Mandela: The Long Walk
to Freedom (2013)
Directed by Justin
Chadwick this film based on Nelson Mandela's autobiography stars
Idris Elba and Naomie Harris. We follow the life of Nelson Mandela
from young boy to President of a free South Africa.
The main problem with
this film is that it tries to show a little bit of everything rather
than showing any of the key moments in any real depth. There are
plenty of parts of Mandela's life that could have been the focus but
get short shrift, for example I would have like to have seen a lot
more on the decision to go from peaceful protest to violence. Idris
Elba is the best thing in this film and gives and impressive
performance in the lead role.
3/5
