Movie "Amazing Grace"

While I was at the movies to see "Letters from Iwo Jima" (see review below) I saw a preview for a new movie that will be released on February 23,2007 called "Amazing Grace" In the preview the movie looked very good.The movie is an inspiring story based on a legendary historical British Member of Parliament, William Wilberforce. During the late 18th century and early 19th century, a very young Wilberforce is elected to the English Parliament and over the course of several decades leads the fight to ban slavery in the English Empire.The Movie gets it's title from the fact John Newton, the composer of the famous hymn 'Amazing Grace', (played powerfully by Albert Finney), was a contemporary and friend of William Wilberforce. John Newton was also a reformed ex-slave trader. I love Amistad and hope this movie lives up to the preview I saw.
