I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
... View MoreVery well executed
... View MoreThe movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
... View MoreIt is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
... View Morei don't like the movie i just don't. I hate the plot The story begins in Rwanda where young football know-it-all Dudu Kayenzi is teaching a group of children how to make a football (you need an inflated condom, a carrier bag and a piece of String). Teenager Fabrice longs to pursue his ambition of becoming an association football legend and is seen breaking the local record for the most continuous football kick-ups. When Fabrice is offered the chance to audition for the opening ceremony of the 2010 Football World Cup in South Africa, he sets off for Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda, with his 'manager' Dudu and Dudu's sister Beatrice. Beatrice wishes to become a doctor and find a cure for AIDS in memory of Dudu. Fabrice tries to express his love of football to his mother, but she simply replies "Africa doesen't need dreams, it needs to wake up".so talking about a condom in a kids film not very smart also not a very good ending The team arrive at Beitbridge on the Zimbabwe–South Africa border, where an official insists that they are nothing but refugeees. The security guards take Dudu's ball but again the team works together to retrieve it and continue to Soccer City in Johannesburg for the Cup. Dudu falls ill again and is rushed to the medical facility at the stadium, where he completes his fictional story by saying Fabrice carries the ball God gave to the people of Africa. Except for Dudu, the team carry the ball off into the now roaring crowd. At the end, Dudu is seen walking off into a light, suggesting that he has died of HIV–AIDS.so yes he died and it's just bad so its bad ending stupid plot but good acting well not bad
... View MoreWe all remember the World Cup last year in South Africa. A colourful , noisy event that promised so much but turned out to be a damp squib. That description pretty much sums up Africa United. This film looks great and promises to be a good road movie but it washed over me. It's a film that has far to many stereotype's and is sugar coated to the extent that strangely i wanted to see some real hardship and suffering or even some humour - Vital ingredients in a road movie. - Not a Chance in Africa United. One plus point is the acting of Eriya Ndayambaje who plays Dudu. he certainly has a future in the business. as for the rest I'm not so sure. Disappointing.
... View MoreTalented footballing teenager Fabrice and genial rotund Dudu are friends in the same small Rwandan town, although Fabrice is privileged and Dudu is a shanty dweller. Together with Dudu's younger sister Beatrice they set off for a pre-World Cup trial for Fabrice in Kigali, take the wrong bus, and end up trying to make their own way to the World Cup in South Africa, picking up escaped child terrorist Foreman George and captive teen "waitress" Celeste on the way.This rather slight film doesn't bear examining too closely, or else much of its narrative credibility falls to pieces rather easily. But it doesn't need close examination, because the things which matter about it hold true irrespective of plot holes and logic flaws.At its heart is the various relationships between these kids. The 5 untried child actors are not only all excellent, but are able to clearly show how they, and the various relationships between them, change and grow throughout the film's length. In particular, Yves Dusenge as Foreman George, shows us a good hearted youngster who is haunted by the things he has witnessed and taken part in, and who perhaps gets most benefit (in an understated way) from the growing friendships within the group.Africa is, as always, spectacular. The film successfully shows us both its beauty and something of its ugly underside and, to its credit, it neither shies away nor beats us over the head with it. Issues like AIDS and child terrorism are met matter-of-factly.This small but joyful movie was very welcome because it gave me something rather different to the usual cinema fare, and well rewarded the time I spent in the company of these young African people.
... View MoreAfrica United is a fantastic film that all ages will enjoy. It doesn't shy away from tackling some of the real issues that face the continent, but encapsulates it in a terrific story with great humour (some real laugh out loud moments) and brilliant soundtrack. It not only provides for an excellent and entertaining film but the creativity of the direction and production really makes these issues accessible particularly to a younger audience. The film has received amazing receptions at both the Toronto and BFI film festivals and has been getting great press in the UK as it hits the screens this weekend. In my view it's thoroughly deserved as is its comparisons as the African Slumdog. I'm certainly encouraging everyone I know to go see this great film and hope you will too.
