"Belle" is a Biography - Drama movie in which we watch the life story of Dido Elizabeth Belle, a mixed-race woman who was the daughter of a Royal Navy Captain. She was raised by an aristocratic uncle of his, she had a good education and she also understood very well the true meaning of society that time.
I liked this movie because it is based on true events and on the life of an important person. It also represents an important fight for civil rights along with an understanding of the society of that time. The direction which was made by Amma Asante, it was very good and she presented very well her main character along with her feelings, dreams and her life goals. The interpretation of Gugu Mbatha-Raw who played as Dido Elizabeth Belle, it was outstanding and she expressed very well the struggle of her character at that period. Other interpretations that have to be mentioned were Tom Wilkinson's who played as Lord Mansfield, Sam Reid who played as John Davinier and Emily Watson's who played as Lady Mansfield. To sum up, I have to say that "Belle" is a nice movie and I recommend everyone to watch it because it presents with a very clever way many sensitive subjects that need to be mentioned.
