How deep does the movie go into the issue of treason and betrayal by FW de Klerk and other National Party members? --41.16.113.1 (talk) 17:22, 29 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

1) You'll have to watch the movie for yourself to satisfy your prejudged claim. 2) This movie is about the talks initiated by Michael Young, so P.W. Botha, F.W. de Klerk & Nelson Mandela are truly only supporting roles in this production, de Klerk character could even be described as a bit portrayal in this story.

3) Random bit, no matter what your politics, I'd suggest watch the film for the directing. Pete Travis does a very nice subtle job of expressing the possible explosiveness of the times. You learn what you just witnessed about Albie Sachs by a headline in a paper. At the opening credits or in a point of tension, there are guitar chords overlay on other score music that kind of remind me of Pink Floyd's "Run Like Hell," but faint. So he adds drama, without I think going into fiction, which I think is hard to do. I'd recommend you watch it for those reasons as well. 71.114.44.6 (talk) 20:04, 21 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
