Sometimes, to get the big picture, you need to focus closely on that one microcosm that stands for the whole. Mandela knew that. This film did that. A tour de force all round. 🙌
This part is basically accurate. Madiba overrode the decision to cancel the Bokke. It was slightly different from depiction in movie, but he did it, used his moral stature to do it.
i'd love to know if Mandela actually said this or it's the script writer because if he actually said this it's better than "friends Romans country men ,lend me your ears" and one of the greatest speeches uttered by a man or woman in my view
It's interesting to think that the future of a united South Africa rested in rugby and that if the springbok had been cut it could have led to a chain of events that could have resulted in an Afrikaner breakaway country or even a civil war.
This encapsulates how to deal with the spirits of anger and revenge. Not stoking the flames for further degradation and destruction. But an egocentric appeal to the humanity within and it's need for healing and growth.
'Egocentric' is perhaps the wrong word: but to be better than others expect of you doesn't harm your own self-esteem. Fortunately, it does a lot more than that 😊
from my aussie point of view and a believer that believes the kingdom is the only sustainable way. this is about the greatest wisest ,most persuasive speech, i've experienced given by man . for me it beats "friends romans and countrymen lend me your ears ". i just wonder how true this was . if anybody knows i'd love to know ,or was it the script writer have an inspired good day.most
Springbok colours is the name given to green and gold blazers awarded to members of the South Africa national rugby union team. They were historically awarded to teams and individuals representing South Africa in international competition of any sport. After the 94 election when the ANC 1st took power they claimed it to be a symbol of the previous government and took it away from everyone with the acception of the SA Rugby as an act of conciliation towards the white minority of South Africa. This attitude still continues against afrikaans despite being the most published individous language in Africa its constantly under attack despite majority speakers being mixed race rather than white.
The more important part was cut on Mandela explaining why he did that speech.. If the springboks was cut it would have led to a collapse of the economy of South africa at that time. As most of the economic sectors was ruled by the Afrikaners, army of South Africa at that time were controlled by afrikaners, police of south africa in years immediately after apartheid ended was largely administered by afrikaners and nearly support the springboks.

The day I'm afraid to do that is the day I am no longer fit to lead. That's leadership
As we say in NJ, freakin’A right.
I'm proud 2 be a South African....to witness such greatness....well done Bokkes

We need more leaders like him
Trump and Scott Morrison and Modi have balls and stamina like that
😮but do they have his integrity and wisdom?
This was a superb scene. So well written and acted. And an excellent message on reconciliation and building solidarity
Brilliant focus change on 2:59 because she is becoming aware why this is more than "just rugby" and stares at him, knowing he is right.
I love this movie. If this is accurate , then ive never been more impressed with a leader

I 💘 this movie 🎥
It is very much true, Mandela vetoed his party on this decision
@@flatoutt1 of course it's accurate; not verbatim but it was more or less his message in that scene and throughout his presidency.
Always loved this scene and speech.....

Meli Matanatoto wow
WOW..... 'Im always amazed at that speech how powerfu.......l
Dankie Madiba. Ons mis jou.
Easiest bit of casting in movie history!
Don’t forget the past. Just don’t live in it
Time proved him 100% right.
If this happened in 2017...the Springbok would've been axed.
Aparhide would not be acceptable in 2017
@@kreb7 There is apartheid in Israel as we speak… China is committing genocide against Uyghurs as we speak…
Also, the ANC's flag is green and gold
The thing is a lot of the German/Dutch/French actually agreed with getting rid of them
Jah the French did, but that was so they would stop beating us XD

did this actually happen? did Mandela stop the vote?
yip
he asked them to have another vote and they did
i think hes veto this decision..

Show the max she's only account of speech speeches are representation of being made
Shame they spoiled this scene for the sake of a silly punchline next scene
Alguem fala português aqui?
Oui oui
This speech would be seen as right wing or alt right today nelson Mandela would be impeached if he gave this speech today
4 World Cups is testament to Mr. Mandela's decision
