From the biographical film alone, "Mandela" is really mediocre, just look at the Wikipedia running account. As far as Mandela is concerned, it is completely reasonable for the Western world to give him a Nobel Peace Prize. He can only speak of a political product of a special period in South Africa. Apartheid, the low status of blacks, and local riots in South Africa under white rule required a president acceptable to both whites and blacks to stabilize the country's chaotic situation, and Mandela, the former leader of the black movement, was released from prison , and was elected president, so a black liberation country, racial equality, and national independence South Africa was officially established. Mandela is hailed by the West as a great man, a legend, and a Hong Kong band sings him. South Africa has indeed stabilized the chaos and quelled racial conflicts because of his coming to power. After the sovereignty of South Africa was returned to the hands of local black people, South Africa has also developed from a quasi-developed country to a quasi-second-class developing country. Of course, we can't blame Mandela and the others for their poor governance, because Africa, as a continent rich in natural resources, has never developed a country that can compete with modern white countries. Who can the black people blame! Assuming that if Japan is a victorious country in World War II, I think the Manchukuo with Puyi as the emperor, the western countries are likely to award him a Nobel Peace Prize! ! ! ! Does the world discriminate against skin color? No, it's weak! Does the world respect white? No, it's strength

    This is no different from a film with the main theme of "Meeting the Uncle". Once a long running account is produced, several events are selected to divide the paragraphs of the film, and the rest is a combination of scenes without dramatic tension. never mind. If the main creators are so untalented, and storytelling can only be achieved by "reproducing events", then a documentary filmed by a real person may be better. Anyway, there are also memoirs of great men. ★

    Mandela was undeniably great, Elba and the new Miss Money Penny performances were excellent, but the biopic was only passable

Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom quotes

  • 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. No one is born hating another person because the color of his skin. People learn to hate. They can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart.
