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.
