Movie Reviews of Cry Freedom
Movie Review: Other DVD I can't see
Summary: 3 Stars
This another DVD I cannot see with my DVD player. In this case, I have no idea about what is going on.Movie Review: Freedomn for South Africans
Summary: 3 Stars
This is an interesting historical movie about the struggle for freedom of blacks in Africa.Movie Review: Poor Delivery Service
Summary: 2 Stars
I paid for this DVD to be shipped within two days. It did not arrive on the day it was supposed to. UPS delivered it to the wrong address. Very disappointed in the way in which it was handled both by UPS and Amazon.Movie Review: Cry Freedom commits an apartheid of its own
Summary: 1 Stars
I always found it ironic that "Cry Freedom," while it's supposed to be about the inhumanity, ignorance and hate behind apartheid, it commits its own apartheid by making Steven Biko play second fiddle in what should be his story/film. Instead, as Hollywood filmmakers often do, it makes the minority character a bystander in what should be his/her own story, and pushes a white character into the lead. Like "Mississippi Burning," which basically shows us how two white characters singlehandedly kept the Civil Rights movement alive, "Cry Freedom" shows us how a white journalist battles apartheid. By far, Denzel Washington's portrayal of Biko is outstanding, the best performance here. He receives a four star, but the director and the film receive less than a one star for committing its own apartheid, pushing a minority to the back of the bus -- and unfortunately, Hollywood continues to do this -- just go see the implausibility that is "Last Samurai."Movie Review: pretty boring
Summary: 1 Stars
I had to watch this movie for a History Project. My teacher made it sound inspiring and dramatic. Maybe it was, but it's hard to know when it makes you fall asleep after 10 minutes. Look elsewhere buddy.
