Invictus (best scene) playing with kids

Best scene from the movie "Invictus"

[@giantaylor3874]

I was blessed enough to know Chester Williams...was such an amazing soul...

[@amina-pr8xt]

Do you know if he was actually a "cape coloured" ?

[@S1LVAW0LF]

@@amina-pr8xt based on his name, probably. Also hes from the western cape.

I'm in the USA an always try to wear unique and different sports jerseys (to keep these young kids guessing, and if lucky, do some Googling on sports history). I just bought a South African sports Jersey in 2023. I put on the back #11 and simply "CHESTER"

[@nathanwilliams2152]

RIP Chester WIlliams. Taken from this earth far too young. Thank you for the memories and the inspiration.

What a shame that he couldn't have seen the incredible performance of the Springbok today. RIP

I am doing a research to my next podcast at work and my thoughts wandered back to my times at Military Academy. For one faculty I wrote a paper about apartheid, about people's path to liberation. To be honest, I was inspired by this movie. I watched the film and I bought the book to get the bigger picture and... I knew, that I had to put the injustice-frustration down on paper. I was lucky enough to have a lecturer (teaching from the heart) who supported me in writing process and actually admired my work. And for that, I will be eternally grateful. But in this movie, this one scene that breaks me every time. No explanation necessary. Am I crying? Yes, yes I am.

[@dude9318]

Yeah it a awesome scene

[@ISIO-George]

Having the team tour the country giving clinics was part of Mandela's brilliance in getting what was originally a team for whites accepted as a team for all, and also to get the team to think of themselves as representatives of the entire nation.

[@martinpettersson4828]

Lovely scene without beeing cheezy ! And without knowing a word, the music speaks right to the soul.

[@Turbo9987]

Great scene. Matt Damon's South African accent was excellent

This is the best scene in the film, amazing. Thank you.

Today I saw a Gwijo video from a school in SA supporting the springboks in this saturday's final. I saw black and white students singing in Xhosa for their rugby team and I cannot help but to shed some tears, thinking how powerful is forgiveness when people with vision sees beyond hatred. All because of Mandela's vision.

[@mikeoxlong4480]

Matt Damon is a amazing actor

[@dude9318]

Wow amazing. We all should try to show love to each other because God wants us to show love to people

[@childfreesingleandatheist8899]

@Dude: We all should try to show love to each, because for the most part, we have it inside. History also shows us that the world works better this way. Not because God (who doesn't exist) wants to.

Rugby > "American" "FOOTball"

[@mav40420]

Don't disrespect the sport cause you not good at it jus shows how shit you are at any sport you fuck

[@adri2shadow]

@@mav40420 I played both "American" "FOOT"ball" and rugby on middle school and highschool as wide receiver and running back in "American" "FOOT"ball and as Inside center and left wing in rugby, i did not get a schollarship coz the college i choose did not have a rugby or "American" "FOOT"ball team, and the only one who offer me the scholarship did not have the degree that I wanted to study. I even passed down the torch to my little brother who is now on a college team.

Both sports are cool

does anybody know the name of the track?

[@Stainymor]

The song is called "The Crossing" by Overtone. You can find all the songs on the Invictus soundtrack ;)

[@restlessbeing1398]

Someone please tell what the song is

[@christopherhamilton8298]

Hello Restless, this song is called The Crossing by Johnny Clegg (who unfortunately just passed away from brain cancer a few months ago, here is his version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3PTfnuuqb-Yg6M&feature=emb_title When he became sick, all the biggest names in South African music (including his son) came together and recorded a new version, and it is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXy6dnimdpV7obs (In my humble opinion, the artist Dave Matthews at 2:37 is the best of the bunch, he's South African but has lived in America most of his life and is one of the best musicians on earth, look him up, Dave Matthews Band. Hope this helps and I love that you love this song too! Makes me cry each time I hear it! :-)

[@cecilegaillot9404]

help required : what word do they repeat at the end of the scene?

[@QFIhawkman]

It's "bokke", the Afrikaans shorthand for "Springboks" which is the nickname of the team. So Pienaar is getting the kids to chant for the "Bokke", in other words to get behind the national team. I can only guess the reply from the kids is the equivalent of "yeah" or "go" or similar?

[@QFIhawkman]

Actually the reply is just "YES" isn't it!? I did the hard part and failed at the easy bit. 😄

[@sliat1981]

I guess it’s the fact that Chester represents them out of the group. Chester sadly passed away last week
