Another clear example of men getting better looking with age. Damn. So unfair. I wouldnt' have though much of him then in the looks department. I love him now, however. Plus he's so mature. Sigh. I wanna see this. I don't see many films about South Africa...would like to learn more.
I remember watching this film for school back in 1999, still one of my faves. It's kind of funny, he goes from playing a South African Nazi supporter in this film, to playing a South African Jew in the Mossad in Munich
There are a midstake.......One scene is missing with Daniel Craig! When the Afrikaners came to burn the boxing's building, we see Botha (Daniel Craig) and you forgot this scene!! But, you made a good job!
I was able to find this operating very well through roulettecash==org, We was distrustful at very first, but they will allow us make use of the software for no cost.
Wait a minute...why don't we make a Botha(both the younger one and Daniel) fanvid with the Be Prepared song from The Lion King? Of course, Botha plays Scar!
I got the book recently, but the book is sooooo creepy that I can't dare read it. Maybe it's after I watched the film.
As you know, in the book, PK's time being with his mother and nanny was too short(shorter than in the film), but the boarding school years, on the contrary, were sooooo long. WAY TOO LONGER!
Besides, it made me remind of the last scene of young Botha(played by Robbie Bulloch in the film) everytime PK gets bullied in the book.
craig is very good but there's a theatrical thing about him that doesn't fit into movies.. might be his interpretation of this role - or me only having seen him as james bond and now being shocked by him actual acting XDD
If I ran into Sgt. Botha many years later, I would have to use every inch of my will power to keep from taking his friggin' head off if he tried to do that to me when I was in Grade school, on or soon after Dec.11,1941 - Germany declares war on US.
True, but there are a lot of things not happening in the book. The big line of the story is the same, but botha is just different. But still, just love the book and love the movie.
I hated this character when I saw The Power of One in 7th grade history class. 5 years later I saw Casino Royale, and I loved his portrayal of Bond. I didn't find out they were the same guy till today! Funny how many actors we don't recognize when we're younger.
This is an excellent movie. I was recently watching it and just realized that was Daniel Craig. I knew he looked familiar. He is an exceptional actor you should see him in Layer Cake.
The Power of One is such a wonderful movie about awful things that have happened in the world and is still happening. Daniel is really good in this movie but Stephen Dorff is amazing. If Gwyneth Paltrow can get an Oscar for that horrible film Shakespeare in Love anyone can. But many actors truly deserve the Oscars instead of so many others. But that's life. You can't always get what you want or what you deserve. But then again you can, if you have enough time or luck:) (or s-one that favours you
i remember seeing this when i was very young and being terrified by daniel craig's character and thinking he was evil, so much so that i couldnt seperate the actor from the character. which is funny cos i now i fancy the pants off daniel craig!
What, besides the fact that Daniel Craig is in it? Yes, it's a pretty good film, with a very good performance from Morgan Freeman, as well as a compelling subject.
@NetoAllStars The novel traces the adventures of Peekay, an English-speaking South African boy, from age five to age seventeen, from the year 1939 to 1951.
haha. james bond got his ass killed by a 2x4
