Belle

     I went to see the movie, Belle, today and I liked it because I like historical period pieces. It dealt with themes of racism,class, money women's right and roles and stations in life. The movie wa based on a true story and it had a happy ending which gave me a feel good moment. While slavery was not legal in England the trade was supported by the shipping industry. Liverpool was a focus for such trade. There were many abolitionists who campaigned against slavery and eventually got laws passed to do away with it.
