'Times change, we need to change as well' Francis Pienaar. The movie Invictus released in 2009, directed by Clint Eastwood an amazing actor, that had work in greatest movie, not only is a great actor, aslo Morgan Freeman, that has been linked to the one Nelson Mandela, the ex president of South Africa. Matt Damon recognized actor make in this movie the role of Francis Pienaar, the captain of South Africa. This movie shows us what Mandela and the team of South Africa had to live during that Rugby World Cup and what consist the support of Mandela.
The message that this movie gives, is the way how South Africa live, the separation of color was awful, and how instead of those problems, the team everything to win the Rugby World Cup. The other important thing is that Mandela takes the chance to use the Rugby World Cup, played in South Africa, as an opportunity to take the support from white minority and to reduce the racial tension that could take them into a civil war.
Mandela, give's his biggest support to the Springboooks, and he doesn't care about the chance's that his team have, he was happy because of what his country do in that sport that nobody could ever think that the Springbooks will go that far.
Every resuly in the match's that they had were real. In my opinion this movie is a total success because not everyone, know's what happen and how that World Cup help South Africa to take up and put in a good position after all they suffer with the descrimination of color.
This movie in particular is a good way to see the vague thing because all the bad things can change to a good thing like tha way Mandela forgive the people who put them into jail, and after all he support them and give them the best to his nation. And other superation part that the movie show's is how an unexpected team can get to surprise a whole nation and lover's of rugby that see those match's that South Africa have to win.
Finally, the movie is great, the special effect's and the role that the actor's have to do is something really hard, to recreate a match and exactly all the things that the real team do. Every singel part of the movie is exciting and the lesson that this movie give are really important and show the real problems in the other countries.
