Movie Reviews of Cry, The Beloved CountryMovie Review: Amazing Film Summary: 5 StarsI have seen this movie out there for a decade now and kept meaning to see it. The opportunity presented itself this Memorial Day weekend, so I took it. The story is set in the mid 1940s in South Africa. A priest is on a quest to find his long lost son. It seemed that everyone was getting lost in South Africa back then - hopefully they are better at keeping track of people now that we have email and cell phones.
Great movie - heavyweight actors James Earl Jones and Richard Harris turn in great performances. The movie delivers solid messages on racism, forgiveness and family. Highly recommend.
Summary of Cry, The Beloved CountryAnti-apartheid story about a black man in South Africa charged with the killing of a white who had devoted his life to justice for the blacks. The parents of these two work to find the truth. Genre: Feature Film-Drama Rating: PG13 Release Date: 25-JAN-2005 Media Type: DVD This moving 1995 adaptation of Alan Paton's celebrated novel stars James Earl Jones as a beloved, rural minister in South Africa who makes his first trip to Johannesburg in search of his son. The latter's destiny has been linked with that of a doomed, young white man, whose racist father (Richard Harris) is approached by Jones's character in the spirit of mutual understanding. Directed by Darrell James Roodt (Sarafina!), the film is most powerful in those scenes featuring Harris and Jones together, though early sequences grounded in the hard life and times of Jones's community are colorful and dramatic. It's impossible not to be touched by the cautious but real connection made between the principal characters and by the moral authenticity of the actors. --Tom Keogh
