Invictus

The depiction Invictus taught a lesson of reconciliation, benevolence, and unity. It was mainly based on whizz of many Nelson Mandela achievements which was to unite southerly Africa with the game of Rugby. Invictus took place in 1995, when reciprocal ohm Africa was divided into black ands whites. Nelson Mandela was released from prison after 27 days and was select as the first black President of southward Africa. Mandela who was played by Morgan freewoman join forces with Pienaar Matt Damons character, who was also the captain of southerly Africas rugby team Springboks.The some(prenominal) of them worked unneurotic to try and deliver the goods the World Cup championship and inspire southwesterly Africa, even when Pienaar was face up with much backlash from his team and family. Many of the whites in this movie and as well as those black supporters of Mandela, expected that Mandela as President would be an excellent outlet for revenge for those who were brutalized, humili ated and oppressed under the years of apartheid. However, Nelson Mandela was different, he had overcome the prejudice and hate and did not succumb to such(prenominal) attitude, he didnt allow it.He lie with that such actions wouldnt arrive at 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 busy by the previous president, even those same ones who helped imprisoned him. The sport of Rugby, and the Springboks in general were considered symbols and a constant reminder of apartheid to the blacks of South Africa.They wanted to dethaw the team and start fresh, but Nelson Mandela felt that such actions would only lose his country more that it already was. So with the help of him and his encouragement the Springboks remained South Africas national team, and with his order they helped coached various clinics througho ut the country. Eventually Rugby, was South Africas national. And when South Africa finally made 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 inspiring story. However, as far as the rugby scenes being shot, I felt that the action on the domain was a little off. I really dont know much about this sport to well and quite dont understand the game itself but to me they just didnt look the part.This movie had taught me and informed 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 are possible. We moot the bond between Mandela and Pienaar, who were faced with obstacles but y et they succeeded at their goal. We date stamp the relationship between Nelson Mandelas security team. We see the Rugby team, bulk white, reaching out to their community. And most of all we see the nation of South Africa rallying as one. Overall good movie with good elements.
