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...

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,...

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:

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

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... Racial Reconciliation or Political Means

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...

Freeman's laugh is a bit like Mandela, adding a documentary flavor to the inspirational theme. "Thank God for giving me an unconquerable soul", this is not the well-being of the South African...

Sports is really a panacea to eliminate...
[appearing at the South African Sports Committee, after they had elected to disband the Springbok rugby team]
Nelson Mandela: Brothers, sisters, comrades: I am here because I believe you have made a decision with insufficient information and foresight. I am aware of your earlier vote. I am aware that it was unanimous. Nonetheless, I believe we should restore the Springboks; restore their name, their emblem and their colors, immediately. Let me tell you why. On Robben Island, in Pollsmoor Prison, all of my jailers were Afrikaners. For 27 years, I studied them. I learned their language, read their books, their poetry. I had to know my enemy before I could prevail against him. And we DID prevail, did we not? All of us here... we prevailed. Our enemy is no longer the Afrikaner. They are our fellow South Africans, our partners in democracy. And they treasure Springbok rugby. If we take that away, we lose them. We prove that we are what they feared we would be. We have to be better than that. We have to surprise them with compassion, with restraint and generosity; I know, all of the things they denied us. But this is no time to celebrate petty revenge. This is the time to build our nation using every single brick available to us, even if that brick comes wrapped in green and gold. You elected me your leader. Let me lead you now.
Nelson Mandela: We need inspiration Francois. Because in order to build our nation we must exceed our own expectations.
Nelson Mandela: If I cannot change when circumstances demand it, how can I expect others to?
