Catch a Fire

1. In general, what did you like and dislike about the film?


first of all, I loved the locations and the production, after several related movies I have been familiarizing with the scenarios, the houses, or the detail of the fire truck, it is that kind of things that generate a coherent reality.
I like the way in which the character is built, although we know that it is based on the real life of Chamusso, the plot is built in a great way, the protagonist's refusal to enter the conflict and his call to fight is something powerful to see. I like the development of the characters and the scenes of torture or the persecution in the factory are really intense.

 2. Who was the character you like the most and the character you liked the least in the film? Why?
My favorite character was Nic Vos, you always need a good antagonist character, in this case, without Nic there is no story, because thanks to their actions are those that move the motivations of the protagonists. c
In this film I do not have a character that was so out of keeping with me as to think negatively, but I could talk positively about Chamusso, I love his narrative arc, his interpretation and I like that one can already make an image among all the films.  .. I would call it the MCU the Mandela Cinematographic Universe.

3. What was the role of Samora Machel, the FRELIMO, and revolutionary Mozambique in the struggle against the South African apartheid? Use examples from the film and the biography of Samora Machel
He was a fighter for the struggle against the racism, he was involved in the FRELIMO where he becomes a commander. Also was the first Mozambique president, he supported and allowed revolutionaries fighting white minority regimes in Rhodesia and South Africa to operate within Mozambique.

1. In general, what did you like and dislike about the film? Usually when I see Idris Elba is in a action movie, like The dark tower or Thor, so, at the beginning was weird to me see him in a political role, but I have to admit that He really surprised to me. I only see the Nelson Mandela character in the movie with Morgan Freeman, so I thought that Mandela was always a peaceful leader, see him like a real person, feeling anger, with radical strategies makes me think about the authenticity in every character, in the real life people isn't perfect, I really love the journey of the character to become the real leader of a divided country. 2. In your own words, how would you compare the "various Mandelas;" the ones from the article and the one from the film? I imagine that when you becomes a public figure, you never be yourself again, when o many people believes in you, is it common that you doesn't show you real face. I don´t think that a "real Nelson Mand...

1. Who was your favorite character from the film? Why? My favorite character was the old man who lived near the border, his old car was very funny and without him our hero would not have been able to escape. I also liked the character of Woods, I think that although, as in many other movies with racial themes, the character seems to claim the whites, it is difficult to realize your privileges and do something about it. Putting your family, your position, your own life at risk to change the situation seems to me to be a truly altruistic act. 2. What was your favorite scene from the film? Why? My favorite scene was the final chase, the cleverness that shows Woods and his family, his disguise as a priest, the tension that our protagonists do not manage to flee, was exciting. I also liked Biko's funeral, the contrast between his miserable death and his funeral as a martyr of the revolution. 3. How does the film differ from the other films?  Use the article from The Guardian t...
