Members Ann_SS Posted July 19, 2013 Members Share Posted July 19, 2013 I just saw the first major trailer and it gives me the shivers and the scenes with Idris are amazing. The film is already getting Oscar buzz. This movie should make Idris a star. If you haven't read Nelson Mandela's biography, "Long Walk to Freedom" already, you should. It is emotionally uplifting and very funny at times. He has a great sense of humor and is a warm wonderful person. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/mandela-long-walk-freedom-trailer-588629 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChitHappens Posted December 26, 2013 Members Share Posted December 26, 2013 Superb film! Idris became Nelson, and he did a wonderful job. We already know Mandela's story, but IE took us thru the physical journey and I applaud him. As the character aged, they transformed IE to the spitting image of Mandela. It was a sight! However, if I'm going to be honest here and put my lust for Elba aside, Naomie Harris owned the movie as Winnie! She opened her mouth, and "Oscar" repeadetely rolled off her tongue. She gave a powerful performance, and I would have totally gone to see the movie if it were solely about Winnie. My god, this woman was so damn good. She better not be overlooked for an Oscar because her name isn't Jennifer Lawrence, who I've grown positively sick of! But I won't muddy this thread with anymore talk of her. Must see film that didn't miss a beat. ETA: Not sure why Alexisfan wants to slap me for going to see the movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted January 4, 2014 Members Share Posted January 4, 2014 For anyone that saw the J. Hud flick, does it even stack up to LWTF? I'm trying to be fair by not assuming that it pales in comparison to my future ex-hubby's tour-de-force... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
