The cinematography was truly lovely, it's natural colors blended with the story telling so thoroughly, I sat in the dark fascinated by this syncopation. The film has a huge cast, and filming in the African sun, it had to be a difficult.
I loved the talent. Every character was real.
I loved the story --the collision of two cultures at the beginning.
Most of all I love the character of Mister Johnson as portrayed by Maynard Eziashi. His behavior seemed typical of the era. And African villagers seemed so gentle and accepting of foreign intrusion. Maybe it was that way in the beginning.
Joyce Cary wrote a very sweet, sort of tragic story. I wish all films contained this truth, warmth and humanity.
