Photo description:
This photo was taken in a soccer field, it looks in very bad conditions, it looks like it has not been watered in months, or even years. There are some black kids learning how to play rugby,kids that judging by the houses behind them,, and their clothes, probably are poor. The kids are practicing their pass, and they are being thought by some rugby professionals, who belong to the Springboks. It looks as it the ball was new, as it they've bought the ball just to come and teach the kids. The kids are wearing some really poor clothes, and the rugby teachers, or players clothes, belong to the team. The kids seem very focused, i think they will learn , as they look pretty motivated.
Movie review
MPAA Rating: PG13
Reviewed by: Abustin Abusleme on October 30
Genere: Sports Drama
Actors: Morgan Freeman, Matt Damon
Directed by: Clint Eastwood
Distributor: Warner Bros Pictures.
Clint Eastwood, has been in this business for over 40 years now, and being for that many years, involved in a work, that requires, that demands, a lot of originality , he never stop surprising all of the people who watches his movies. In Invictus, he takes the story of a man who made a twist in the history of a country, and the world. The story of this president and the captain of the rugby team, the "Springboks", who were personified by Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. The movie is very deep, and entertaining, and is gives us a lot of morals as well.
"This is the day our country went to the dogs". That were the words of the trainer in a white boys school. In this part of the film, the beginning, shows the release of Mandela, and how Africa was divided into two, the white people playing rugby, and the black ones were playing soccer. The movie is placed around 1995, and it is based on true facts, about the history of that country in that year wich was facing big racism issues, and the tension between the two sides of the country, the whites and the blacks, was increasing, reaching the edge of a civil war. The poverty was also a big issue. All these things together, had the country in a very bad social unrest.
Mandela showed particular interest in an "Underdog" team; The Springboks. The Southafrican team was all full of white people, with the expetion of one member, and that one was the only one loved by the black people in the rugby team, this one was "Chester", as the rugby was like the white sport and the soccer was the black sports. The world cup was coming, and no one had faith in the team, not the people, nor the captain, the only one who trusted the team was the president Mandela, but the courage and success of the team left behind the separation, between black and white people, creating a country that was able to support the same thing, all at the same time, fighting all for the same cause. he used rugby to unify a country, South Africa.
The overall movie is very good, the setting was very realistic, and it looked almost as it was 1995. It misses a lot of facts and important events, and it maked the racism seem a lot simpler than it was. It is a nice movie to watch, it practically explains the South African history pretty good, and the rugby matches are very nice,and detailed, they showed us really good the tension, the pressure, just as is was back in that date. Great cast, great setting great movie. 9.3/10

This rugby match is between 2 teams that I can't actually recognize, or maybe I don't even know them. It's a nice day and it seems to be crowd behind them, and the field looks pretty good, it seems to have a nice grass. I can't say exactly where the place is, as I can't recognize it. In the center of the photo there is a man who is kicking the ball, he looks ver focused, as that is the kick that will define if that is a victory, or a loss. The man kicking the ball has a blue and gold sleeve less shirt with a kind of eagle in the center of the shirt. White shorts, blue socks and black shoes is what he is wearing besides the shirt. Behind the guy kicking the ball, there are two team mates, and two of the opposite team, who are wearing a sleeve less shirt as well, but this one is black and white, and the shorts and the socks are black as well. The people behind the focused man, look pretty tired, some are in the ground, looking at this person as an actual hero, but the "hero" looks pretty energetic, I guess it is because of the adrenaline he is with, as his hole team is putting all his hope on him.

Letter to a Friend:
Dear Vicente Torres:
Hi there, how are you doing? Well, i am writing to you because I told you that we were gonna go to a football match, but I am afraid i cannot go with you. About a week, I was riding a bicycle with some friends, and we made a little race, between about 5 guys, I was winning, but a little rock in the middle of the road, made me fall off, and my fibula just exploded, i am with plaster all over my leg, and i can barely walk with crutches.
I still got the ticket, so find a friend that want to go with you, and i will give him the ticket so you can go with someone. Don't worry I will be walking in about a month now on. I will be waiting your response for you to tell me what is the friend you are going with, hope you are fine, and i will see you as I get better.
See you soon,
Agustin Abusleme.
