"It Happened" tells the true historical events of Mandela's support for the South African rugby team to win the World Cup after he came to power. As a sports-themed film, this film did not do the best in terms of emotional grasp, and the way of advancing the story also It's lackluster, and even the auxiliary line expression of the racial reconciliation of the bodyguard team in the setting of the plot is too pale. Mr. Dongmu's new work was not as good as expected, but he conveyed enough emotion to me.
There are many excellent sports-themed movies, but they are often not as exciting as the sports games themselves. I can't help but think of the torture of flashing back several books in a game when I watched "Slam Dunk". There is too much meaning in a moment, which is too much to explain, and the pure beauty of movement is destroyed. However, Acheng's "Chess King" is a special case, and the project is different, but it is really remarkable to be able to write a chess game with such an immersive sense of urgency. "Achieving Success" is more about expressing the political role of sports, and it is about human nature. Similar to "The Miracle of Bern", West Germany won the World Cup trophy, giving the disgraced defeated country a chance to vent. , I believe this played an important role in the re-emergence of Germany. Mandela's political football threw an olive branch of national unity, bridged the extreme national sentiment through the sense of national honor endowed by sports, aroused the patriotic enthusiasm of all citizens, and thus resolved national conflicts. This is Mandela's policy agenda, and it can also be seen as his insight after going through all the hardships. Morgen Freeman played this historic role perfectly.
However, in the film's expression of resolving ethnic conflicts, I still have a little remark, which is about the white perspective of the film. Although the protagonist is Nelson Mandela, we can only see a president who has courted white people from beginning to end, but we can't see the white people's remorse for the crimes committed during apartheid, which is more of a wrongdoing anxiety, maybe they don't feel like they've done anything wrong. Even if we know the prison torment that Mandela was subjected to, it is easy to see the deep-seated hatred of white people in the eyes of every black man. But the Mandela in the play is so calm that I don't want to believe this kind of determination beyond human nature. I think it would be better to show a little bit of mental struggle. Of course, I would rather I ignore the details.
The original title of the film is "Invictus", which translates to "Invincible", which comes from one of Mandela's favorite poems. Just like Hemingway's famous saying "A man can be destroyed, but not defeated", what is truly invincible is A firm belief is a spur to everyone who is in adversity. Dongmu's transmission of this spirit deeply moved me, and I would like to share with every comrade in arms on the road!
Invictus
Unconquerable
By William Ernest Henley (1849-1903)
Out
of the night that covers me
,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
me See the darkness as a deep grave.
I thank whatever gods may be
for
my unconquerable soul
.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
, I
have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed
.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
,
Looms but the Horror of the shade
,
And yet the menace of the years
,
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid .I
don't flinch at all.
It matters not how strait the gate,
how
charged with punishments the scroll,
or how narrow the gate is,
I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my
fate
soul.
I am the commander of my soul.
