À propos de ce film

Inspired by the true story of Dido Elizabeth Belle, this powerful film stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw as the mixed-race daughter of a British Navy officer raised by her wealthy great-uncle (Tom Wilkinson) and his wife (Emily Watson). Although racism prevents her from enjoying the full advantages of her upbringing, Belle's love for an idealistic young man sparks change that may impact generations to come.

Notes et avis

A story that shows who we are and why we are. Belle with a different shade to othets is driven by her father to a home where she may not always be accepted to who she is. Doubted for many years that she is loved she keeps her pride and dignity together. Happiness shows but slowly. For her companion 'sister' may still take over. Refers to racism, human rights and freedom of speech. Includes romance, as well.

i am very intrested in history. black history. and have studied the topic of slavery in britian. the caribben. america.and slavery through out africa i found the film was made well and was enteraining. in my opinion.the film made light of the facts of howbelle.the faimly and local community would. have felt and reacted at that time in england

Another perception on life during/after slavery... showing the different out looks on the issue. It show's no one is born racist - they are taught. So glad she found happiness and not someone elses.
