Invictus

The movie Invictus taught a lesson of reconciliation, forgiveness, and unity. It was mainly base on one of many Nelson Mandela achievements which was to link up in the south Africa with the game of Rugby. Invictus took place in 1995, when South Africa was divided into ominous ands whites. Nelson Mandela was released from prison house after 27 years and was select as the first black death chair of South Africa. Mandela who was played by Morgan freeman join forces with Pienaar sluggishness Damons character, who was also the captain of South Africas rugby squad Springboks.The both of them worked together to picture and win the World Cup deed and inspire South Africa, level when Pienaar was set about with much backlash from his team and family. some(prenominal) of the whites in this movie and as rise up as those black supporters of Mandela, expected that Mandela as President would be an excellent expiration for revenge for those who were brutalized, humiliated and op pressed chthonian the years of apartheid. However, Nelson Mandela was different, he had overcome the preconceived idea and hate and did not succumb to much(prenominal)(prenominal) attitude, he didnt each(prenominal)(prenominal)ow it.He drive in that such activitys wouldnt benefit his country. Nelson was a leader, he was about reconstructing South Africa into a better nation. He went into office with a goal of reconciliation, which began with forgiveness. He first offered jobs to all those who were employed by the previous president, even those same ones who helped imprisoned him. The summercater of Rugby, and the Springboks in general were considered symbols and a constant monitor of apartheid to the blacks of South Africa.They wanted to disband the team and start fresh, but Nelson Mandela felt that such actions would only hurt his country more(prenominal) that it already was. So with the help of him and his hike the Springboks remained South Africas national team, and wit h his edict they helped double-deckered various clinics throughout the country. Eventually Rugby, was South Africas national. And when South Africa finally do it to the World cup, their entire country, both black and white, young and old, rich and poor cheered them on.Over all the movie was enjoyable. Morgan Freeman as Mandela and Matt Damon as Pienaar playing the role of a mentor and a motivational coach to his team and his family the both of them coming together for one cause of uniting everyone, was an stimulate story. However, as far as the rugby scenes being shot, I felt that the action on the field was a modest off. I really dont know much about this sport to well and quite dont understand the game itself but to me they respectable didnt look the part.This movie had taught me and sure me more of Mandela and his actions in this light. It showed me how sports can also unify people. With forgiveness in your heart, as well as determination things ar possible. We apprehend the bond between Mandela and Pienaar, who were face with obstacles but yet they succeeded at their goal. We happen the relationship between Nelson Mandelas surety team. We see the Rugby team, majority white, stretching out to their community. And most of all we see the nation of South Africa rallying as one. Overall wide movie with good elements.
