Apartheid Response

The relationship changes throughout the movie when the jersey kid turned down the Springboks jersey, but at the end of the movie jersey kid was listening to the final game with the police. Also I think that the team changed throughout the movie when they got to go to the jail sell of Mandela and the place where he was at. Mandela changed a little bit throughout the movie when he walked out at the end of the rugby match with a Springbok hat on and a Francois Pinaar jersey on. And also Francois changed in the movie by when he stood in the jail sell of Mandela and shut the door and looked out the window and realized how small it was.

This represented South Africa by uniting blacks and whites. I like when Francois said that they didn’t have the support of 12,000 South Africans but the support of 43,000,000 South Africans. I also thought that what united South Africa was when the team went to this little towns of all blacks, and when they first got there everybody was chanting, “Chester! Chester!” Because he was the only black player on the rugby team. And finally they got respect when after the rugby match almost all the stadium was chanting, “Nelson! Nelson! Nelson!” And it wasn’t just black fans but black and white fans.
