Review title: a moment to pause
Product review: I highly recommend seeing this movie. I read the NY Review of Books' article on Lumumba first, which gives a good sense of the historical forces. The former UN Undersecretary however is unrelenting as far as Lumumba is concerned, painting Lumumba almost as a psychotic unrelenting fanatic. It appears the Undersecretary's bias stems from his frustration felt by many UN leaders at the time in dealing with a distrusting world leader (ie., Lumumba) wanting to play on his own terms. Peck on the other hand shows Lumumba's idealism, integrity, fears, and demand for equal recognition clashing with the designs of the West and the riotous factions within his own country. The movie is much more sympathetic and realistic in portraying what Lumumba was up against. The audience really feels and relates to Lumumba in a way that is not at all schmaltzy. I highly recommend this film.
