Afternoon!
Yesterday my mum and I decided to watch "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom" the movie was absolutely riveting and amazing! Idris Elba portrayed Mr. Nelson Mandela amazingly well, he really created the atmosphere and demeanour of Mr. Nelson Mandela well. Naomie Harris who played Winnie Mandela (Nelson Mandela's wife) portrayed the fighting spirit and determination of Winnie Mandela spot on. I never realised that Winnie Mandela was such a fighter and had a fierce spirit within her, until I had watched the movie. In some way, although I wasn't exposed to Apartheid at all, the movie is able to capture the tension and atmosphere of the environment extremely well. I was born in 1992 and had the privilege of being apart of the free generation. I never experienced the effects of apartheid of which I am immensely thankful of. When I see what oppression was like...it's mind blowing and I'm glad that we're now a nation that embraces every culture. It was ironic that we decided to watch "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom" yesterday and Mr. Nelson Mandela died yesterday. He gave his entire life to South Africa and was the only person in South Africa that I knew of who possessed a great amount of humility and forgiveness towards others. Of course I'm sad, but I feel that although his life was sad and filled with hardships, what he fought for became a reality and he didn't die in vein.
Mr. Nelson Mandela, our former president rest in peace.
