Mandela in Film and History
1. In general, what did you like and dislike about the film? Personally, I liked the movie "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom" because it was well made, I was especially impressed by the good quality and diversity of the shots. On a less technical and more focused on the content note, I think the emotions of the characters were very well represented by the actors, the scenes where all the people were summoned to watch Nelson Mandela speak and at the end they all chanted and marched together were very great and exciting; inspiring even. What I disliked about the movie is, as stated on the article The Two Mandelas, that it's clear that it was made following the real life events experienced by Nelson Mandela, but never touching topics that could be controversial among American or western audiences in general, like the importance of The Communist Party of South Africa in the fight to end the apartheid or the radicalism of the ANC that the movie tries to conceal. Overall...
