Since you are probably going to sleep watching it again, might as well give you a short review of the film ( in case you miss it again ):

4. Amazing Grace

directed by Michael Apted

Can one person change the world? You bet, and no film indicates that notion more than this one, a biopic about the life of William Wilberforce, a devout Christian politician who almost single-handedly was responsible for the abolition of the slave trade in the British Empire.

Ioan Gruffudd brings both gravitas and a dose of humanity to the role, portraying the 19th Century Parliamentarian as a man on a mission, driven by his love for God and love for all mankind. En route, he meets former slave trader John Newton (played by the terrific Albert Finney), the writer of the hymn "Amazing Grace" who motivates Wilberforce to persist in his quest. It's a "history film" without being dull, and a "religious film" without being preachy. But perhaps most of all, it's a movie that will convince any viewer that he or she can also make a difference in a sin-sick world desperately in need of social justice, mercy and compassion.

Oh, I’m familar with the story already. It was too much dialogue and talking. Cinema is a visual medium and should be more than set piece scenes most of which could have been done on a stage. History doesn’t have to be dull.
