1. Who was your favorite character from the film? Why?
For me, the best character was Steve Biko , because he represented differents ways to fight agains apartheid. I like the fact that South Africa's movements against racism and apartheid inspired itselves from Black Panther party. Everything is conected. I also liked the fact that Biko knew that armed struggle was necesary, but he didn´t practice that, so Biko you are cool.
2. What was your favorite scene from the film? Why?
I think my favorite scene was when Woods went to morgue and saw Biko's body. It was intense. Also I like when Woods and his wife, Wendy argued on that beach, I could imagine myself in that situation, like a beloved persons for you has to make a hard decision, but you don't like it.
3. How does the film differ from the other films? Use the article from The Guardian to help you
I think the main difference is when the movie was filmed. For me that factor make a huge change. As we said it in class, when Cry Freedom was filmed apartheid in South Africa didn't ended yet. So this film was more political than the other ones, it was like "people this shit is happening in this moment, open your eyes".

Catch a Fire
1. In general, what did you like and dislike about the film?
I like the fact that the movie ain't about Mandela's struggle or his life. I know that Mandela was the most relevant person on this fight, but I also think that we have to know other names, like Patrick Chamusso, Winnie Mandela or Samora Machel.
As always I love the black culture in the movie, I love the music and I love when they talk in other languages. I also like the relation between Chamusso and the little kids who played football.
I think it's my favorite movie too, I can't say what I didn't like.
2. Who was the character you like the most and the character you liked the least in the film? Why?
For me, the best character was Chamusso, I said it before I liked the relation between he and the kids, but I have to accept the fact that he was a horrible husband.
The worst character, well is obvious, Nic Voss, oh how I hated that man. But I liked the fact that he created his "worst" enemy, when he got Patrick in jail.
3. What was the role of Samora Machel, the FRELIMO, and revolutionary Mozambique in the struggle against the South African apartheid? Use examples from the film and the biography of Samora Machel
Machel was important because he could liberate Mozambique from the portuguese people, when he liberated his country he helped other nation in the armed struggle against apartheid, like South Africa.
With his help, other nations who were fighting agains apartheid could organize itselves, in Mozambique's territory.

GoodBye Bafana (sorry hehehe)
Hi teacher, sorry but I just remember my password. So, sorry again
Here is my review
1. In general, what did you like and dislike about the film?
For me, what I liked the most as alway, is the music in the film, I love when characters sings in other language and also I like that you can understand nothing about what are they singing but you can feel what are they singing. But not everything is gold I don't like the fact that this James Gregory is like "the good guy" and I don´t think so.
2. Who was the character you liked the most and the character you liked the least in the film? Why?
I don't remember many characters because I watched this film long time ago hahaha, but as I said earlier I didn't like James Gregory's character, also I hated his wife (I don't remember her name).
3. How do the versions of James Gregory, Nelson Mandela, and Winnie Mandela compare between Goodbye Bafana and Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom?
I think GoodBye Bafana's version of James Gregory was more complete, obviously because he was the main character. Also I remember phisical diferences between that two versions of Gregory, Bafana's version was thinner.
In the case of Mandela, I prefer Long Walk to Freedom's version, It's deeper than the other one and for me Idris Elba did a better role.
Winnie Mandela was a lot more important in Long Walk to Freedom, it was a very revolutionary woman with a huge role in the film, as Mandela's wife but also as a leader.
