Film Review of Invictus

1. Who is your favorite character from the film?

 Most of the time, the main characters are people's favorites, and that's exactly what happened with me haha. I love how Morgan Freeman interprets Mandela, they have a spectacular resemblance, but my favorite was Francois because in him it's observed how his mentality is changing, just like the people, and in the same way he changes the racist mentality that had his own family. The gesture of giving her maid an entrance to watch the game was the key to demonstrating this. And I also like how he strives to integrate himself and his teammates with the people, whether black or white (but especially black).

2.  How does this film compare to all the other films we have seen in class?

 Although this film also touches some issues about apartheid, I think it doesn't belong much to this category, rather it's a Hollywood movie that was simply located in South Africa. I mean I like the way they try to unite the people after Mandela is named president, who want a multicultural nation with the same rights and freedoms for all, however, this film focuses on the "problems" that the whites have (which is basically playing well rugby and winning the cup), but they don't show practically anything of the real problems that the black people were still going through, since although they changed a little, they still have problems because Mandela is just now in the power.

3. Would you considered this film a educative film and would you recommend it to someone? Why/Why Not?

 If a person is interested in having knowledge about the history of apartheid in South Africa, sincerely I wouldn't recommend this movie, I would recommend any other that we have seen previously. Simply because I don't find that there is anything educational about that topic, however, if a person wants to learn about the history of South African rugby, this would be a movie that I would recommend.

1. In general, what did you like and dislike about the film? Something that surprised me every time was the level of explicit violence that they showed in the movie, as when they killed the enemies with knives / machetes and even set them on fire while still alive. But, the best part for me was when  the old black man told the story  of when they were being attacked ; he was in his mother's house with his son, he heard that the whites were giving them orders not to talk and just shoot, then he went to see how his wife was to finally find her lying on the floor with her intestines out of her body, then went to see his baby and realized they had murdered his three-month-old son.  I think that his story was very moving. Something that I didn't like were the characters. It bothered me that they were white people with privileges even when they were mixed with the blacks. And  I couldn't sympathize really with any of them. 2.  How does the film make y...

Film Review of Catch a Fire

1. In general, what did you like and dislike about the film? This movie was very different from the previous ones mainly because it's about normal people, and that's one of the things I liked the most.  We can observe a black man having a normal life, where it's shows that he is being educated next to white men (even if he's sitting at the end of the room). The scenography or setting was also something that I liked and I noticed too much. There was a big difference between the dwellings of the whites and the blacks, since in the first one you see everything green and with water to spare, while that of the others is completely dry and brown. In addition, whenever the whites did an outdoor activity, we see industries, or the plant actually, in the background. And, finally, the scene that I liked the most was when they made a comparison of the singing. The whites sang celebrating the genocide they had committed and gave them recognition medals, while the blacks sang...
