  • Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure

    Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure

    EVENT: Bill and Ted decided to kidnap Ludwig van Beethoven while he was performing to help them get extra credit on their history exam. FACT CHECK: In the movie, Beethoven can still hear but in reality I believe he was deaf at the time.
    CONNECTION: Bill and Ted's kidnapping is equivalent to me getting people involved in my situations to help me.
    RATING: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐I rate it 3/5 because although it was really interesting, it was kind of boring to me, but i usually don't watch these types of movies.

    12 Years a Slave

    EVENT: Solomon Northup was out to dinner with 2 white men when they later drugged, kidnapped, and sold him into slavery. FACT CHECK: In the movie, Northup only had 2 kids, but in reality he had 3 kids. CONNECTION: This movie reminds me of sex trafficking. Just like the 2 men took advantage of Northup and sold him into slavery, its the same thing. / RATING: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ I give it 3/5 stars because it was super informational but it makes black people look super low, but the movie was still good.
  • Lincoln

    Lincoln

    EVENT: The 13th amendment was passed and allowed slavery to be abolished in the United States. / FACT CHECK: In the scene when Lincoln slapped his son, there is no evidence of that happening and it would've been unlikely of him to do such. / CONNECTION: The people who were letting black people leave Ukraine leave during these tough times relate to the people who didn't want slavery abolished. / RATING: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ This movie was really good and I enjoyed watching it because it was very interesting.

    EVENT: The Moors surrender Granada. Then through an agreement, the Moors were able to stay in Spain, practice Islam, and keep their property.
