In additional, Doc also became his staircase to look for purpose in life. In the scene where they went to the prison, where it was shown that Doc let PK show the Africans and it was the beginning of the building of purpose of PK’s life again. Doc introduced PK to a lieutenant but he was busy so they met Geel Piet. Then, boxing was now formed in PK’s passion in his heart. The director executed this moment to show us the new personality that is being built in his character. After being brave from the sufferings that he been through where one of it was he lost his ‘mother courage’, boxing made him stronger too and now in a physical manner. This was the meaning that Doc said to PK that his body and education is the crucial things in life. To improve PK’s physical state, Doc saw a way to enter him in the world of boxing. It made a big effect on audience perception. The audience perceived how PK was having the great talent in boxing. And boxing made a way to push PK’s heart closer to Africans. Not only he found his purpose but it also added up to more purposes. Being close to Africans was a bad thing for that time since Afrikaners are leading Africa and it didn’t matter for PK cause what he believed is friendship and unity. Afterall, he grew up associating with Africans which made his bond to them stronger. This can be linked to the scene where the cruel act of the sergeant to Geel piet where he commanded Geel Piet to eat manure sticking in his feet. If how PK is being united and bonded with the Africans, that’s how hatred Afrikaners feel towards Africans.
Pk was so lucky to have Doc not only as his grandfather but also as his guide to lift up himself after all the hardships he suffered in life. He lifted himself to look for purpose in life and he found boxing as his passion, he saw things differently from before, he learned new things and gained knowledge being Africa as his classroom and his life got much better than as it is before. This moment is certainly an important moment to prepare us for another scene. We saw how enlightenment was in PK’s life after meeting his grandfather.
