Biographies are not easy to shoot

Perhaps the most impressive thing about Mandela as a great man who spent his whole life fighting for the people of South Africa and apartheid is the extraordinary spirit of continuing to fight for freedom after 27 years in prison. In the early part of the film, he was cheating with a young girl who supported his movement when he was young, which made people think that this biopic was going to be made into a good feature film, but it was only later that the film felt that the film was still a relatively weak textbook. Textbooks are as good as textbooks. Everything that should be narrated, glorified, and not worth mentioning are skipped, but I think it's a pity that Mandela's third wife is not mentioned. In addition, the introduction of the background is sometimes ambiguous, and the main turning points are briefly introduced in a few strokes. For example, after Mandela was imprisoned, his wife Winnie was actually relying on his influence (and later (plus his daughter) is constantly giving speeches and fighting, but it gives the impression that all of a sudden the pants will come, the president will be seen all of a sudden, the people will not be at war all of a sudden, the situation will be brought under control all of a sudden, maybe it's about For someone like me who has not studied the biography of Mandela and the modern history of South Africa, this film is still a bit lacking in depth and detail. After all, biographies are not easy to shoot, and the audience always wants to see something different from the one on Wikipedia. Things come, which requires the director to add a little bit of his own style to the selection of actors and event excerpts.

The film is too scattered, but Mandela’s highlights keep appearing, but it is very spiritual. No matter how the ANC fell into the whirlpool of corruption and populism, Mandela himself, who contributed his life to the abolition of apartheid, deserves respect. .

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.
