Movie Reviews of Mandela and de Klerk
Movie Review: Mandela's South Africa...
Summary: 4 Stars
Although the movie gave me great insight into the turbulent times of the struggle of aparthied, I wish the movie could have done more to portray the multilayered conflicts that surrounded race relations in South Africa during this time. I also felt as if the ending could have continued into what Mandela did next after becoming President of South Africa.
Summary of Mandela and de Klerk
Mandela & De Klerk was filmed in South Africa. Most of the locations are those where the actual events took place, and the dramatized sequences are augmented with newsreel footage to ensure the most accurate portrayal possible of recent historical events.Sidney Poitier and Michael Caine both received Emmy nominations for their performances in this made-for-TV movie. The plot follows Nelson Mandela's 27-year struggle to end apartheid. That segregation was abolished without bloodshed also had much to do with the political maneuverings of South African President F.W. de Klerk, played with convincing and tired resolution by Caine. Poitier plays the more powerful personality, and shines as the self-assured leader. Filmed in Cape Town, this extremely talky and sometimes static film is intriguing as a historical study. As a drama, it is a bit dry. --Rochelle O'Gorman
