El Enzo's things reviews

1. In general, what did you like and dislike about the film? I think the movie was very good in many ways, but I couldn't really enjoy it. It is mainly because of the characters, that weren't likeable to me. I saw most of them as opportunist people who didn't really care about others, and only of the ways they could profit with them.

I think it was really good from his part to go see Biko and his part of the story, and not sending one of his workers for it. Also, how their relationship is developed, from having different ideas to close friends, is amazing.

He was just cute.  2. What was your favorite scene from the film? Why? I must say that I really enjoyed the scene in the court, when Biko talked about black and white poeple, how whites have always made the greatest discoveries and inventions, and that m...
