“Power of One”

            Over all, I thought this film was interesting with a good theme and message. The ways that Pk went through some of the scenes in the movie brought out the devotion to end apartheid and courage in him. In the end Pk shows his devotion to end apartheid. The cops come in and start fires and try to kill Pk, but he makes it through everything and lives at the end, so does his boxing friend, Guidean.  Another part of the film that PK shows courage is where he teaches the natives English. He argues with his professor so that he will be able to teach them English. He shows courage because he wants to stand up for what he wants to do.

            Another man I found to be significant throughout the movie was the medicine man. When Pk was imagining the elephant taking him hand he sees this throughout most of the film. This is showing him to be brave and take the chance to see what will happen. Also the medicine man gives him a chicken which represents the courage and braveness in him. To Pk the chicken was his only friends. He uses the chicken to keep away all he mean people at the boarding school, then they kill the chicken and he is unhappy because it was his friend.

Throughout the film I enjoyed many scenes but some of my favorite parts of the movie were when Pk was taught boxing by Geel Piet, and how he used this skill thought the film to get him through tough situations. Some examples of tough situations he went through were when his family was dying, Maria dies, and Geel Piet passed away. Through all the situations he did he had courage and fought his way through the battles and at the end he lived, along with Guidean Duma.
