This story is centred around Nelson Mandela and the captain of the South African rugby team. The director of Invictus is the famous Clint Eastwood. The movie belongs to the drama genre.
It starts off with South Africa getting hammered at the first game of the World Cup. But Nelson Mandela acted by Morgan Freeman still has faith in South Africa and has a talk with Luscumbe Belinda the captain of South African rugby team who is acted by Matt Damon. The film is extremely exciting and has an exciting twist at the end. Will South Africa win the World Cup? Can South Africa win the World Cup against all the odds? Watch it and find out!
I would give the movie four stars because it is an amazing film. I think it is suitable for viewers from 4th class up because it might be a bit complicated for younger children.

Written by John Boyne.
This story is centred around two children, one young boy called Bruno who has an older sister called Gretel & another boy called Shmuel. Bruno was only nine when he & his family moved to the country. This meant that he had to move into a new house and make new friends. But that was his biggest problem; there were no children around where he lived.
One day he went for a walk in the woods and crossed over a bridge and eventually he came to a big fence. There was a little boy sitting the other side of the fence, in what looked like a striped pyjamas. This little boy was called Shmuel. Bruno and the little boy became friends with Bruno visiting the little boy each day & giving him food. We see the boys become friends, talking to each other, sharing & comparing their lives. They each wonder about the other & Bruno, in particular, is curious to find out waht life is like for Shmuel.
This is a sad movie with Bruno & Schmuel becoming friends despite all the horrible things that are happening around them. Both are very lonely & they like each other even though they are very different.
I would rate this movie at 8/10. The very end of the movie is disturbing & might not be suitable for younger children because of this.

The most important people in this movie are:
Jake, a former marine played by: Sam Worthington.
Grace, a scientist played by: Joel David Moore.
Neytiri, the chiefs daughter of Pandora,who is played by: Zoe Saldana.
This story is about Jake a former marine in 2154 who fills in for his twin brothers place since he died two weeks before his turn to become a Na’vi. Jake gets split by the group he was in, when they were collecting biological samples in Pandora. He was about to be killed by a native Na’vi, Neytiri, when a sacred seed made Neytiri lower her weapon. Neytiri brings Jake back to her father, the chief of Pandora who spares his life and takes him into the tribe on the condition that he learns their way of life and nearly as a punishment Neytiri has to teach him.
Jake is meant to be helping the military find out where all the sacred resources called ‘Unobtanium’, that is worth billions, but as Jake learns more about the way of the Pandora life, he can’t help but feel like he should protect the people of Pandora instead of destroying their way of life. In the end, there is an epic battle against the humans and the Native Na’vi’s. Jakes prays to ‘Eway’ Pandora’s God, that the Na’vi’s get help for the war.
If I was to give this movie a moral it would be: Do the right thing and you shall be rewarded.
Girls and boys would like this movie as you have romance for the girls and for the boys you have the war.
I did like this move because it wasn’t all soppy since there is war in it.
I would rate this movie 9/10 because I feel in some parts of the story the writers could have elaborated a little on certain aspects of the plot. But still it is a very good movie and well worth watching.
