 A recent release centered around two young white men trying to help racial equality in South Africa during apartheid. They are arrested and tried. Both receive long sentences and the story focuses on their time in prison. A film with lots of drama. Based on a true story/characters.
Netflix disc.

 anger? Did it play your emotions?

 

Is that what you would look forward to in a film? :) NT, posted on January 20, 2021 at 20:00:43

 I didn't find it overbearing, but knowing your prejudices I would not recommend you see it.

 Never. Next question, do some movies make you feel guilty or angry? I don't expect an answer to this either. Just curious why you asked these things about a film. I haven't seen the film and don't know anything about it.

 

Like pretty much all Eastwood's last four or five? nt, posted on January 22, 2021 at 09:19:37

 Social Justice. I wouldn't touch it with your eyeballs. No, film rarely gets me mad. Maybe a well-done documentary but I try to avoid anything with a provocative title that intends to elicit a response.

 

I have no prejudices. The truth often throws people back. *, posted on January 22, 2021 at 11:44:54

 I bet BlacKkKlansman sent you into convulsions.

 I really love it! The acting of Daniel Radcliff is so impressive, the tense that you feel during the whole movie is something!

 I am glad no bias like the the other guy didn't keep you from seeing it. Lots of tension. I was not sure they would make it.
