DVD Reviews of Lumumba (English-dubbed)
DVD Review: a tapestery of lies
Summary: 1 Stars
Raoul Peck seems to be have been troubled by the facts of his subjects life so he made up his own. This film is basically untruth from beginning to end. Its wishful thinking and self-deception as history.
Patrice Lumumba became a mythological figure in death that the real man doesn't live up to. Lumumba was a congolese politician who was handed power by the departing belgians and within days had destroyed the country. In succession, he triggered an army mutiny which he then tried to suppress by an open appeal to racial violence and when that didn't work, he called in a multinational force whose members then set about buying groups of politicians. Lumumba was removed from office while planning his next step of taking the country into civil war.
Contrary to the view in the film, it was not the colonialist conspiracy that wanted Lumumba dead, it was almost every player in the politics of Congo that wanted him dead. Raoul Peck ends up reinforcing the old ideas of Africans as naive child-like victims of the evil international conspiracy. Therefore the reasons for Lumumba's death cannot be found inside among the people of congo. It has to be a conspiracy.
It was not any vision of a united Africa that doomed Lumumba. It was that he was a bad leader who managed to lead the country into ruin within days of taking power. The film is an exercise in self-deception among those who see the "big man" as the solution to Africa's problems.
