| | Titanic (1997 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Scary Movie features a cinema scene in which a movie called 'Amistad 2' is advertised, with a black man mimicking the famous "I'm the king of the world!" scene at the ship's prow. | | | The 1997 film should not be confused with the Titanic movie made in 1953, nor a made-for-television film of the same title that was telecast in 1996. | | | Titanic was nominated in 14 categories and won 11, being the second movie to win that number (the first was Ben-Hur with The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King matching the record in 2004). |

| | Biography for Steven Spielberg (I) |
| | Spielberg directed and produced the epic, Amistad (1997), a spectacular film that was shorted at the Oscars and in release due to the fact that its release date was moved around so much in late 1997. | | | In 1993 Spielberg directed Jurassic Park (1993) which would go on to be the highest grossing movie of all time, for a short time. | | | Spielberg also produced two sequels to Jurassic Park (1993) which met with big box office but an increasingly critical crowd of movie-goers. |

| | The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) and Amistad (1997) followed. | | | He got the world's attention with the T.V movie Duel (1971), a hugely suspenseful picture about a small car being followed by a large truck. | | | Critics praised it, but in the end, it was Jaws (1975) that proved to be Spielberg's big break into the world of impossibly successful movies. |

| | Asia proves tough terrain for cable channels |
| | In November, the Malaysian cable company that carries HBO banned the R-rated 1997 historical epic "Amistad," about a slave revolt in the US, because the slaves are naked in some scenes. | | | "If you want to find out really quick what happens at the end of a movie," says HBO Vice President Vincent Teo, "watch the Malaysian version." | | | Malaysia also refused to show "Mobsters," a 1991 movie with Christian Slater playing legendary 1930s American gangster boss Lucky Luciano as a young man, not only because of what the local cable company called its "merciless violence" but also because it supposedly glorified criminals. |

| | Michael Basler's Anna Paquin Page |
| | Anna Paquin had a cameo in Spielberg's slave epos "Amistad" as Queen Isabella II of Spain. | | | In a sense, this completed the early work of Anna Paquin, comprising a remarkable collection of outstanding, mostly psychologically complex movies which she selected with sure hands, even more considering she was still a child. | | | While a Walk on the Moon was shot in summer 1997, it only appeared in US theaters in late 1999 and never made it to Germany. |

| | FilmChat: Mr Fantastic is William Wilberforce |
| | It could be interesting to see how this film compares to Steven Spielberg's Amistad (1997; my review), which concerns American abolitionists and takes place just a few years after Wilberforce's death in 1833. | | | The Hollywood Reporter says casting has begun for Amazing Grace, the upcoming movie about anti-slavery activist William Wilberforce that will be directed by Michael Apted and produced by Walden Media, the company behind The Chronicles of Narnia. | | | John Wesley's final letter before his death in 1791 was to Wilberforce His message: "Every true Christian is an abolitionist." Canadian writer Murray Pura has written an excellent book on Wilberforce as well. |

| | Joseph Story - definition of Joseph Story in Encyclopedia |
| | Of all of Story's opinions, non-lawyers are most likely to be familiar with the case of the Amistad, which was the basis for a 1997 movie of the same name by Steven Spielberg. | | | In addition to this he built up the department of admiralty law in the United States federal courts; he devoted much attention to equity jurisprudence, and rendered invaluable services to the department of patent law. | | | Soon after Story's appointment the Supreme Court began to bring out into plain view the powers which the United States Constitution had given it over state courts and state legislation. |

| | Africans, camera, action: 'Nollywood' catches world's eye csmonitor.com |
| | She cites 1997's "Amistad" as typical of Hollywood's handling of Africa: "It was a really strong story with a slave actually being the catalyst for his freedom, but somehow the Anthony Hopkins character [who played John Quincy Adams] ends up being the hero," she laments. | | | Likewise, the run of Africa-oriented movies in US theaters recently - mostly notably "Hotel Rwanda" - have featured American stars or characters in lead roles. | | | After years as the snickered-at stepchild of global movie industries, Nollywood is blossoming. |
