1. Who is your favorite character from the film? My favorite character is by far Mandela. I don't like most of the characters because they are too stereotyped and plain. I pick Mandela because I just love Morgan Freeman 2. How does this film compare to all the other films we have seen in class? This movie is the one that shows the less violence, and because of this it's not faithful to South Africa's history. The film simplifies what happened in order to make a movie that would be Hollywood worth. 3. Would you considered this film a educative film and would you recommend it to someone? Why/Why Not? I think it is not educative, the conflict is sugar coated. I wouldn't recommend it because we watched a lot of films that were a lot more educative. I also wouldn't recommend it to someone that's just learning about the apartheid because it doesn't show much of the conflict and it doesn't explain much of the history.
1. In general, what did you like and dislike about the film? I really enjoyed the movie, I think what I liked the most was how journalism (and photojournalism) took place in the war which as a future journalist is something that I always like to see. I'm not sure how I feel about the characters (the photographers), I liked that they were very flawed individuals who caught themselves involved in the situation and didn't know what to do, the movie doesn't potrayed them as heroes in any kind of way. What I didn't like about the movie was the fact that the principal characters were all white. 2. How does the film make you think about your future role as journalists and film makers/producers/creators/directors? As a future journalist it forced me to put myself in their position deciding if to take a photo or no, or even as an editor to print an explicit photo or not which is and ongoing conversation in journalism. 3. In this film, and various of the other films,
