Cry Freedom Review

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".
