I’m not really into biopics; they’re usually just so sappy, heavy-handed, and one-sided. Whoever is making the film idolizes the hero of the story, making the biography come across as worship. But I guess if I want facts I could just watch a documentary on Mandela, but that would be really boring. So I don’t know, maybe an over-dramatic take is better than an ultra-realistic take.
