Anyone who has seen AMISTAD or ROOTS needs to scrutinize the Michael Apted directed Incredible GRACE which predates and fills in so great of the political and humanistic tug of war that existed concerning the poor dirty business of the African Slave Trade.Hollywood could not have conjectured a more honest film than the right legal and spirited life of William Wilberforce,a revered valorous figure in England,who,with the benefit of other abolitionists and political sympathizers,takes on the English Parliament and wins legislation to finally kill the Slave Trade in 1807.This movie is SO important because it is this section of history that leads other European nations to follow suit in subsequent years and eventually to kill the trade worldwide.Michael Apted has skillfully rescued this account from being another biopic,and has turned it into a sweeping account that rings historically accurate.
No finer actor could have been chosen to play Wilberforce than the Emmy Award winning Welsh marvel Ioan Gruffudd,pronounced YO-an Griffith( HORATIO HORNBLOWER,SOLOMON AND GAENOR,VERY ANNIE MARY) .Gruffudd positively understands the heart and soul of Wilberforce,and delivers a tender yet dynamic knockout performance of this absolutely giant among men whose inner convictions and remarkable and persuasive rhetoric eventually pick up over Parliament in a nearly twenty year life-and-death struggle.

This film brings tremendously lawful and historical opinion of the political machine that was (and frankly composed is) in set from 1785 to 1807.Historical figures argue and debate their opposing views while the lives of millions of innocent Africans and the fortunes and supremacies of national pride hang in the balance.The film moves lickety-split and is not preachy or at all heavyhanded in any direction.It simply tells and fair and riveting true-to-life myth.Some characters and events are combined together to compact the screenplay,but no truth is lost in the outcome.
The film takes it’s name from the distinguished 18th-century famous hymn Improbable GRACE,written by the Anglican minister John Newton,who had,years earlier,himself been an active and ardent participant in the selling of African flesh.John Newton is portrayed (a bit distinguished like a crazy extinct celibate monk) by customary actor Albert Finney in one of the smaller supporting supporting roles.Though powerful of what Newton says in the film is directly from his maintain memoirs,he was a married man,who,historically,valued his wife as his best friend.Now in his declining years,Newton,who has in later years been Rector of a London Church,is sought out by Wilberforce,who sat under Newton’s pulpit as a child,to have the venerable minister encourage him in the cause of exposing the Slave Trade in all of it’s ugliness.As was honest in Newton’s staunch life,Finney shows that this is the singlemost painful event in Newton’s life thus making it next to impossible to discuss.The film directs Newton and Wilberforce over the course of the twenty years in order for the unpleasant truth to reach forth.Proof was considerable to persuade Parliament, and Newton was a key section to passing the abolitionist legislation.
Up and coming actor Benedict Cumberbatch accurately conveys William Pitt The Younger,in his boyhood friendship with Wilberforce and his subsequent rise to Prime Minister of England.What is intelligent about their relationship is that all of their political idealism comes to fruition showing the power and perseverance that these two young men had in fighting an age conventional institution that threatened to destabilize all of England.Other historical figures in this film such as Lord Tarlton (the ever fabulous Ciaran Hinds) and Equiano (Youssou N’dour),Toby Jones as Lord Clarence (this actor seems to be able to play EVERYTHING!!!) and actors Michael Gambon as Sir Charles Fox do the utmost to bring this film to the heart and consciences of the world today.
This film is simply NOT unprejudiced another period section drama or an “inspirational” film;rather it is an artfully scripted,deftly acted and directed and compelling fraction of historical drama that all will help from viewing.Again,5 *****’s is not sufficient.May there be more films of such quality and substance made like this!
