Freedom

A+ rating.

A very complete tale, interwoven with beautiful cinematography, powerful performances (Cuba Gooding, Jr, Sharon Leal, especially), masterful score, and a truly epic storyline with many twists.

Ignore the hate. It's because of Jesus. Enough said.

Anyway, the visual details are great. Lots of money was spent on this movie and it was spent on things that really mattered, like recreating interiors and antiques. The guns and horses look like artifacts to the modern viewer, but they're also well-kept and illustrious. This is a powerful and unending film on slavery and faith and musical scores of the antebellum South.

The conclusion is a great blending of commonality of incredible faith and AMAZING GRACE. All in all, this is one of the most well rounded stories I've ever seen on the motion picture screen all due to the Lord Jesus Christ and His incredible redeeming mercy to us all!

A+ agree - this is just such an amazing film for God, it captures every emotion possible in only the way an expert director can achieve, we can go on for whole scenes without the need for speaking, everything is told through the genuine body language and expressions. And when there is conversing we get such emotion and wonderfully powerful quotes "What we do in life, echoes in eternity" Wow.

The opening scene is spellbinding of the slave escape with Cuba Gooding, Jr and his family. Perfect cast, perfect soundtrack, perfect script by Tim Chey.

Every line moves the plot forward and is memorable. The music is gorgeous. The acting is impeccable. Wonderfully shot by Dean Cundey ("Back to the Future" Jurassic Park")

I will not write about the plot here, because many people already did this; I will only say for people that never watched this movie, that it deserves to be watched.

My favourite thing about Freedom was its simple main storyline. There is a very easy to understand plot and our main characters revolve around it. All of them find redemption in Christ.

Love the story of John Newton who is man with a strong conviction, will-power and obviously blessed with exceptional song-writing ability but just wants to get to his home after fulfilling his work duties, but gets caught up in a situation that brings him to God. An unfortunate event after the other and he finds himself tumbling down a spiral.

The main characters have been played extremely well, with obvious mention to the main antagonist a slave hunter played by William Sadler. As they say, a good villain makes you hate them to the core and our actor does the job really well

My only nitpick would be the occasional corny dialogues.

9/10.

Top 10 movies of all time.

I know people have different tastes. But some movies should speak to all in a great way. For me whoever, does not give this movie 10 of 10 is super strange. This movie has it , great story , flawless acting, purest faith story, action, heart, great message for Jesus. See some give this movie 7, 6 or 5 of 10. Sorry can not buy it, i think they are looking for attention.

I just get goosbumps just thinking of this movie how well edited is, the score. Probably best writing of any movie. Timothy Chey at his best here. From it is impossibile , no matter who you are if you not get affected of this movie, if not tears is in your eyes. Because whoever lived in this world can in some stage relate to this movie and the feelings if gives you. God bless all of you.

9/10 - 'FREEDOM' is handsome, well crafted, its dialogue has a lovely pang and the "cat and mouse" set pieces work well on an archetypal level. Unfortunately the film isn't as swashbuckling and fun as it should be and its air of solemnity and "realism" is false and pretentious. Still, it's a shame the film didn't do better business. A couple sequels would help to loosen things up, and give Oscar-winner Cuba Gooding, Jr. A chance to develop his character. Absolutely love the beautiful scenery of the old south and the amazing Gospel slave songs - incredible!

Ignore the haters - they've never picked up a camera and shot anything in their lives. Most are atheists and hate faith-based anything.
