In the movie “The Power of One”, there were a lot of good things that I liked and some bad things that I didn't like.

     What I liked about the movie was the great story and message that it told. It had a good representation of the different point of views that people had during that time and event. It was really realistic in the way that it showed all the injustices that occurred throughout the movie, and what actually happened, it shed light on the struggle for freedom and how wrong the Africans were treated while they were being colonized.

    Another thing I liked about the movie were the characters. My favorite character would have to be P.K. Throughout the movie he showed tons of bravery and courage. He went against laws to help the Africans learn how to read and write English, he brought hope to them and brought them together. Just like Geel Piet said. He risked his life, and other people’s lives for a better cause. My second favorite character is Guideon Duma because is very determined and like P.K, risks the life of himself and his friends for something he strongly believed in.

     What I didn't like about the movie was how sad it was. It would be good, and then something would go wrong. Over and over again just once you thought nothing could get worse. One of my least favorite parts of the movie was when the chicken died. The chicken was the only good thing at the school where almost everyone bullied P.K and it was killed. Although the way the officers acted was realistic to how they use to in the prison camps, I still didn't like them. Especially Sergeant Bormann, the one who killed Geel Piet.

     Overall, I really enjoyed this movie and it would definitely be something I would watch again.
