Goodbye, Mr James Grogery

Not bad, really good. Friendship between blacks and whites. In fact, under the circumstances at the time, it was really not an easy thing to be a good guard for Mandela, and he had to worry about the safety of his family and his own life at any time. When I watched it, I watched it carefully, for fear that a bomb would come accidentally, which would make people nervous. Strongly recommend checking it out. But personally I think it's still not quite in place. Of course, it's not the acting problem, but the plot of the story can be done better. There is still room for improvement.

[last lines]
Newscaster: Mr. Mandela, the man who has been in prison for nearly three decades, will be appearing in public for the first time any moment now... There is Mr. Mandela, Mr. Nelson Mandela, a free man, taking his first steps into a new South-Africa...
James Gregory: [in front of TV, reading from the 'Freedom Charter'] "There shall be peace and friendship. And all who love their people and their country shall say, as we say here: These freedoms we will fight for, side by side, throughout our lives, until we have won our liberty."
Newscaster: That is the man the world has been waiting to see, walking strongly, step by step further into freedom.
Subtitle: Four years later, in 1994, Nelson Mandela became the first democratically elected president of South-Africa.
