December 09 Goodbye BafanaIt is not a big work, South African accent and the story looks a little boring. Just a long watery story between a turnkey and his prisoner. Even the name of the prisoner is Nelson Mandela, I prefer to think he is a normal man.
What I like in this movie is those things beyond the story itself, is the spirit of a normal real person, or we can call it has another name, great man. What is the spirit concretely? I think the first and also the most important is stand the redline of a real person in your own heart. Why Mandela is a great man, and why James looks so nice in the bloody system of South Africa? All because they fight for the redline in they heart, Mandela's redline was every one is free and fair, James' redline is every one is a man. But most of us, why we are so small, why we are looks so dirty sometimes? That is because, sometimes we trade our heart with devil for some self-interest. We are not god, nobody can say that I have never trade with devil in my life, I am sure. But what I want to say is, at least, when you know you are trading your heart, stop those. I know it maybe painful, Mandela paid the best time of his life in prison and his son for stoping the trade, James paid his high position and money for stopping the trade. But after those pains, we are a human being at least. Why we exist in the world? I think is not just for ourselves. Maybe I can not be a hero to save the world, I can not be a great man to make the whole world better, but I will try to make the people around me, the people who love me, happy. And even tomorrow is the end of the world, the next second I would leave the world, I would also try to do something for them and make them have a better. Mandela do this for all the people of South Africa, I think I could do this for the people who care and love me. |
