  • Essay / Biographical drama "Invictus": Film review

    The film Invictus is a biographical drama based on a passage in the life of Nelson Mandela during the 3rd Rugby World Cup in 1995, the screenplay is based on a book by John Carlin. For the most part I watched this film because of our mission, because of my low interest in sports, I did not include this film in the list of those I wanted to watch, but this task made me watch it and honestly say that I was surprised because I expected a boring and monotonous movie about a guy, but it turned out to be the opposite, the movie was full of interesting moments and unexpected twists . I would like to give some reactions to several scenes in this film that particularly interested me but first a brief summary won't hurt to be included in this reaction paper. Say no to plagiarism.

Strictly speaking of the film, it is a biographical drama about an episode in the life of Nelson Mandela which took place when he was released after 27 years of imprisonment and immediately began to fight against the politics of apartheid and the civil rights of the black majority, after which he expelled the presidential election (1994). After losing to South Africa by a crushing score, the players express their extreme dissatisfaction with the result, knowing that next year the Rugby World Cup awaits their country, so Mandela organizes a meeting with the members of the Committee South African sportsman, where the majority are black. The film showed many of the issues and challenges that Nelson Mandela and the people of South Africa faced as a nation. Nelson Mandela had to face such a problem as the division of the nation, but he ultimately achieved his goal and managed to lead the South African rugby team to victory in the world championship. Perhaps this information is enough for a brief summary, but of course it is possible to write and describe the difficulties he encountered on this life path, but I prefer to say a few words about some scenes and express my thoughts and my feelings for them, that is, reacting to these scenes. The first scene I'd like to use in this article, which wasn't long after the movie started. In this scene, Nelson Mandela shares with Francis his experiences on Robben Island, the place where Mandela was imprisoned for many years. Although Mandela's stay on Robben Island was rather modest on his part, he was not afraid to admit it or even share his experience there. I can relate this to a discussion about lifelines, which was already covered in a lesson by a teacher during my recent school term. The life paths we have chosen require competent leadership as they affect our remaining lives. The chosen lifestyles show or will show the experience gained in your life, which cannot always be only positive, but also negative and unpleasant. The next moment in this film, notably taken from a poem by William Henley, words that could not leave me indifferent, namely "My head is bloody, but inflected" (Chester Morney Williams), meant for me that I I was injured, but I wasn't shot. Our protagonist doesn't give up, he goes all the way. Honestly, these sentences from the poem touched me, because of my own life experience. Many times I have experienced moments in my life where I suffered greatly,, 20(3), 335-345.
