Letter to a Friend

Dear Tulio,

It all started when I was playing the rugby inter house, the day tuesday 4 th of october in 2011.
And playing the game I suffered a hip dislocation and I was 8 months without doing any sport activity. So that injury leaves me with a lot of consequences, for example my meniscus broken and the possible use of a hip prothesis when I am 40. In conclusion, I want to tell you that I am very nervous and sad with these situations because if this happen, I would not be able to practice any sport in the rest of my life.
I hope you understand me,
Diego

Visualisation of a Poem

First Shot: ( Wide Shot)

It is a green landscape,
Beautiful day,
the sun shining,
people swiming in the river.

Second Shot: ( Wide Shot)

No one in the river,
the landscape with beautiful sunset,
River covered by flowers who are falling,
Autumn

Third Shot: ( Pan out)

A person who really know the place,
remembering swim in the river.

" Times change, we need to change as well". This quote was said by Francois Pienaar, the captain of the "Springboks", in the 1995 Rugby World Cup. The captain motivated the team saying these words to get the best out of them, and it was a relevant act in the story. This movie, is my fauvorite ine, because it leaves me with a lot of life-learnings and I also learned with it, that you can forgive people who have betrayed you, in order to be a better person, and if I refer to the movie, to unify South Africa.

Nelso Mandela was sent to prison, because he was one of the black people who wanted the union in the country, he stayed in a little cell during 27 years. when  he was released from prison, he presented himself as a president candidate. Then, he was elected. The rugby in those times was very important in relation to unite the country, because it was the only way to mingle the white and the black people, having only one purpose, cheer the Springboks up, that were playing the rugby world cup in their country. So, that wasbthe most important in order to stop the 2Apartheid2, to have a reason or motivation to unify the country, in this case, the rugby.

Summarizing, the movie started when "Madiba" was released from prison in 1990, he was passing between a rugby field, where were only white children playing and in the other part, black children playing football celebrating Mandela´s come back. The new president started thinking in how to unify the country and he realised that with the rugby he could do it, because it have a lot of values and it teach players the concept of teamwork and how to applied it. After that the president, invited Francois Pienaar to drink a cup of tea and principally to ask him and motivated him to win the world cup to unify the country and stop the racism. Yhe rugby team started to think and they could realize that all the team could make a change. Since they have there thoughts in his mind, they went to a town where only black people lived there, and they taught houw to play rugby to all the boys who wanted to learn rugby skills. After that, black people started to cheer the Springboks, because of what they did with the black boys and also, some people started to realize that they were in one country, not in two separated parts in the same territory.

I invite you to see this movie, because here you would realize and learn how a man who was abused, could forget everything and try every possibility to have a good, pacific and united country, and finally, he did it for the country's wellfore, not for him. Another good component of the movie is that it have great sound effects, the actors were the right ones, they never had a mistake and the climax is very clear to the audience
