clarify that I am not a fan of this actor unpronounceable name, the entrance leads only because it participates in two productions which I will comment. Ioan Gruffudd
, is best known for two things, for his role in The Fantastic 4 for being partner in the excellent Matthew Macfadyen Warriors (hahaha).
In Amazing Grace (2006), plays William Wilberforce , one of the top fighters for the abolition of slavery in England in the late eighteenth century.
As this struggle was against the interests of powerful enemies gained important and ridicule of many. The fifteen years that hard-won said the abolition raged on their health.
To show how difficult it was Logar victory, the film combines the story of two times, the young, full of optimism and idealization and premature old age, with its doubts and dissent.
Many of the flashbacks are in the company of his romantic interest, a girl who admires him and he tells the details of their struggle, played by Romola Garai (another girl girdled).
historical film is a typical English perfectly set, correctly acted in major roles with excellent actors in supporting roles (Michael Gambon, Albert Finney, Rufus Sewell, Ciaran Hinds, Toby Jones). Michael Gambon as Charles
Fox, a member of parliament for disagreeing with the protagonist will end by allying with him, steals several scenes. The same goes for Albert Finney, who plays John Newton , a former slave trader who repented of his life and becomes a Protestant pastor who also was the author of the famous hymn that gives the film its title.
Impeccable in its accomplishment, but terribly slow and heavy most of the film.

After reading Great Expectations (Great Expectations, Charles Dickens), I decided to see the adjustment made by the BBC in 1999.

Miniseries into two parts which tells the story of Pip (Ioan Gruffudd) from childhood to adulthood, his relationship with Miss Havisham (Charlotte Rampling ), his dream of becoming a knight, his failure and his unfathomable love for Estella.
The first part of the series, greatly respects the development of the book. It is an almost literal adaptation. The second part, covering over youth and adulthood, I was a little disappointed by the liberties taken with the book. Changed some important things, omitted other and made to Estella Havisham ( Justine Waddell), too "good" for my taste.
Perhaps my objections are guilty of having too cool the novel my head.
BAFTA award winner, is well done and well acted.

I say goodbye until the next entry, leaving them with one of the many versions of the hymn is Amazing Grace. One of the songs "spiritual" more beautiful.
