      invictus

      Before this, I was not familiar with Mandela and rugby. After watching this movie, I thought of the doubts that often flash in our hearts, that is, this world is not perfect, facing an unfair past, facing my youth is "wasted" (perhaps Mandela did not Wasting his youth, in prison he still studies, organizes political activities), what will we do with the world? Let's start by thinking about our attitude towards the world: whether to blame the bad world, or hate the unreasonable world and put...

      I am the captain of my soul

      Classic inspirational. The focus of the film is on Mandela's encouragement to the captain of the Springbok team and the spiritual experience of the captain of the Springbok team after communicating with Mandela. Prison made Mandela, and Mandela's insights in prison inspired the captain. I am the captain of my soul. This is the theme of the film, and it is this belief that motivates the captain. Taking a name is a matter of human beings, and it is also a touchstone. In addition to this love,...

      INVICTUS

      I was impressed by the poem that inspired Mandela to spend 30 years in prison after reading "It Happens in People". The name is also the name of the movie, and I specially found it to share with you:

      Racial Reconciliation or Political Means

      Using external worries to solve internal problems is just a political trick. The football tour and the U.S. presidential election are essentially emotional cards. The former avoids talking about something, and the latter just covers up or fabricates what needs to be talked about.

      Everyone says that Mandela is compassionate, but Cheng Xin in the Three-Body Problem is also compassionate... Do leaders need the trait of compassion? We don't know. I only know that he is great not because of...

      Eastwood's legacy

      Rugby is the medicine, and Mandela is the medicine, saving the new South Africa from a waste of time.

      Invictus Out of the night that covers me,

      By covering my dark night, Black as the pit from pole to pole,

      I saw layers of bottomless darkness. I thank whatever gods may be

      Thank God for my unconquerable soul.

      Unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance

      Even if held by hell, I have not winced nor cried aloud.

      I don't flinch or scream. Under...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Both the producer and director of the film wanted to find a British actor to play Francois's father. The audition and selection work lasted from November 2008 to March 2009. But there was no suitable candidate, so the crew had to find a less famous actor to play this role.
    The entire film was shot in South Africa, mainly in Johannesburg and Cape Town.
    The film is adapted from John Carlin's "Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game...

    Evaluation action

    The film is an inspiring film, a film full of humanistic spirit, and a film that sincerely expresses Mandela's personality charm. Whether in this movie or in life, regardless of race, ethnicity, politics, or culture, you can see the great miracles of tolerance and communication, while isolation, prejudice, hostility, frequent resistance, blockade, and withdrawal, habitually "have ulterior motives" The accusations of "incitement" can...
