Review of Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom (2013) by Serge L — 07 Nov 2015

The story based on an exceptional story, is nicely put in cinema. It has the feel of a cliff notes though by keeping the pace a bit too rapid and superficial. This is an epic adventure of humanity. I must underline that both the whites and the blacks had one trump card to avert disaster and they both kept it alive by luck and by will.

This card was Mandela, of course. We get to understand the silliness and insanity of racism. And I mean white/black, white/white, or black/black racisms. This may extend to nationalism, religiousisms, or other isms that separate groups.
