MCT:August 17, 2008Very intense story about a boy's desire to inflict change in South Africa. Beautiful music, scenery and compelling acting.

For class. There's a reason I show it. It has to be that good if I'm wiling to watch five times over three days.
-
MCT:April 19, 2008Being an aquaintance of multiple South Africans, I found this movie very interesting. It is a captivating drama that I enjoyed watching. Luckily, I had an African handy to translate everything.

This is a brilliant movie that will move you from the beginning to the end.
*I'm shocked that Daniel Craig was in this, I've got to watch it again just so I catch it!* -
MCT:March 2, 2008Read the book. I have never come across someone who didn't think it was brillliant. However if you love the book avoid the movie.

"Changes can come from the power of many, but only when the many come together to form that which is invincible... the power of one."

Another uplifting tale, beauitfully shot and develops over a number of years. I thought it was up there with the Shawshank redemption as a talke of heroism against the odds, but I'm sure it had something to do with the fact that Morgan Freeman was in both - and with 'Unforgiven' he really has been in some of the best movies ever. classic

MCT:November 21, 2007This is a story of Apartheid. I have this film on VHS, which I almost never watch, so I have not seen it in a long while, but I have a memory of it being very powerful.

this is the first movie I had ever seen Stephen Dorff act in and man I loved it. The soundtrack is fantastic, played at the right time of a scene and it just rips at your heartstrings with its intensity

I really enjoyed this movie it probably isn't worth the four star rating but I loved it. I hear that it can't compare to the book, I hope I can find the book somewhere and see for myself.
There are some excellent actors in this film and others that are not as accomplished, but I find the story very evocatve. The music(ahem... Han Zimmer) was glorious to listen to it made me want to get up out of my seat and dance or run.
I think this is an important story that focuses on a subject that sadly gets overlooked. In the face of disappointment, heart ache, prejudice and senseless cruelty the Power of One can triumph! -

Been one of my absolute favorite movies since I was 14!! Plus you can't go wrong with any movie that has Morgan Freeman in it.

Powerful true story of a White South African boy who knows nothing but love for the blacks, but is living under the thumb of racial naziism pre-WWII. The film takes us through his own bullying as a child to living in a German prison camp during his adolescence to fighting for the rights of black South Africans, while in love with German Commandant's daughter in early manhood. Great performances by all, particularly Stephen Dorff and Morgan Freeman.

this movie as alot of good in it..in terms of ideas and themes..but the book is better..i guess because film can't compare to the power of imagination..but yeah overall this is a mean movie..

Inspiring. Poor PK starts life with more problems than kids with cancer at the neverland ranch, yet fights through it all to get ultimately......nowhere. He remains optimistic despite his many hardships, and thats very encouraging.
Justins Best Bit: PK giving his old bully a well deserved flogging. -

Interesting movie. I've liked this movie ever since I was small. It is a nice movie to watch about how the concept of race was in those days. The issues show in this movie are still ongoing today. If you haven't seen, yet alone heard of this movie, then find it, watch it and learn from it.

A movie with strong passion to believe in something. Powerful til the end. One of the movies that made me want to go to Africa and still do today!

I have seen this film many times because it was my youngest brother's favorite film growing up. Not a bad film but I don't see what had him so obsessed with it.

I loved this movie (probably watched it because of Stephen Dorff), but the movie was so powerful, I got the books and got them signed by Bryce. One of my prized possessions today.

Wow! i I never thought i would rate this one over here!! Well im gonna be honest i watched this one when i was 7 years old or something like it so some scenes really shock me , but its a good one. Now that ive watched more times i think i can rate different, this one its a non racist, almost cut your throat drama that ends with a very reflexive message.

Most people I know haven't even heard of this one... What a shame! A powerful drama with an important message! I borrowed it from the library to watch with my son & we were both blown away!
