Sinopsis(1)
La Guerra de la Frontera entre África del Sudoeste (actual Namibia) y Angola llevó a muchos sudafricanos jóvenes y blancos a luchar en la zona fronteriza. Moffie nos aproxima a la historia de un joven de 18 años que se enrola en el ejercito donde es sometido a un brutal entrenamiento y donde palpa, desde su ocultamiento, las formas más crueles de racismo, brutalidad y homofobia. Asimismo ilustra cómo el servicio militar inculcó la ideología de la supremacía blanca y la intolerancia racial a cientos de miles de jóvenes, que apenas alcanzaban los dieciocho años de edad. También la necesidad de eliminar la homosexualidad de la sociedad sudafricana. (Filmin)

Reseñas (1)
Moffie is not only a story about attitudes to homosexuality among soldiers in South Africa in the early 1980s, it also offers an authentic view of conditions among soldiers in general, addressing the issues of bullying, pervasive drudgery, and non-violently pointing out the senselessness of a regime that oppresses the indigenous population and forces young men to participate in these injustices. The world of the military training ground does not tolerate mental or physical weakness, on the contrary, it seeks to awaken hatred and intolerance in young men based on racism and homophobia. Some scenes were indeed harsh and unpleasant to watch. Even though Nicholas and Dylan's relationship didn't get as much space as I originally expected, I still had to pause during the credits and really think about it. The only major criticism on my part goes to the odd soundtrack, which I found quite distracting and inappropriate in places.
