It's up to people

I prefer this kind of biography to be real and touching than that kind of sci-fi. There was a time when I really liked watching black movies and I liked listening to their accents. The few movies I've watched were very moving and they were all very good. The history is really bad and I really have no interest, but after watching the video for a minute or two and seeing how people cheered when Mandela was released from prison, I went to Baidu and got a certain understanding of Mandela. Nelson Mandela, just out of prison, has successfully run for the presidency of South Africa. He led the desegregation of people and led the way, hiring white escorts and establishing color-coded communication in every way. As the host of the 1995 Rugby World Cup, South Africa is back in the international sports family. However, South Africa's rugby team - the Springboks, whose players are all white, is regarded by many blacks as synonymous with racism. In order to break the barrier, Mandela took a long-term view and supported the exchange and competition between the Springboks and foreign visiting teams. He met Springbok captain Piena, and the two had a heart-to-heart conversation. The latter led white players to travel around South Africa, popularized rugby to ordinary people, and made the game a link between black and white. Mandela was very nice to the people around him, he cared about everyone, and the few black bodyguards around him were really in awe of his president. Respect is mutual. But it's really hard to imagine how he's been in such a small space for 27 years, and I've never given up hope for life. Imagine what we would be like if we spent 27 years in prison? He came out and chose to forgive those who sent her to jail. The unyielding Mandela taught us that anything is possible.

    I was sitting in the cinema, tears streaming down my face. Eastwood's movies are always like this. The shooting angles are flat, the cut is uninspiring, the super-big actors, and all kinds of unscrupulous Hollywood factors are mixed together, but they are beautiful and very beautiful. Matt and Morgan's South African accents are too standard...

Invictus quotes

  • [observing an Afrikaans newspaper headline]

    Jason Tshabalala: I wonder what it says...

    Nelson Mandela: [reads the headline] "He may win an election, but can he run a country?"

    Jason Tshabalala: Not even your first day on the job, and they're already after you.

    Nelson Mandela: It's a legitimate question...

  • [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.
