      decide

      The film "Mandela" is based on Mandela's autobiography of the same name published in 1995. The film recalls his upbringing and records Mandela's transformation from a revolutionary fighter to a peace fighter, turning a severely racially divided man. The whole process of turning a country into an equal and harmonious country. We can also clearly see through the film how prejudice has evolved step by step, expanded into hatred and even killing, and human beings have not yet eradicated racial...

      The glory days of Mandela

      Listening to Beyond's "Glorious Years" and then want to know about the life of Mandela, the founding father of South Africa, I learned about Maddie, 27 years in prison, second wife Winnie, and the abuse Winnie received in prison, the death of her eldest son In the car accident, the death of his mother while he was imprisoned, the spear of the nation, these words, a feeling of admiration are palpable, thinking of Somerset Maugham's "The Moon and Sixpence", all the tragic sacrifices that idealism...

      Our time needs heroism

      When I just ordered movie tickets online, I found a movie ticket that was very cheap. It was . I knew a little about Mandela before, so I wanted to book it and see it.
      Then I suddenly found out that it was This movie has a row a day and it is at 12:00 noon, which means that the movie is over, I can't watch it at night, but if I watch it at noon, it will be too late for work in the afternoon.
      I suddenly feel deeply People are willing to be entertained, but not willing to learn...

      power and bloodshed

      I don't know if the movie can fully reflect that long-term story. He is indeed a man of great wisdom. Perhaps his experience gave him enough mind, and it was precisely because he ended an endless slaughter. In fact, I also thought that he was a terrorist when he was young, just like Winnie, but the years slowly washed his soul, and one day he broke into a butterfly. I hope to have a chance to read Mandela's biography, expect new harvests, and look forward to a deeper understanding of the...

      3 stars for the movie, 1 star for Mandela. It is indeed a bit too run-of-the-mill, missing touching moments. Finally, when Mandela became president, white officials saluted him with a little...

      The adaptation of the autobiography is too sloppy, showing the struggle for freedom all the way, but it is basically unclear why and how it is like this. Anyway, he is Mandela. The male protagonist has recently shot a lot of commercial blockbusters, and the side of the old-age makeup is sometimes a little bit like, but when he was young, the prototype was very ruffian. It's better to watch a documentary if you see the live-action video at the end of the film. The release of this film in the...

    • Nelson Mandela: I have walked a long walk to freedom. It has been a lonely road, and it is not over yet. I know that my country, was not made to be a land of hatred.
