"I am the master of my destiny; I am the commander of my soul."

Morgan Freeman's appearance in Mandela really satisfied the wishes of most movie fans around the world. When I first saw Morgan Freeman as a child, I felt like him and the president of South Africa. There are many movies about Mandela, but most of them are about the journey from prison to the president. There is really little to tell a story like this. This is also the greatest feature of Clint Eastwood’s films. He always chooses the most special angle. This angle is sometimes overlooked, but he just grabs it, analyzes it, and sees the big from the small. One story reflects the entire society. The stories told in the film did not have a great influence on people from other countries at the time, but it was indeed a big impact for the people of South Africa at that time. The film tells very clearly that Mandela, who was sent to prison by whites for 27 years, could forgive whites after being released from prison. This was something that whites in South Africa could not understand at the time. What a big mind! The movie uses the captain's perspective to find the answer. In the movie, the captain also visited the prison where Mandela once lived. In the end, he finally understood that the righteousness of the country had broken the racial boundaries. And what Mandela did was to protect his motherland. Whether white or black, he is a citizen of this country, and he is responsible to them. (At that time, when Mandela was elected president, the white people in South Africa were quite panicked.) In fact, what the film is about is "country" and "race". The relationship between the two is really bad. Answer, but Mandela used his actions to show that he loves the motherland and understands the righteousness to handle the relationship between the two. The movie name Invictus-Unconquerable, refers to Mandela, refers to the captain, refers to the rugby team, and even more to the new South African country. The captain finally understood Mandela, so he felt more responsible to lead the team to victory, and they finally did it. Under the leadership of Mandela, the newly born South Africa has overcome racial barriers and merged into a real nation. Clint Eastwood's movies are always cruel and beautiful. But this movie really doesn't look like his style, the whole is very positive. However, there are a few suspense points that have been handled very well. One is that Mandela fell to the ground at the door at night, thinking that he was shot by someone, because at first a car caused the bodyguard's alert, but it was just a report; the other The plane flew over the stadium, thinking it was a terrorist coming. The soundtracks in the two places are also outstanding. I also like the episodes in the movie very much. Finally, I quote what Mandela said in the movie: "I am the master of my destiny; I am the commander of my soul."

Invictus quotes

  • Nelson Mandela: You criticize without understanding. You seek only to address your own personal feelings. That is selfish thinking, Zindzi. It does not serve the nation.

  • Television Announcer: Tell us Mr. President, have you always been a rugby fan?

    Nelson Mandela: People don't realize that I played rugby myself when I was a student at Fort Hare. It is a very rough game, almost as rough as politics.
