As the writer below states, the events portrayed in this film are in fact more complex. But this is a movie, and only 114 minutes, and a lot of ground had to be covered.
Even though I read two books about Nelson Mandela, and was inspired seeing him on TV's Oprah, I was still reluctant to rent this film at the low low rate of 50 cents (USD $). What a fool I was to waver - this is an EXCELLENT film because the story is so amazing, and true. Everyone should see it.
Poitier's acting was of course wonderful, and Michael Caine was fine as de Klerk.
I felt good after seeing this film, and it held my attention like a good thriller - even though I knew what was going to happen.
