Movie Reviews of Bopha!
Movie Review: What is civilization and where does it end?
Summary: 4 Stars
Today apartheid is a broken system, but to end it blood flowed in the streets... The blacks have spent many centuries as the prey
to both eastern and western predatory practices. The Moslim
slave traders were there before the Christians.
That the Dutch heritage settlers with their Afrikaans sought to hold onto
a "special" place above those whose land it really was
seems to show why movies like this were necessary.
Son against father and death stalking the township streets
makes this a movie that has impact even after the fact.
Danny Glover acts very well in this movie.
Summary of Bopha!
In his directorial debut, actor Morgan Freeman cast a knowing eye on the ways the racist apartheid movement in South Africa--now demolished--divided South African blacks even from each other in this story of a black policeman. Danny Glover plays the cop, who believes he's trying to help his people, even while serving as a pawn of the racist government. When his son gets involved in the antiapartheid movement, he finds himself torn between his family (including long-suffering wife Alfre Woodard) and what he believes is his duty. A sorrowful, anger-tinged film featuring a complex performance by the marvelous Glover, who seems to come apart at the seams before your very eyes. --Marshall FineDrama DVD Video
