I learned that people are so forgiving because Mandela was in prison and when he got out 30 years later he was ready right away to forgive the people that put him there. Mandela was wise because he forgave his oppressors, and he used something that one party hated and another loved to bring together a country. In the movie there were parts that showed how the two parties joined together to have fun. Like at one point they were visiting some kids in a township. At first the kids were a little afraid but by the end the kids were sad to see them leave. Kids are cool in that way they forgive and forget. Adults take a little more time, but in the movie by the end everyone was overjoyed to see their team come together and win and the whole country supported the team.
