SPIRIT
Today's film was Michael Apted's
This is the story of the abolition of slavery in England (and hence the world) through the life story of William Wilberforce.
It is an old fashioned movie in many ways, sumptuously told.
The entire cast is focused and brilliant. Ioan Gruffudd is Wilberforce. Albert Finney and Michael Gambon are especially fine in small but critical roles.
The whole thing is quite moving.
I can not discuss this in any effective way without somehow diminishing the experience of seeing it.
The impact comes from all sides of the enterprise.
I will give it a 5 out of Netflix5.
