BELLE is inspired by the true story of Dido Elizabeth Belle, the illegitimate mixed race daughter of a Royal Navy Admiral. Raised by her aristocratic great-uncle Lord Mansfield and his wife, Belle's lineage affords her certain privileges, yet the color of her skin prevents her from fully participating in the traditions of her social standing. Left to wonder if she will ever find love, Belle falls for an idealistic young vicar's son bent on change who, with her help, shapes Lord Mansfield's role as Lord Chief Justice to end slavery in England.

I watched this movie as a spur of the moment thing. I'd thought it would be another period era romance smut film (which is exactly why I watched it, don't judge), with racial tension thrown in to set it apart. In the end, it became a commentary that applies to modern day, and not just about slavery of colour, but of social standing, spirit and the human race. I had no idea it was based on real lives, which I admit actually made me rate it better. The costumes were beautiful, acting above average and a few stand out scenes. If you don't usually like period films, then the second half of the film might be more enjoyable for you then the first.

This movie is a MUST SEE. Watch it before reading this. I love period films like this for the costuming and the drama but this one stood out. As a commentary on the world we lived in and live in this movie stands apart and above the others. As part of the African Diaspora this movie resonates with m More
