. The view that man rejects god for the worship of lesser idols, who according to the bible don't exist anyway? Except Satan I guess. And this is seen as sinful, or evil. Another thing I don't really understand. It is this idea of a blind worship. By blind I mean that it is a direct worship without question, this is acceptable for the reason that God after all made the World and everything in it. This illogical conclusion wouldn't work with parents and their children. If a parent is cruel to their child, then his responsibility should be questioned. Why this doesn't follow with God and his creation is ludicrous, but then we get into the realm of 'Gods Plan' which we possible couldn't comprehend. Yet, a child often doesn't understand or have the capabilities as of yet to question what the parent does. What if God is evil but we are simply ignoring it for being his creation and thinking that we just couldn't handle the logic of his doings.
What really is worship to begin with? admiration, respect, acknowledgement? and why is it so important to God that we worship him, not doing so even classified a sin. I do say in human standards that God is unjust. As sentient beings, and individuals, we do, or we really should, have the right to live. And live freely. So what if the whole world falls into idolatry and God himself is forgotten. Then what, tell me how that World would look like. Is it pretty much the same like ours, except that everyone ends up in hell, or is it a chaotic, anarchy of a World full of pillaging and rape? I wouldn't think so. This is of course the old morality question. That there couldn't be morals without God. I am a pacifist without believing in a deity of any kind.
I'm sorry if my questioning and my argumentality have the looks of atheism preaching(although I wouldn't call it so) or what not. I am not trying to convert you(or mostly I am not, there is always parts of me that has this tendency and I can not lie). I am simply curious about the inconsistencies and I want to understand things from a religion point of view. I do however think that most religious views are irrational or delusional to begin with, which means it is pointless to insert logic in the first place. Something keen to pseudoscience can pop up, so of curse there are very intelligent people who can believe mythological world views however flawed they might be. I like to get as close as an understanding as possible, or as far as I can cope.
It is very interesting that you tell me that you believe God is not omnibenevolent, that he after all is not all good? I am guessing that this only means that he is good to those who are good, but not necessary to those who are not. I can understand this justice if those who are not considered good are criminals and such. But when it comes to worship of other idols, or the lack of any worship, it is considered a sin. This is again problematic, because the mere criminalization of this in itself seems to violate logical human standards in ethics. In its simplest term, it is a thought crime.
I was disappointed to see that you didn't tell me what EL or eimi meant. Perhaps you forgot. However tedious these arguments can be(as it do takes up quite some time for me I most admit) I do believe they are insightful. I wish you a good day.
What always amazed me is Holyweird often portrays Christians and the New Testament message in the worst and most mocking light, but Stephen Speilberg, being a liberal Jew, was very honest and positive in this portrayal. Bravo
Ok...let me get this straight: Hollywood is "weird," but christians believe in a recycled story of the virgin birth, miracles, "god" manifesting as a person, walking on water, raising people from the dead, dying and rising again, STILL waiting for the second coming, that you can talk to this person still, eat a cracker and drink wine because it's supposed to do something, and keep re-writing the rules as they go to all of this (hence why there's 500 protestant denominations alone)...
But Hollywood is the "weird" ones. Ok. 👌🏻
Here's my objective view of this scene, as a Catholic. I think that it's a touching and wonderful scene in that he gets a sense of another religion, an understanding. These slaves had their own religions and understandings back home, and while they carry that with them, these two, in another world far from their own, take an understanding of the beliefs of this new world, see the connections ("They wrap him in a cloth, like we do."), and see that there can be more alike between the two cultures than separate. Through one connection, a whole new cloth of understanding and compassion can be woven.
Do you think that all of the world's religions believe in the same things, just worded differently according to their religious texts?
@@grizzfan08 I'd like to think so, with their own twists to them. Much of the religious texts, when you look at them, have very similar meanings, regardless of the religion. You can find the same kinds of messages in passages of the Bible, the Quran, the Tripitaka, and other religious texts.
@@grizzfan08 there is no religion like the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ because never before or after did any of other gods died for lower beings than themselves. Only in Christianity did God gave Himself to be tortured and crucified for salvation of souls of all men and resurrection of their earthly bodies 🙏
God bless!
Greetings from Croatia!
@@zvonimirvidovic1714 The way you word this implies there are other gods? That's like, rule two the the ten rules? "Thou shall not worship false idols"
@@gregoryborton6598 you are right, I made a mistake in writing. Point is that Christ is Son of God and together with Father and Holy Spirit is Holy Trinity 🙏
God doesn't always need a preacher to preach His good news. When He wants His truth to go out, nothing will get in the way. :')
Raz Adoti kicked ass in this scene...great character! The resilience of Yamba in front of their terrible situation is incredible, this is faith.
This is the power of the gospel... this man believed that jesus died and rose again from the dead, 5 or 6 images and the man was converted. This is what is being lost today with teh modern church. We try to explain the gospel in such complex metaphors and allegories etc etc when its true power is in its simplicity. i.e. of sacrifice... when someone lays down their life willingly so that you may live is truly the greatest most noble most profound act ever. This is why when you truly understand the message of the gospel, you will never abandon it.
Or: This was a superstitious, desperate man from a completely uneducated background seeking some sort of supernatural source of comfort...
So a bronze wooly hair messiah saves bronze wooly haired slaves who paired skinned straight haired slave owners used to ensalved them with. Hm
I agree, I agree, I totally agree. Our church must restore its very spirit that our LORD come to the earth to liberate our human beings from sinful nature such as arrogance. We human beings are created equally by our LORD.
thou shalt not make a graven image. I don't agree with protestant view of banning images and icons. i The use of icons is means people who can't read the bible can understand the message of the gospel.
@@MarcusCato275 there's just the danger that people tend to worship the idols instead of the actual God the idol is supposed to direct people to.
There's a reason why God told us to "not to make any graven image", because God knows that such is the tendency of mankind after they fell away from grace.
I think its kinda sad at the end when he says with peace that they will go to heaven when they die according to the book and that it doesnt seem so bad. Cinque looks at him and maybe feels that his friend have given up on life.
This is an amazing scene
As a Roman Catholic this scene was very touching and powerful
Ira Williams you’re a complete fool!!
@@edbtzkhud that's pure hypocrisy.
Indeed. It touches the heart, and reminds us of how deeply we should love others.
I'm an atheist but this scene really got me and reminded me, religion isn't that bad. Great movie.
Heh. I feel the same way!
Depends on what religion, the so called “religion of peace” isn’t one of the decent ones.
No. Political-religion is extremely bad. A true life in the Kingdom of God is not the same as "religion"; Truth is what God said, but religion is what Man said that God says.
@Fish Fingers I agree with you as well
@@RadX_98 actually there is plenty of people from the “religion of peace” who are just fine and normal people. Tatars for example
Spielberg at his finest
"Until Lions write their own history, the tale of the hunt will always glorify the Hunter."
This is a strong saying
A very powerful saying
God is for everyone!!! He touches all hearts in all cultures and in all places!!
this is a powerful story
Jesus = Yah-shua = God is my salvation.
Christ = Massiach = Anointed
As a non-christian, this scene is truly heart wrenching and yet oddly uplifting at the same time. We are all humans. Every one of us.
This scene is so powerful. It's truly amazing what Jesus can do.
I really like this scene, not because I see it as a slave being saved by the Gospel, but because it so brilliantly condemns Christians of the time. Though he doesn't know it, Jesus' story is supposed to be one of love towards your fellow man, turning the other cheek, rising above the vile horridness of evil and violence and mending the world with love and peace. Since he can't read, he was able to piece together only parts of the story - that Jesus was an amazing person who healed the sick, and who died and went to Heaven. But without reading, he only gets that part, and concludes with:
"This is where we're going when they kill us."
By all accounts that's an absolutely heartbreaking way to look at the story. He's only seeing the Bible as a way to give him a good death. "Hey, if I get killed here, I'll go to Heaven!" Without reading the Bible he sorta understood the story of Jesus but drew a bad conclusion from it, that getting killed in Christian lands is good and death is the best he can hope for.
However, by inserting this scene among a guy at church praying, the movie also sends the message that Christians of the time were fully capable of reading the story of Jesus and yet turned around and said "Yeah... slavery is pretty cool." So both the enslaved guy (I forgot his name) and the Christians of the time are on equal grounds - they both missed the point entirely. The enslaved man saw the Bible as a way to get a good death, the best he can hope for in his new situation, and the Christians actually read the Bible and thought "Yeah, Jesus would be fine with slavery."
It's akin to putting an English smoking pamphlet in the hands of two people, someone who only speaks Japanese and someone who speaks English. The Japanese person can't read the pamphlet, but concludes that smoking is probably bad because of the skull at the end. He doesn't smoke. The English speaking guy reads the pamphlet, front to cover, and says "Yeah... but whatever, I'll still smoke 2 packs a day."
+J o Africans already had the God concept before the concept of
Christianity. This is a bogus attempt by Hollywood to misinform the
people! Straight bullsht! So you think Africans werent spiritual until the white man invaded Africa! This is one of the worse lies told on Earth!
+brandonrussell79 I have no clue what part of my comment made you conclude that I suggested Africans didn't have their own religion prior to European contact.
J
I didn't say Africans had a religion, we by nature are spiritual. This is one of the worse crimes ever. The European brainwashed millions of Africans.
brandonrussell79 Even so, nothing in my comment suggested that Africa didn't have a spiritual or religious system before Europeans arrived there.
+J If you remember the movie and you know the story. You will know many Christians condemned Slavery. They believed what was happening to the blacks was absolutely wrong. He got the bible from a Christian who gave it to him.
I get chills every time
Best scene in the movie!
Amazing how the Lord can touch someone. The peace they receive is not understood by the world. Thank you Jesus
misael mestres Tell me again how True Christianity can be looked upon as anything else but good.
Like I said before... Christianity could be perceived as a terrorist religion by the actions of the CRUSADERS!!!! Duh!!!!!
edbtzkhud by that logic, Islam can be looked on as worse. Christianity changed to be less violent.
Christian Ali BAHA HAH HA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shows how much you know about history. Spare me with your ignorance. You do realize that history goes further back past the 20th century right?
That’s great acting, superb!
Priceless.
What better way to understand the Bible than through pictures? It's a child's approach and this is often the most effective.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16 from His Scriptures
Me ha impresionado la mirada de esperanza de Yamba hacia el final de la escena
This scene is breath taking. This is a beautiful perspective about the SON OF THE MOST HIGH GOD! EXTRAORDINARILY TELLING ABOUT CHRIST!! WELL DONE SPIELBERG!, WELL DONE.
The slave masters pray and honor a man who was beaten and oppressed while preaching some for form of love, while having others beaten and oppressed in the name of correct behavior and necessity. Does anyone else see how absurd that such people are even Christians at all?
EmptyMan000 well Christ said he came to call the sinners. The owners were as human as the slaves, the instution of slavery damaged the souls of both parties. Both needed Christ's healing before it could be ended. That is why Christianity was fundamental in the abolitionist movement across the world. Where in places like Saudi Arabia it was only outlawed in the 50s.
Can you remember me the surname of the man who made this movie? Ok. Now can you tell me the surnames of the owners and slave traders of the Spaniards, Portuguese, British and Dutch ships? Ok. No more questions.
It's not absurd at all if you understand just how evil we truly are.
How evil you truly are...
Jesus Christ of Nazareth... was NOT the son of God .... ! The man who road into town on his donkey presenting himself to be the messiah ... the Jewish prophecy ... who did not fulfill the Prophecy... Jesus Christ who called himself the Son Of God ... was actually ... LUCIFER.. himself
Christianity was Lucifer’s way of spreading himself out into the belief system in humans ... other religions are also “ LUCIFER”.. set ups ... as well ... Jesus Christ was Lucifer himself ... I saw LUCIFER in Hevean ... when he flew in and walked up to Gods throne ... as he did this .. Lucifer changed images a few times until he stood in front of God ... I LOOKEd ... and one of those heads was the head and face and cloak of “ Jesus Christ of Nazareth..”!!!!
He never put a name to the face of image or persona he was chznginging into as he stepped closer and closer .... no names .. just faces etc... “ Jesus Christ of Nazareth was one of them ... I never asked who they were ... Lucifer’s many changing faces ,.. I just looked as I stood behind Gods Robe...! I remember that “ Jesus Christ ... was the most evilest one .. ! That one and a few other heads and faces ... but Jesus Christ image was the most betraying of them all ..!!!
Lucifer is Jesus Christ of Nazareth...! They knew it .... so did Lucifer .... the whole entire time ...he says on the cross... “
“Father ... why have you forsaken me ..?? “ He look at God as his father and his creator .. father like
Gods had it with his bullshit right then and there ... humans are believing Lucifer’s “ Christianity “
His way of getting a hold on and believing in him .. a lie ! Jesus Christ is NOT the son of God ..!!!
He’s Lucifer ..!! He looks good on the surface ... into the eyes of many Christians and followers of others who might call him by another name or head or face ... other religions or cultures .... same old Lucifer .... he wants you to hold onto him before God our true father and creator ... if u believe the only way to God is through Jesus Christ ... then Lucifer has won U ..! The only way to God .. is straight to God himself .. for forgiveness love prayers needs ... etc..! Only God !!
He can test u through me or others Angels etc... but those are only tests ... He is the only one way ...! False prophets false priests .. False Jesus Christ of Nazareth.... all Lucifer ..!!!
Emilie Smith What is your basis for any of this?
To all those on this thread calling these men slaves, they were Not slaves. That is the whole premise of the history portrayed here - they were free men and women taken captive to become slaves. And when they got the chance to overpower their captors and try to go home, they took that chance. IF they had heard the gospel message before this, it was not through their masters, since they had none.
On the deck of the ship Cinque's people are singing to Yahweh, the same God that Christ is ascending to in the picture. He doesn't realize that he is reading his people's history because by that time the pictures were white washed. A very moving scene, but the writers were sending a grand message.
It is such a powerful scene and yet somewhat disconcerting for me - as the church used in this scene is the church I grew up in - and think of as my church still. (The Zabriskie Memorial Church of Saint John the Evangelist / St Johns in Newport RI)
The comfort that religion brings even in the midst of hideous hardship
Cinque’s tone with Yamba at 2.28...simple scene...deep metaphor.
Thanks for posting this video. This scene, showing the story of Yeshua (Jesus) and his life, death, resurrection and ascension into Heaven gave a whole different dimension to the movie, lifting it out of mere political and social commentary to something which might save souls.
The beginning part of this clip is the worst part of the movie. Why would an African who has just survived the Middle Passage and a slave revolt on a ship -- not to mention being stolen from his home and family and chained up like an animal (on the way to the ship, in Cuba, and now in the United States) -- ever say that some people in some picture book suffered more than his people??? This is horrible propaganda, and never should have been in the film. It ruins an otherwise decent movie.
I agree
"Their people have suffered more than ours". Really!?
Technically not out people but the Jewish people but then I'm Mexican with some Native American roots to so yeah I've got suffering in my ancestry to
Really.. The Jews had it rough in the Roman empire after multiple failed rebellions.
The Jews were enslaved and slaughtered several times in their history.
Uh, yeah. Read up on early Christianity. They had centuries of oppression and torture. Still do in some places with fundamentalism in the middle east and dictatorships
yes.
THANK YOU JESUS, THE LORD OF EVERYTHING. I LOVE YOU AND NEED YOU DARLING JESUS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORD, THAT IS THE TRUTH. AMEM.
Marcio Povoa shut up you fucking idiot!!! Worship the creator not the creation!!!!
edbtzkhud edbtzkhud oh shut up you idiot throwing insults around for no reason go worship your pedo of a prophet then
It’s crazy the man in the book looks like the men who took them captives. False doctrine in full effect.
All that's beautiful about Christianity, before the "thou shalt nots" and "my God is better than your God" come into it. Why can't it always be like this?
waivedwench Tell me again how True Christianity can be looked upon as anything else but good.
Ummmm .... let me see.... I’m gonna say THE CRUSADERS!!!! Fucking selfish ignorant jerk
Growing up Roman Catholic I definitely can relate to this scene which is why it's my favorite. It is said Catholics don't read the Bible we just look at the pictures. 😊
THEN HE WAS BORN AND EVERYTHING CHANGED
I remember watching this scene and thinking the people who like this story first are the ones who ended up selling out our village.
@Xpzilla, generally speaking, it's not the religion but the practitioners of it. What we all must understand is that the practitioner is imperfect and always will be. If you look for the light human beings, you will never find it, and what you are asking for cannot be found in humans. If you look at man, he will depress you.
All of these statements, believe it or not, were divinely inspired.
Take care.
Brilliant
I LOVE YOU FATHER 😭
A child of the living God! He comes for his own in many ways.
In Yeshua HaMashiach YHVH
I dreamed of this movie a night before i seen it. In the end of the movie in the island with the white round buildings. I dreamed i was a child with a bunch of other children who were very unhappy n had to remain quit all the time. And there were a bunch of nuns standing over our heads. When i saw the building i knew it was the place of my dream. These men learned of Christ and accepted Him without any prejudice. These men identify the Saints for me because they were innocent and were persecuted.
Anyone know what Bible they used did they create one specifically for the movie? I haven't been able to find an answer online. The drawings are gorgeous
Tell me again how True Christianity can be looked upon as anything else but good.
Beautiful O:).......
The Wizard really knows everything.
Too bad they didn't have the scripts with the real depictions of their ancestors. No white man died for anyone's sins of the world. It never happened. A white person would never die for my people..the scripts do not lie, Christ was not a white man. He was a black man from the teibe of judah & he did not die for the world... He died for HIS people who are the negroes & blacks in the diaspora... The Israelites... The true yahudine.
you're right, Jesus was not White; neither was He Black. He was middle eastern, and according to the Scriptures (please read Revelations) He died for all mankind, and anyone who calls on and is baptized into His name will be saved.:)
@@RobinPM86 there is no middle east its northeast africa... Secondly he was a black man. Jesus is the white man's fictitious homosexual diety not Hamashiach thats in Torah, OT, NT ETC... Don't refer to me to any books written by my ancestors, you aren't equipped nor called by the most high to teach his children anything, but to be taught by the salt of the earth. He didn't die for the world. You all have lied enough about a book that was never yours. We can read now and many of us know the truth that the world will inevitably know soon enough. Don't reply nor address me ever again. You are not my brother nor sister and any response hereafter will get you blocked & deleted.
As with so many others, I have no reason to believe these events from Bible ever actually happened. That being said, if the story brought them, or anyone else strength, I have no issue.
Was cool to find out that Cinque and some of the others once freed gifted John Q a Bible with a thank you note in it irl
Yamba does not appear at the end. I wonder what happened to him.
The story of JESUS told even in a few illustrations reach people from all over the world. I applaud this science that even Hollywood would put it in back then. Spreading the gospel of Jesus without them even knowing about it, and without resistance from the media. (and directed by a Jewish man). God speaks to us using whatever He can. Explore the gospel for yourself, your life will be changed for the better , guaranteed .
I despise this part of an otherwise great movie. I love how he tells him it's a fairy tale. How can christ look like the very people who kidnapped, raped, pillaged, and murdered your people. Also, be the one to save you? I hate this scene. To this day, I refuse to step foot in a church with a white Jesus on its walls.
He wasnt black.
@@xMorbidArtx he was a brown middle eastern man.

I prefer Amistad II, thank you very much.
Niech się Pan nie poddaje.
when you thank about it jesus came on the sene when we really need him its not a white man religion its the truth coming fouth saying im here.
Do they not know that Christ came from their land?
Black Africa?
No; His parents fled to Egypt for His safety but He was born in Bethlehem, as the Scriptures say.
@@SmashinAdams wrong He was Black from Ethiopia. Amos7:9
You clearly never read the Bible if you think Christ came for “their land”
@@katarn0329 lol. Let me guess, you build the pyramids too?>
Why do they put staples in the girls belly?
What a horrific irony. Slaves embracing the very religious dogma that was continuously and consistently used to justify their enslavement! You should read some of the biblical explanations slavery advocates espoused in the antebellum South. It's infuriating, and enough to make you nauseous! And it makes this scene all the more tragic.
huh?
And yet Abolitionists found their inspiration from Christian scripture, as well as the Spanish banning enslaving natives.
The slaves were made slaves by other Africans, so treating them as slaves seemed reasonable.
@@Egilhelmson People have always been able to manufacture some sort of rationalization from the Bible for whatever their personal predilections might be, because it's such a disjointed, irrational mess. But the sad fact remains that the Bible condones slavery, so the slaveholders didn't have to do much rationalizing.
Origin
Its shows them reading things they already knew about. Christianity was based off of Judaism which was based off of Egyptian myths which in turn were African indigenous. Funny how the three main religions were created off of misinterpreted African myths on spirituality.

They Saw the Noor in him, Alhamdulillah,
His Jugni,
For he was indeed followed by the Sun,
our beloved Prophet Jesus,
son of Mary,
But…
“they slew him not, nor crucify him, but he was made to appear to them like one crucified;”
“On the contrary. Allah elevated him to Himself. And Allah is Mighty, Wise”
To him we belong, And to him we shall return.
"He who deserves all praise. He has not begotten a son and has no partner in His Kingdom or in Sovereignty. He does not need any guardian to protect him."
I call you to the Righteous Path
Come to the Light , Follow the Noor of our Nabi Mohammed Rasool Allah
Allah Hu Akbar

The mende in this movie is terrible... horrible mende! I'm mende I speak mende. They should have got real mende actors like idris elba who actually speak the language. Great movie though other than than mende .
This scene was contrived to down play the role Jews played in trans-Atlantic slavery. This film, like most slave movies is a gross distortion of history.
+AClarionCallMinistry Hey, this is a great historical movie.
Or it might've been inserted to illustrate the role that some American Christians and British Christians played in ending of the slave trade and of the slavery of that time.
Idiots also think Africans lived fine and happy in Africa until the white man came. Read Negroes in Negroland. What a propaganda fairy tail. A black man out of Africa looks at a book and starts to understand a different language when Africans never even invented a written language? This whole film is Jewish propaganda to instill white guilt.
@@mentallyilldarkjeroid5378 LOL. Learn about slave trade first, then we wiil talk. Blacks were enslaving Blacks for centuries, then Muslims were doing same, whites came 1000 years later.
@@christianali5431 - Bondage is bondage. Stop with all the omax mess. #John3:16
It could have been more interesting to have him come up with a totally different interpretation, based on just the pictures. Even more powerful, touching, and tragic as well.
I personally felt this scene was just tossing candy to Christians. Maybe it was a way to get more white people to see the film.
It isn't. Cinquè itself was a key figure to Christianity spread in Sierra Leone when he returned home
It's not. Although Sierra Leone is about 3/4 Muslim today, the Christian 1/4 of the population was heavily influenced by Cinque's preaching.
Beautiful scene.... Christianity in the eyes of a pagan. Moving movie
