powerful and a hard thing to do at that time

I truly believe that in that period of time it may have been hard, but not impossible when you love somebody no matter who they are or what color they are and truly love them, you will fight for them, so much more could have been done back then if just one person stood up and step forward, could you imagine the lives that would have been saved and spared pain cowards

@@tanyagaines3487 especially if u a true god lover

I’m mixed, black and white. People always believe that no one would want a mixed race wife. Many did. My family history is proof of that. Was it difficult? Absolutely! However, with money and a respectful family backing? Many men would in those times.

I love this movie , but it’s not factual!

I thought I was the only one. 💓

Are you of any African country decent? Are you immediately noticed as an "African American" by the police or neighbor?

@@jessicaclifton6829 yes I'm Jamaican 🇯🇲

Yeah that was sad and it’s crazy because she’s so pretty/dreamy

Elizabeth definitely tried Dido and Dido read her down. They eventually got back on good terms.

They were cousins not sister's.

Lolllll yeah she did. She literally told Dido she was illegitimate (bc she didn’t want to say black) and beneath the guy she liked so he wouldn’t touch her

Maybe when they were kids as most kids don't see colour. But as they grew up she felt she was superior because of what the society was like. But soon she found money was also her problem. But it was Dido who was willing to give her some of hers without any terms or conditions.

Just an FYI. This is a true story so the main "storyline" stuck to actual events. Elizabeth at one point did treat her cousin Dido unfairly, but they eventually made up. Though not to the same extent as Dido, Elizabeth faced prejudice in the marriage market for not having enough money.

This movie was heavily romanticized. He loved his daughter but there is still questions of whether or not he loved her mother. Some people say he set her up in a house in Florida and some people say that he never did such a thing and sold her instead. Didos mother was a West Indies slave so why would he set her up in a house in Florida???

Did her mother died? Was her mother his slave or did he just rented her for a few nights? Then the true owner informed him that the girl he rented had given birth to a baby girl, asking him would he like to buy that baby girl? And maybe it was just followed by a series of serendipitous events, that somehow this man actually accumulated a substantial amount of money, and he actually had it registered that Dido was his daughter, so by default she inherited his money. The fact that he did not see much of her is a hint.

There are plenty of white people with black ancestry I know a few who traded her DNA to Sudan..15% Sudanese

This is the Hollywood version, so we viewers really don't know if the slaver truly loved his slave. But, it was very common for slavers to father children with their slaves in that time and it didn't always mean "love". Hollywood put a spin on it no doubt.

What is the name of this movie

At that point in History, The French and Spanish hated each other and they both in turn hated the British. Everyone without exception hated one another and they did not need a reason. Look at the Irish and the Scotts, they still hate each other. And both hate the British

girl bye 💀 the movie is 90% fake, look it up. i doubt you would find it inspirational if it started with Dido's father in a room with a 14 blck slave child, who is Dido's mom, Her mom gave birth to Dido at 15

He wasnt elizabeths father The two girls are cousins. Didos father left her money after he died Elizabeths father remarried,thats y he left her with his uncle. Watch the movie ull understand.

I agree with you as well ,but at the same time maybe she may not have found anyone, I understand how he could want to ensure his daughter's future, but he should ensure both of his daughter's future in case neither of them ever found anyone, it should never matter about color they both are his children and now both of them have issues some seen in some unseen who he love more and it was him that made that question arise

Not true back then if you didn’t have money the men didn’t want you… you gotta watch the movie

@@tanyagaines3487 They weren't sisters,They were cousin with different fathers 😊

@@tanyagaines3487 it’s not who he loved more it’s who he was worried about more. Those times where very hard, and they where harder for people of color.

this movie is 100% fake and totally different to real Dido. Elizabeth was the heiress who married first to rich man worth £20,000 a year in 1785 and left kenwood. While, Dido father died in 1788 & left Dido nothing. the fact that Lord Mansfield make sure Lady Elizabeth inherited £40,000 and Dido got £500 also very telling. (Dido's father rapd Dido's mom who was only 14yo slve at the time) John daviniere was a servant not remotely abolitionist lawyer, he didn't even work at Kenwood.

@@samanthasmith61 that’s sad because reality is always the opposite

@@bhavanasurti5646 exactly but especially this movie, Marie Antoinette 2006 which was deemed inaccurate (costume, makeup, accent) was practically a history book compared to this.. since it at least followed her life story very closely

The movie is wonderful, I absolutely love it and know you and your family will too

@@danceboi19 it's a really fake fantasy version of her life, i doubt you would watch it if it was her real life

Ohh thank you I love that film, I'll find this one :)

It's a great movie The actress was wonderful

where can I watch it? here on YT ? Thanks in advance

Even better than pride and prejudice lovely movie I watched this movie more than two times already

terrible! 100%fake and opposite to real dido

They also have the book called Belle

I have it on DVD.

I got the DVD from Walmart

Beautiful performance and a charming movie

Beyond the lights was her first starring movie role

@@sharondaoliver2106 : Belle is her first movie, 2013, Beyond the lights was 2014. I have both of them.

@@sharondaoliver2106 guess they burst your bubble oops 😂 don't correct someone if you don't have the facts 😂

I k ew I recognized the Dido. Gugu Embotha Raw. She us a wonderful actress. I could only watch half of this movie a few years ago. I couldn't bring myself to watch more. Due to the comments here I'm going to look for it to watch it again.

What is the name of the movie?

@@ehwafavour It's called, "Belle" ☺

Real Elizabeth Murray was filthy rich! her father 7th Viscount Stormont arranged so eventually she will have 30000 pound!! the same amount as the richest duke in England gave his daughter. real Lady Elizabeth Murray married first at age 25 to wealthy gentleman heir to Earl of Winchilsea and Earl of Nottingham. her father loved Elizabeth so much she inherited the most money than his other children. it's possible that he bestow her mother's wealth to her in real life, dido married later at 32 to a Servant called John. she also had no money lol!! she only got 500 pound from her great uncle, a tiny fraction compared to what Elizabeth got. also Dido's father left her nothing! he only had 1000 pound and it was given to his other 2 illegitimate children Elizabeth Lindsay/palmer and John Lindsay also Lady Elizabeth and Dido belle was 2nd cousin, their parents are 1st cousin.

Me too

in real life she was the heiress and loved by her rich father, Dido was broke and abandoned by her father, dido married a servant, Elizabeth married aristocrat twice richer than Mr Darcy

this movie 100% fake. In reality, Dido had a creep for a father, he rapd a 14 yo child slave (Dido's mother) he continued to 4 black women having 4 more illegitimate children, he was a rpist and a scoundrel, he actually left Dido NOTHING so Dido was BROKE. (he actually died in 1788, Elizabeth already had 2 kids by then) Dido married in 1793 when she was 32 to a servant. now in real life, Lady Elizabeth was the heiress, her father loved her like he loved her mother, which he deemed his true love, her father and her uncle in total gave her a huge fortune of £40,000 which generated £2,000 a year . Elizabeth married an Aristocrat with wealth of £20,000 a year and lived in 2 huge mansions

maybe if they ever go to make movie about black African in Africa it would... they always act like Europe is the only culture and continent in the world

Unfortunately, you aren't going to find any part of Africa untouched by slavery and colonialism. A lot of the ills Europe and England did are still present today.

@@domoniquer.4342 regardless, more positive representation is needed. You're preaching to the choir sweetie

I'd love to see a film based on the life of Robert Smalls.

Lol, who will reprimand him?

@@David-io9lp Davidner or even Lord Mansfield .

I’ve seen the movie, it’s really good.

The man was in love🤣

The little girl that they got to play the younger version of Belle so adorable!

It's ok

WHY??

Love and light to you♥️♥️

name of the movie

@@stellankya9214 belle

she has no money in real life

Bridgerton vibes🎉💖 marrying age is 10 years old

FALSE! MANY children born out of wedlock had great lives. MANY children born in wedlock had shit lives.

Talk about missing the point entirely: This movie has absolutely fvckall to do with "having children out of wedlock"

*used too. Not anymore, at least not everywhere.

This was not about having children out of wedlock.

I am not sure if she was born out of wedlock. His first wife might have died and he might have married the black wife in West Indies. That was why the biracial kid had his last name. This movie is about racial discrimination, not about out of wedlock children. I don't know where you live. At least in the US and Canada, it is no big deal if your parents are not married.

In real life Elizabeth was left with 10,000 pounds and dido was left with around 1,000. She married the family steward for security reasons after her aunt and uncle passed.

were?

Can you name EVERY "European citizen" you are alluding to?

They still are 😂

This is the norms at the time. Even in other parts of the world. Women were treated second class citizen. Although if u will trace back even in the Roman and Greek era, this was the kind of society that they have.

Don't ever forget that the slaves were SOLD to the Europeans by the Africans, so there is plenty of wickedness to go around.

You are right, but just because one person suffers more doesn't mean the other doesn't suffer. It's like saying someone with a broken leg shouldn't complain because another person has lost their leg. In the movie Elizabeth just had a moment of being human. When we hurt we only see that. She is a good person and it doesn't last long. That doesn't make it right, but it's just the way most humans are at one time or another. She loved Dido with all her heart and one moment of pain doesn't destroy that.

@@bobbierobinson6269 Agreed

thank god for you. this movie is FAKE! Real Elizabeth Murray was filthy rich! her father 7th Viscount Stormont arranged so eventually she will have 30000 pound!! the same amount as the richest duke in England gave his daughter. real Lady Elizabeth Murray married first at age 25 to wealthy gentleman heir to Earl of Winchilsea and Earl of Nottingham. her father loved Elizabeth so much she inherited the most money than his other children. it's possible that he bestow her mother's wealth to her in real life, dido married later at 32 to a Servant called John. she also had no money lol!! she only got 500 pound from her great uncle, a tiny fraction compared to what Elizabeth got. also Dido's father left her nothing! he only had 1000 pound and it was given to his other 2 illegitimate children Elizabeth Lindsay/palmer and John Lindsay so yeah... terrible movie, insulting Dido's real experience

😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂

Sadly racism that has been perpetuated by Africans to. The world is a cruel place. The last slaves to be owned in the US was by Native Americans even after the civil war was over. But we get stuck on whites. Because you know.... White people are all bad, and have never been apart of slavery. Ignorance sure is bliss if you ask me.

This a true story

the people lived, but this isn’t a true story, it was written by the Director & producer of the movie

What’s the movie called?

@@Cocoiland Literally her name: Dido Elizabeth Belle.

the movie was fake though

Life of a Naval father

It was like that in those days...

in those days it was very common to leave your child in the household of another gentile family. The girls would be companions for the lady of the house and wealthier relatives could provide an education and social opportunities for less wealthy ones. Tutors and governesses could be shared. The parents wouldn't be involved much as they had staff to raise the kids.

@@MsJubjubbird he has 5 illegitimate children from 5 different women, love how none of the other kid was brought up there.. scoundrel also the movie is 100% fake go read about her real life

tell her that this movie was fake! Real Elizabeth Murray was filthy rich! her father 7th Viscount Stormont arranged so eventually she will have 30000 pound!! the same amount as the richest duke in England gave his daughter. real Lady Elizabeth Murray married first at age 25 to wealthy gentleman heir to Earl of Winchilsea and Earl of Nottingham. her father loved Elizabeth so much she inherited the most money than his other children. it's possible that he bestow her mother's wealth to her in real life, dido married later at 32 to a Servant called John. she also had no money lol!! she only got 500 pound from her great uncle, a tiny fraction compared to what Elizabeth got. also Dido's father left her nothing! he only had 1000 pound and it was given to his other 2 illegitimate children Elizabeth Lindsay/palmer and John Lindsay also Lady Elizabeth and Dido belle was 2nd cousin, their parents are 1st cousin.

and also only 10% accurate to real historical person Dido Belle, almost everything about her in the movie was opposite

What's the movie nameplea

What is the title of the movie

this movie is 100% fake dido was left nothing by her father, again the african director faked her wealth and then movie plot revolve around finding suitable husband with her faked wealth, they also made Lady Elizabeth poor which couldn't be more false. in real life Lady Elizabeth marry the heir of Earldom of Winchilsea, at 25 yo and leave kenwood, dido stayed until lord mansfield's death and then at 31 married john daviniere john daviniere was a servant/valet usually a man in his position would marry a maid, she become a steward after dido died and then remarry later to white girl

not accurate

cause it's fake

😊

o

exactly, but back in those days she black.. but they should use the correct pronounced now biracial

Um, it's the 1 drop rule. If we have 1 drop of black blood, we black. By THEIR own rule. She is BLACK.

Who do you think came up with the one drop rule that persists to this day? Sure, she is biracial and is closer to perceived Whiteness, but ultimately, she's seen by most non-BIPOCS as an n-word. An exotic one, but the n-word nonetheless.

nah! it's 99% fake opposite of real life Dido, who irl was broke and married a servant when she was age 32 spinster..... then died 11 years later... yeah no! great great great fantasy

Wats the title
