This film is beautiful and disturbing. I watched this originally as a junior in high school, 15 years ago; it's message has never left me. I give it extremely high accolades.

SummaryGritty realism; a real eye-opener
Content
When you start with a cast that includes Donald Sutherland, Susan Sarandon, Marlon Brando and Jürgen Prochnow, you're bound to come up with a very powerful movie.

When you add in the highly charged issue of Apartheid in South Africa, you absolutely can't miss.

This movie is based in part upon the events of the Soweto Massacre in 1976, a dramatization of which is shown in all-too-graphic detail, and in part on a (I think) fictionalized account of the types of events which occurred during Apartheid.

An excellent performance by all of the major players and a movie well worth viewing -- more than once.

SummaryBrando's great
Content
I didn't watch this when it came out. It was Brando's first film in 10 years, and I thought he'd walk through the part, and be soft. But I just saw it, and he's really great. His part is small. But he deserved the Oscar nomination he got for the performance.
