Photo Description Invictus

In this photo you can see a lot of black kids with the captain of the rugby selection with a rugby ball. In that scene of the movie by order of the president Nelson Mandela, the rugby selection of South Africa went to teach rugby in the poor and black poblation. These black kids did not know anything about this sport because rugby was a white`s sport, that is to say that it was a sport only watched by the white people and the black people that used to the stadium was to support the other team. When the team arrived the black kids only say Hi and hugged Chester, the only black player on South Africa. The black kids had a very poor types of clothes, broken shirts and shorts that were given by the help centers. The place was a field of football in a very bad condition, wit poor grass. The rugby team reached them very well and if you look in their expressions we could see they were happy because learning a new sport

My Collar Bone Fracture

Dear Juan,

Hello, how are you? I am writing this letter to you because I want to tell you the story about how I fractured my collar bone.

Well, this was two years ago in a rugby match against the generation that actually is in second media. We were losing for a lot and in the second half the fly tackled me and I fell down in a very bad way on my shoulder. It hurt me a lot. The nurse took me immediately away from the field to the hospital for kids "Asomel". They explained to me what had happened: I had a collar bone fracture and I was not going to play any sport6 in 2 months. It was October, I was not going to play in the whole year. That made me feel sad because I love doing sports but well, that's the way life is. Well that was my story and now I want you to tell me about you when you receive this letter

Invictus

Invictus (2009)
MPAA Rating: PG 13
Reviewed by Franco Schiaffino on October 30th, 2014
Genre: Sports, Drama
With: Matt Damon, Morgan Freeman
Directed by: Clint Eastwood
Distributor: Warner Bros Pictures


Invictus is a great movie released on 2009 starred by Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon and directed by the famous and great director Clint Eastwood. Basically is about the union of two races throughout rugby. "The times changes, we need to change as well" are some of the most shocking phrases of the captain François Pienaar "Matt Damon".

This director based this movie and was inspired by the real case of south Africa that was governed by a cruel and racist dictator that gave all the rights to the white people, that were the minority and removed all the rights to the black people that were the great majority. Obviously, it originated protester groups of black people that wanted to have the same rights than the whites. All that people that were part of these groups were condoned to jail. In these groups the lider was Nelson Mandela, who was condoned for 27 years.

And in this part is when the movie starts. Mandela's conviction was finishes. He postulated to president and won the elections. Both black and white people thought that the black revenge was starting, but no. Mandela wanted the union of these two races. And he knew perfectly how: by the rugby. The rugby was a white's sport. Only the white people would go to the stadium to support "The Wallabies" and the people that would go to the stadium, would go to support the other team. Mandela with a lot of ways, achieved the union of the two race and something else.

If I would have to evaluate in the grading scale of 1 to 11, I would put it 11. This is a movie very recommendable and in my opinion, necessary to watch. I think that because the story of the movie is so good, the actors too, the sound effects too and most important because when you finish watching it your view of the life and of the other people, changes a lot.
