Mandela

I cannot even describe the feeling I get inside when I watch this trailer. I've seen "Sometimes in April" so I know that Idris has what it takes to own this kind of role. And although I cannot imagine what an overwhelming undertaking it was for him to play such a giant, I can already see that he has taken this project to soaring heights. If a movie trailer is a promise of what it will deliver as a feature than this one is going to be history making. I have been waiting for so long for Idris to be offered the lead role in a film with weight and guts and heart and vulnerability, all of which he has in spades as a performer. I am so looking forward to this. I kind of want to see it with a large group of people, friends and family that I love. This has to be one of those kinds of film pilgrimages like when my High School took us to see Malcolm X and Schindler's list.
