Disclosure: I received this product in exchange for a post. The opinions are all 100% my own.
Disney always amazes me with their movies. I grew up watching Disney movies and now I love sharing them with my daughters. Disney has got some of the best movies out there. I’m always amazed to see what they come up with next. Whether they’re bringing older movies back or making new ones, they’re always wonderful.
One of the newer movies that they released today, is called Queen of Katwe. Have any of you seen this movie before? I would love to hear all your thoughts about the movie if you have seen it. I remember seeing the commercials for this movie and it looked like a great movie to watch. I loved the whole story line behind the movie too.
The in-home release of “Queen of Katwe” takes viewers behind-the-scenes with filmmakers, as well as the cast and their real-life counterparts, through extensive bonus features, including a three-part documentary highlighting the amazing personal stories behind the film; audio commentary by director Mira Nair (“Salaam Bombay!,” “Mississippi Masala,” “Monsoon Wedding”); a short film by Nair depicting the life of Robert Katende; in-studio access to 15-time GRAMMY® Award-winning recording artist Alicia Keys during the creation of her new original song “Back to Life;” deleted scenes; and more.
“Queen of Katwe” is based on the vibrant true story of a young girl (Madina Nalwanga) from the streets of Uganda whose world changes when she is introduced to the game ofchess, and, as a result of the support she receives from her family and community, is instilled with the confidence and determination she needs to pursue her dream ofbecoming an international chess champion. It is a remarkable story of perseverance against all odds that will leave viewers feeling humbled and inspired. According to director Mira Nair, “The triumph of the human spirit is not to weep for what we don’t have but to focus on what we do have and allow that to take us to a place we never imagined possible.”
Movies that are based on a true story are one of the greatest movies. That’s my opinion though. I just love watching shows that you know were actually true. I think it makes them that more interesting. It’s nice to be able to get to know others more from a real life story. This movie certainly is one that can inspire you. What a wonderful movie this was!
This movie was released today, so make sure you pick up your own copy soon. For those of you that have already seen the movie, I would love it if you could leave your thoughts/reviews so I can hear what you thought about this movie. How many of you are planning on grabbing this movie soon?!
