romance, comedy, and carnage! Sheckley has rarely been funnier, and yet as time goes on his near -future world seems ever closer, and it's very unsettling to read this and wonder if deep down we may not already be there. (less than 5 years ago, a british newspaper found 52% of those surveyed would commit murder if they could get away with it...)NOT TO BE MISSED! like the best of the best sci-fi, it entertains while asking some disturbing questions about who we are and what future we'll make.

When I first saw Cry Freedom it was as an assignment forced to us by by History teacher. I thought of it as a way to escape writing essays. But when I began watching, I became completely immersed in the movie. Denzel Washington portrayed Steve Biko with such accuracy, it gave me chills. I loved it and I would recommend it to anyone that wants to have a better opinion of apartheid and about Steve Biko's life and about Donald Woods. It was the greatest biographical movie I have EVER seen. It not only was interesting but it was a great source of learning. Even though I am 14, I enjoyed this movie very much.

Whether it is historically incorrect or not the story of this movie was more than moving. Denzel Washington fits so well into
the characters shoes which is Stephen Biko. Biko was a black man, an ambitious,envious personality who opposed then south african government and became a I-don't-care anti-apartheid activist. Biko is more than lucky to have a friend, a white man who is conscious and empathic journalist, Donald Woods, and who stands behind all Biko's activities and by this Biko gained more popularity.Anyways it doesn't take long for the south african government to get rido of Biko forever and it is then when the white man D.Woods has to sacrifice his beautiful life in South Africa in order to reveal the truth to the world about Biko's murder.

A great movie by all means. Biko and Woods are two people that I'll never forget for their brave hearts.

In World Studies class we have been studying South Africa, basically through the accounts of others and through out textbook. We finished the book Cry the Beloved Country by Alan Paton, and began to watch Cry Freedom. All I knew when we started the movie was that it was about Steven Biko. The movie was honestly one of the best I've ever seen. It was well written, and the actors were great. It's really worth seeing if you were or are unaware of the system in South Africa. It's really a great movie, and I'd reccommend it to anyone.
