Amistad: Difference between revisions

* [[Et Tu, Brute?]]: Cinque, the village chief, is sold to slavers by his own people (and possibly his wife).

* [[Evil Brit]]: ''Super''averted. Not only does the film take pains to note the role the British played in battling against slavery (although not the role they played in having it...), but the film even casts British actors as two of the decent Americans involved.

* [[Historical Villain Upgrade]]: President Martin Van Buren.

* [[Hollywood History]]: Presidential candidates didn't campaign for votes at the time, and some aspects of the court case are altered for dramatic effect.
