Film Review: "Catch a Fire"

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

To be honest, I didnt like much this film. I like the Patrick Chamusso's story, but I dont think this film was good enough to tell us that story. I think that  the script was over simplified, worried to tell us the story step by step, but dont try to surprise us. I didn't like the cinematography, it felt a little disorganized, and I think the film was over musicalized. And what more upseted me, was the film editing. It was to weird, almost randomly.


2.-Who was the character you like the most and the character you liked the least in the film?

The character I liked the most was Chamusso. I really like his story, I just feel the movie didn't do a great job portraying it. Chamusso had a great character development, and show us the change of mentality of many south africans who joined the fight against the apartheid. He's not a fighter, he becomes one. And that the interesting in the movie, the transofrmation into something that helps this revolution. And I dont know if there is a character I liked the least, but besides the actors behind Chamusso and NIc Vos, I didnt like much the performance of the other characters.


3.- What was the rolf of Samor Machel, the FRELIMO, and revolutionary mozambique in the struggle against the South African apartheid? Use examples of the film and the biography of Samora Machel.

Machel and the FRELIMO were a big support to the South African revolution, because they landed a hand to the south african revolutionaries, even trained some of them, in order to form better revolutionaries focus and fight back the racism in his country. The war against the apartheid needed allies, and they were some of them.
