I watched "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom" last night and just want to correct some of the previous reviews on IMDb.com for this movie.
First of all, this film is not Academy Award worthy...I really wonder what award other reviewers think it deserves.
The acting was over the top, the makeup was amateurish (the Mandela character had gray hairs in different parts of his head from different camera angles and scenes from the same time period). I guess the talcum powder must of moved during breaks.
Editing was awful, in the first 60 minutes it was almost impossible to keep track of what time period it was suppose to be. One minute Mandela is a child, then in a few seconds he is suppose to be an accomplished attorney trying a case.
From what I have read and researched about Mandela, this movie portrays him as a worldwide respected leader and the real facts are 180 degrees the other way. The truth is that he was sent to prison for valid crimes he committed.
Hollywood has an agenda....to keep black's hatred of whites in the forefront because it sells tickets, and this movie is just another cash cow for the Hollywood moguls.
Don't bother paying to see this propaganda....research the real Mandela for yourself.
