Invictus
I saw the film „Invictus“ at school in November.
„ Invictus“ is a biographical sports drama film , which was released in the United States on December 11, 2009. The film is produced by Clint Eastwood, Lori McCreary, Robert Lorenz, Mace Neufeld and directed by Clint Eastwood. The story is based on the John Carlin book Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Made a Nation  about the events in  South Africa before and during the 1995 Rugby World Cup. The title of the film is also a title of a poem „Invictus“, written by William Ernest Henley.
I quite liked this film. It is an interesting and teaching film, which make people think about their attitude towards other people.
Nelson Mandela, who released from Victor Verster Prison after 27 years spent in jail , is the first black president of South Africa. He concentrates on problems, which are associated with racial divisions between black and white South Africans. The problems between black and white are obvious even between his own security team .
Mr. Mandela attends a game of the Springboks, which is the South Africa’s rugby union team. He realizes that the blacks in the stadium cheer against their home team, as the mostly-white Springboks represent prejudice and apartheid in their minds. He realizes that he did the same thing , when he was on Robben Island. South-Africa has to host the 1995 Rugby World Cup and the president decides to support the Springboks and meet with their captain Francois Pienaar. Mr. Mandela confirms that if the Springboks would win this World Cup, the victory would unite and inspire the nation. Mandela also gives Francois a British poem “Invictus”, which had helped him to manage his life by the the time he was in prison.
The film teaches people to accept and respect other people. Some people have an opinion that black people don’t worth anything but actually every person is human being and deserves a polite and respective attitude. This film was a sheer example that the appearance isn’t the most important thing, more important is that people would accept others even when they come from different cultures and nationalities . In the film Nelson Mandela tried to do all possible to connect blacks and whites and to change their prejudices.
My favourite place about this film was when the Springboks team visited young and poor children , who were deeply interested about learning rugby. This moment was really heart- warming and positive , the emotions of the team members were pure and sincere .
The main characters, Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela and Matt Damon as Francois Pienaar, were skilled and they acted well. The only negative thing, I’d say about this film, is that it made me feel a little bit sad, because there weren’t so many positive emotions and events, which would have made this film a little bit more enjoyable.
I liked this film and I would recommend watching this film, because it’s very useful, teaching and inspiring, especially for young people and teenagers , who might have problems communicating and accepting other people, as the way they are. I wouldn’t recommend this film to young children, because they wouldn’t understand the main idea of this film and as the “Invictus” is a drama film, they might find it boring.
