Movie Reviews of Cry, The Beloved Country
Movie Review: Love is the Answer
Summary: 5 Stars
"Cry, the Beloved Country" is the best book I have read this year, one that I would like to share with all friends and family. First, it is beautifully written and carried me on a journey to South Africa. It can be read on several levels, but what touched me most deeply was the message conveyed through the spirit, that fear is overcome by love--and that love which overcomes comes from God. Though a "secular" classic, this gem should be on the best-seller list in every Christian bookstore in the country. Five stars, and then some.Movie Review: A Moving, Powerful Film
Summary: 5 Stars
(my favorite film in my short lifetime among many good ones)
Cry, The Beloved Country is a triumph of redemption and hope in the face of terrible tragedy. How two men (wonderfully portrayed by screen legends James Earl Jones and Richard Harris) transcend their roles in life and move beyond the faultlines of race and vengeance is a story no one should miss. The country is beautiful, the characters are compelling and the story an invaluable contribution to anyone's understanding of South Africa's troubled past.
Movie Review: A great Film!
Summary: 5 Stars
Easily James Earl Jones' best performance, as he lives through tragedy after tragedy. The force of his faith and his love of his people as he shows us as the main character of the film are startling to see.
The problem of injustice he must endure is Grecian in scope, and it all rests on the fact that these aparteid advocates and practitioners are still human beings.
A film not to be missed, and indeed a book to read as well.
Movie Review: If you liked the book...
Summary: 5 Stars
I am in the process of reading the book on which this movie is based. Usually, reading the book leads you to say, "The book is so much better." Not so with this movie. Yes, the book is fantastic. But reading it has increased my appreciation for the movie even more. Particularly the acting by Jones and Harrison. It is impressive how much emotion and meaning they convey without the aid of a narrator or augmented dialogue.Movie Review: The best movie ever made...
Summary: 5 Stars
James Earl Jones gives a heart wrenching performance and Richard Harris, as always, makes you forget you're watching a movie. You feel like you are getting a sneak peak into the lives of real people, probably because of the universal truths embedded in the story - the truths of heartbreak, disappointment, and, ultimately, restoration and reconciliation. Everyone MUST see this movie.
