Invictus

I saw the movie named "Invictus".

Why did Mandela try to have them unify the country by using the World Cup?
Mandela who had spent the long tract of years in the isolation cell became the president in South Africa before long.
White who has ruled over a country though small number of people are power. They feared the persecution by the birth of black President who had been elected by the black's support.
It exactly thought the majority of the black to be "It is revenge". However, Mandela's politics aimed at black and White's mutual prosperitys. The president appointed white to guard. And, they were made to work with black's guard member. In addition, He stop was put on the dissolution of the rugby team of a South African representative whose nearly everyone is white player.
And, he bet the union of the country on this rugby team. The majority of the team are white though it is a South African representative. Moreover, it is a minor team.
I investigate the truth of Mandela who hoped for the victory of the World Cup to this team.
"Invictus" that was the title of this movie was a word supported while he was imprisoning.

It is myself that decides my fate.
It is myself that controls my soul.

This is a passage from poetry in the movie. Even if One's situation is difficulty, the results are all my choice. He did not yield. In long imprisonment life of 27 years, he found the idea "I was not conquered" and "Do not conquer".
He esteemed "Permit". It was very persuasive to the act "Permit" by Mandela who live in the prison before.
Mandela who talked with captain of team. They have the common feature that leads the organization as a leader. He did not say to the captain of rugby, "I wants you to win the championship in the World Cup". However, the captain realized it. I think that this scene was important.
All fates are depend on me.

I think that I unite by all Japanese cheer in the representation from Japan in the world meeting of baseball and soccers of WBC and the World Cup, etc.
It is moment when identification in country is felt.
Then, I think that Mandela's policy is a method of the best to unify the country. Moreover, this South African representative is player Caucasian the majority, and has the label of minor team. Patriotism and the mutual prosperity mind will arise to the people if this team approaches the victory. I understand so.
The idea of the president who related sports to politics was a wise selection.
And, this movie director is Eastwood. I think that he appealed for "Permit" to us who repeats the tragedy by the prejudice that continues now. It wishes the global peace.
