The documentary film of more than two hours generally tells the legendary life of this great man. Due to the death of his biological father, he who "accidentally" became the heir to the aristocratic dynasty seemed to have an extraordinary fate in the dark. As the son of extraordinary, fate has given him the suffering that ordinary people can't bear.
There are a few moments in the movie that are quite touching. When he went to see the president after spending 27 years in prison, the white entourage saw his unfastened shoelaces and immediately bent down to tie it; and the day he appointed the president, when he walked through the corridor, all the All of his white subordinates salute him, and these treatments are not only respect for his position, but also a testimony to the important victory of the racial revolution.
After reading some background stories, one said: On the day of his inauguration, he invited the three prison guards who had abused him when he was imprisoned on the island, and expressed his gratitude to them. It's like the narration at the end of the movie says:
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 of the color of his skin. People learn to hate. They can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart.
After watching the movie and watching his introduction, I realized that the inspiration for Beyond's "Glorious Years" also came from him, and the lyrics of the Cantonese version can better reflect the meaning of this song.
