Movie Reviews of Cry, The Beloved Country

Movie Review: This is a very moving story!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a story of different races in Africa and how the people deal with them. Different positions dictate what you are allowed to do. The Father reminds me of Job in the Old Testament of the Bible....it seemed as though he was getting slapped with disappointment after disappointment and yet he perseviered to the goal. A tremendous story!

Movie Review: Beautiful, sad, and moving. Superb.
Summary: 5 Stars

Great story, beautifully shot and superbly acted. Alan Paton's sorrowful but ultimately hopeful story of race, faith, suffering, and redemption. My favorite performances by both Richard Harris and James Earl Jones. Themes of forgiveness, human frailty, personal responsibility, and courage. Great, simply great.

Movie Review: Uplifting
Summary: 5 Stars

Powerful period piece on apartheid, but also includes the heartaches between fathers and sons. When a black preacher's son is accused of killing a white man's son, emotions erupt and surprising resolutions occur. This is a spiritually uplifting film on forgiveness, the power of faith and compassion.

Movie Review: Visual Aid for Discussing book
Summary: 5 Stars

The film follows the book extremely well. Minor changes do not affect the author's purpose. Emotional performances by recognizable actors such as Jones and Harris are appealing to current audiences. The film makes thoughtful discussion easier than simply reading and discussing Paton's novel.

Movie Review: THIS MADE ME CRY
Summary: 5 Stars

A marvelous story of courage, boldness, fearlesness, and forgiveness... All attributes of Jesus and His Kingdom on earth... first class actors and first class acting...will watch over and over... great for family time and lessons in living.
