Reading out my written review for In My Country
Written Review:
This movie gripes you in and doesn’t let you go throughout the film, and tales the sad tale of true events while it has you in its grasp. While the characters are based on real life people, The Truth and Reconciliation Commission actually happened, and the stories told from the people reflect some of what was told during this.
The story is an emotional journey through the traumatic events that happened to the poor people in South Africa before Nelson Mandela took power. It also about how these events effect the three central characters, who are reporters taking account the reconciliation events. As cliché as it is, Africa is a character on itself. From the beautiful landscapes and stars, while at the same time being horrifying since this is where all these events have taken place in.
With Samuel L. Jackson as one of the three main cast members, naturally the acting is going to be great. The emotional moments are pulled off by all these characters, and you felt what they were feeling throughout the movie, and this really adds to the picture.
Throughout the movie you hear just a small score of a piano being played, and this just adds to the helplessness the characters and the audience are feeling. You also have chants and hymens that the South Africans are singing thought the movie, and this adds to the spirit of Ubuntu and how the effected people of South Africa are feeling.
With the special features, they interview a chunk of the cast members (sorry no Samuel L. Jackson interview), and how this story effected them and what they choose to add to the story. It also has deleted scenes that were taken out for pacing reasons, but I feel like it could have easily been added to the movie, so it’s worth a watch through. You also have your typical Directors commentary that talks about how the movie was made and what not.
Overall I say defiantly see this movie today, it’s a gripping tale of the atrocities that happened in South Africa and how it affects everyone.
