It's in the sky

The film only captures the fact that Mandela cares about the football team, which must be politically correct for racial reconciliation, otherwise things will be too much after he becomes president. This concept is correct, but just like Gandhi believed that Hindus and Muslims can live in harmony and co-prosperity in one country, it is not enough to rely on concepts alone, right? Unless the common people have a consensus that the country is a legal community that transcends nationality, religion, culture , and race , such a consensus will take too long to build, and it is very fragile. There are far more cases of failure than success. However, Mandela, who was in turmoil, probably had no more starting points at that time. The rugby team was a life-saving straw. However, there are too many accidental factors for the success of sports competitions, and it is very unsustainable. The plight of South Africa today shows that It's actually in heaven.

Idealists tend to overestimate human nature and overestimate themselves. Their best state is to die before they personally take charge of administrative affairs. Like Gandhi, they only leave an ideal figure; Often surrounded by small groups and not guaranteed at night; what a pity that Mandela spent 27 years in prison.
