First movie review: Mandela's History

First movie review: Mandela's History

First i want to say that i really enjoy it the movie, i was so into "criticizing a book for its cover" just because it was a movie about two hours, but really was very fast the time that i take to saw this movie. Maybe because i didn't know so much about the MAndela's life i thought that i was not going to like it, but no, now i feel more samrt hahha.

1. In general, what did you like and dislike about the film?

As an frustrated actor i really enjoy it the performance of the characters, i really believe everything that i was seeing in the movie, specially on of the main characters to me, Winnie, i think that she defnitely stole my attetion and everything, she was so strong, powerfull and the way that she make me feel with her performance was amazing i love her!!!!.

The thing that i don't like was when they use "real material" for the manifestations and thats things, i understand what they want to do and show us with that but for me was kinda "mmmm na kill the fantasy about this movie" you know what i mean?

2. In your own words, how would you compare the "various Mandelas;" the ones from the article and the one from the film?

I feel kinda torn with this, cause i really like it the mandelas movie and how he was, so was bittersweat read later that exist an another mandela so different in the way that he was. But i think honestly that doesn't exist two mandelas, i mean in the conext that he was be in obviously theres so many things that you have to do and otheres that you have to left and miss, for example when in the article say he was a bad familiar, how you could be a good one if you don't even know the people that actually your family? in this career i undertsand and learn that you can't no separate the person with the conext and i feel that this article does that.

3. What was the role that Winnie Mandela played in the film? Think about the contrast between her and the other ANC members.

I have to be honest, i didn't know nothing about the person of winnie and i kinda sorprise about her activist and everything that she does for her people, and al, the things that she has to suffer, she was for me one of the top hings that i can rescue of the movie, i really connect with her and understand completely her position and point of view that was so different in comparison of her ex husband.

She played a role of  a empowerment women, cause if being "black" was difficult just thinking in being a "black women", she really gave hope to the people when they started to lose it so i think that everything that she does is very important to the history and the politics of africa.

And she was diferrent cause she wants another ways to make the differents, more violent, more radical, but again we have to understand that she suffer so much more than the other people in the anc.

4.4. How do you compare the role of Nelson Mandela and the African National Congress in the struggle against the apartheid and in the post-apartheid South Africa to the Concertación and their role in the struggle against Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship and in post-dictatorial Chile?

I think about this a lot cause i realy want to find something in common or somenthing very strong but i can't, obviously is so similar, i mean two goverment that segregate person just because of them color skins or political opinions, but the diferrence to me is that in Chile theres no exist an icon to define the fight, i mean when we think in dictartorship of our country we alredy think in Pinochet, the bad guy of this history, but when we think in the revolution in african we think in mandelas, the good one. In chile we don't have a lider, we have a bunch of people tired of the horribles ways that pinochet has it the country.

I think that obvoiusly we can compare the roles of mandelas and the concertation cause are opponents to the bad goverments and dictatorship in our case.  

I can say that i the end of the day we should compare the roles of the people and not the most "iconic" person in this revolution jeje.

Well i think thats this is everything, i hope you like it in the way that i like the movie!!!!
