Rating: Summary: The best film I have seen in a LONG time. Review: When I first saw Cry Freedom it was as an assignment forced to us by by History teacher. I thought of it as a way to escape writing essays. But when I began watching, I became completely immersed in the movie. Denzel Washington portrayed Steve Biko with such accuracy, it gave me chills. I loved it and I would recommend it to anyone that wants to have a better opinion of apartheid and about Steve Biko's life and about Donald Woods. It was the greatest biographical movie I have EVER seen. It not only was interesting but it was a great source of learning. Even though I am 14, I enjoyed this movie very much.
Rating: Summary: The movie that changed my life Review: When I first saw this movie it changed my life. It's a great story about total terror and about beliefs worth dying for. One can not stop to be amazed about the fact that this happend so reasently. My advise is to watch this movie not once but several times and remember it.
Rating: Summary: Cry Freedom Review: Whether it is historically incorrect or not the story of this movie was more than moving. Denzel Washington fits so well into the characters shoes which is Stephen Biko. Biko was a black man, an ambitious,envious personality who opposed then south african government and became a I-don't-care anti-apartheid activist. Biko is more than lucky to have a friend, a white man who is conscious and empathic journalist, Donald Woods, and who stands behind all Biko's activities and by this Biko gained more popularity.Anyways it doesn't take long for the south african government to get rido of Biko forever and it is then when the white man D.Woods has to sacrifice his beautiful life in South Africa in order to reveal the truth to the world about Biko's murder. A great movie by all means. Biko and Woods are two people that I'll never forget for their brave hearts.
