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.

This is a beautifully shot, well acted story line that sheds some idealized light on on one of the most historically significant cases on human rights. There are a Belle and there was the cruel and brutal Case of the Zong. Enjoy this movie as a movie with some historical material thrown in. It is TRULY enjoyable and well acted. And be aware that Belle's life after this period depicted in this movie, though far better then 95+% her contemporaries, was not all sunshine and light.

SpoilerAlert:Great to be refreshed on 18th century English law and society. Didos uncle/papa was actually legally obligated to raise her in the family estate, he stated so constantly defending her postion in society and his household, though he loved her dearly,he always cited the law as reason. His great feeling of responsibility to uphold and protect the law was challenged by this love and knowledge of what is right,all brought to his attention by this exceptional young woman, Dido,and her true love John

I enjoyed it. The ending went a little too modern in an action that would not have been allowed during the time period, but if that was all that I noticed, they did a great job with the telling of this story. I could watch it again.
