DVD Reviews of The Power of One
DVD Review: Delayed but decent
Summary: 3 Stars
The product was in great condition and exactly as described. However, it took 1 week OVER the expected time to arrive, making the delivery time well over a month to arrive. I would not order with them again as I can't afford to not know when or if the product will arrive. Sorry!DVD Review: All time favorite movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far my all time favorite movie. Such an amazing message combined with a sense of history. The music is amazing. I have it on VHS and was so glad to find it on DVD. Morgan Freeman is, as always, amazing as is the entire cast. If you have anyone in your life who could use a positive message of strength and courage in the face of great loss and challenges, this is the movie to watch. It has the power to raise you up.DVD Review: good movie
Summary: 4 Stars
enjoyed this movie tremendously, cannot believe that I had not heard about it before. I also bought the book because I was doing a report on the movie. Read the book first. I watched the movie because that is what the professor wanted, but I liked the book better, more detailed. would recommend either and/or both.DVD Review: Power of One DVD
Summary: 1 Stars
I had read the book "The Power of One" again and thought the original opinion about it was right on. It is a great book. I learned there was a movie called "the power of one" and sought it out. What a dissappointment. The only thing that resembled the book was the title. I could not even finish the movie it was so bad and distorted. DVD Review: a beautiful african masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is quite possibly one of the best representations of the struggles that existed in South Africa in the 1900s. It covers a variety of genres: action, drama, romance, ...the list continues. The character of P.K. is inspiring and as a child, evokes the perfect childlike innocence that we all know children possess. Although this movie is not completely "on-point" with the book, it still follows the main story line with a few extras thrown in here and there.
Description of The Power of One
The Power of One is an intriguing story of a young English boy named P.K. and his passion for changing the world. Growing up he suffered as the only English boy in an Afrikaans school. Soon orphaned, he was placed in the care of a German national named Professor von Vollensteen (a.k.a. "Doc"), a friend of his grandfather. Doc develops P.K.'s piano talent and P.K. becomes "assistant gardener" in Doc's cactus garden. It is not long after WWII begins that Doc is placed in prison for failure to register with the English government as a foreigner. P.K. makes frequent visits and meets Geel Piet, an inmate, who teaches him to box. Geel Piet spreads the myth of the Rainmaker, the one who brings peace to all of the tribes. P.K. is cast in the light of this myth. After the war P.K. attends an English private school where he continues to box. He meets a young girl, Maria, with whom he falls in love. Her father, Professor Daniel Marais, is a leader of the Nationalist Party of South Africa. The two fight to teach the natives English as P.K.'s popularity grows via the myth. Maria is killed. P.K. looses focus until he sees the success of his language school among the tribes. He and Guideon Duma continue the work in hopes of building a better future for Africa.General DVDs
