Description

[Machine Translation] [Happy the Best!"] The true history of the struggle for human dignity is realistically projected by director Spielberg. The angry cry of "GIVE US FREE" from those who were enslaved simply because of the color of their skin is a moving drama that pierces deeply into the hearts of the viewers. --This is Steven Spielberg's first film for DreamWorks Studios. The film was critically acclaimed for its star-studded cast and its perfection, and was nominated for four Academy Awards (R): Best Supporting Actor (Anthony Hopkins), Best Music, Best Costume Design, and Best Cinematography. Based on a true story, the film depicts the ordeal of Africans captured as slaves, their voyage on a slave ship, the rebellion on board, and their attempts to return to their beloved homeland. The rebels on the captured Amistad are brought to the U.S. as prisoners of war, charged with murder, and left to await their fate in prison. But this triggered a heated battle that tested the nature of American justice. And for the Africans who appeared in court, it was nothing more than a struggle for the basic human right of "freedom.

Description in Japanese

アミスタッド [廉価版] / 洋画

[ハッピー・ザ・ベスト!] 人間の尊厳をかけて闘った"真実の歴史"が、スピルバーグ監督によってリアルに映し出される。肌の色の違いだけで奴隷にされた者たちの怒りに満ちた「GIVE US FREE」の叫びが、心に深く突き刺さる感動ドラマ! ――スティーブン・スピルバーグのドリームワークス・スタジオでの監督第1作目となるのがこの作品。豪華スターたちの出演と、その完成度で絶賛を浴び、アカデミー賞(R)4部門―助演男優賞(アンソニー・ホプキンス)、音楽賞、衣裳デザイン賞、撮影賞にノミネートされた。実話に基づいたこの作品には、奴隷として捕えられたアフリカ人たちの、苦難に満ちた奴隷船での航海や、船上での反乱、愛する故郷への帰還する試みなどが描かれている。拿捕されたアミスタッド号の反乱者たちは、捕虜としてアメリカに連行された後、殺人罪で起訴され、牢獄で己の運命を待つ身となる。だがそれは、アメリカの正義の在り方が問われる、白熱した闘いの引き金となった。そして、裁判に出廷したアフリカ人たちにとっては「自由」という基本的人権を求める闘い以外の何物でもなかった。
メイキング・ドキュメンタリー、劇場予告編
