i purchased this for classroom use, along with the reading of the novel. high school seniors enjoy talking about the universal themes in the book, but do not like the book. hoping the movie would elevate their interest, i showed it prior to finishing the book. they said that it just is NOT interesting. i, the teacher, love it!!!!Movie Review: Well-meaning but not very good
Summary: 3 Stars
The Bottom Line:
You can't fault the creators of 1995's Cry, the Beloved Country for what they wanted to do, but you can most assuredly point out that many aspects of the movie don't work--the ham-fisted dialogue which sounds like it was ripped from the King James Bible, the thundering speeches which take the place of character interaction, the slow pace--and deduce that Cry the Beloved Country probably isn't worth your time.
2.5/4
Movie Review: Try to buy the original version!
Summary: 1 Stars
This version of this very beautiful story is totally ruined by explanations! It constantly explains what apartheid in South Africa was all about - as though the viewer was born yesterday! Talk about hitting the viewer over the head! Pathetic! Do yourself a favor and don't buy this version. If you can't find the orignal, read the book! Margaret
