Bonjour,
je dois répondre par vrai ou faux et justifier avec des question sur le texte.
Merci de m'aider s'il vous plaît.
Texte à lire:
Morgan Freeman has been cast as God — twice — so he evidently has no trouble projecting moral authority. The challenge of portraying Nelson Mandela, then, was not the size of the halo, but knowing the performance would be measured against the real, familiar Mandela, and his myth. "If we can say any part of acting is hard, then playing someone who is living and everybody knows would be the hardest," Freeman said in a phone interview.
He gets the rumble and halting rhythm of Mandela's speech, the erect posture and stiff gait. There is a striking physical resemblance, enhanced by the fact that Freeman, 72, is just a few years younger than Mandela was in the period the film covers. More important, Freeman conveys the manipulative charm, the serene confidence, the force of purpose, the hint of mischief and the lonely regret that made Mandela one of the most fascinating political figures of his time. This is not, as the film's screenwriter, Anthony Peckham, put it, "Rich Little doing Mandela in Vegas."
It's hard to say whether Americans at this moment in their history crave a 130-minute parable of racial reconciliation built around a 1995 World Cup rugby match in South Africa. Audiences and movie critics will render their verdict on "Invictus," which reaches theaters Friday.
But we could probably do worse, as an antidote to the cynicism on the noisy margins of our political life, than spending a couple of hours watching Mandela calculating how to knit together a grotesquely divided society.
The story of "Invictus," drawn from John Carlin's book "Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Made a Nation," begins with the newly inaugurated president of post-apartheid South Africa looking for ways to enlist his fearful white minority — with its talent, wealth, resentment and capacity for insurrection — in the business of governing a democracy. His inspired stratagem is to embrace the Springboks national rugby team, the darlings of the formerly ruling Afrikaners and, for most nonwhite South Africans, a symbol of brutal and humiliating repression
Questions :
1)"invictus" received bad critics : true /false ?
ma réponse: True (l.16):"spending a couple of ours watching Mr. Mandela calculating how to knit together a grotesquely divided society."
2)"invictus" deals with the apartheid in South Africa : tue or false
ma réponse :"the newly inaugurated president of post-apartheid South Africa looking for ways to enlist his fearful white minority"
Est-ce quec'est bon ce que j'ai fait est bon?

Bonsoir,
je me demande si vous comprenez le texte: votre découpage de phrases est décalé, hors sujet.
Le texte dit:
movie critics will render their verdict on "Invictus," which reaches theaters Friday.
c'est un futur, donc les critiques ne sont pas encore publiées.
the film is about the newly inaugurated president of post-apartheid South Africa
si le texte porte sur la période "post" apartheid, c'est donc après l'apartheid.
Un président noir ne serait pas élu pendant l'apartheid.

Bonjour,
As-tu cherché un peu sur le web ?
Tu as fais un copier-coller d'un site :
Lien Internet
Voilà ce que réponds un membre du site en question :
Question 1 Invictus received bad reviews
a critic: c'est une personne =un critique
le mot qu'on trouve le plus souvent pour une critique de film c'est REVIEW
Ceci dit la réponse à cette question n'est pas dans ce texte. Il faut chercher sur Internet ou dans les magazines de l'époque.
Question 2
It deals with South Africa after the abolition of apartheid, after Mandela was elected President in 1994 by the black majority ( one man one vote*)and how he tried to reconcile the Blacks and the Whites. He wanted every South African , Black or White, to support their rugby team in the 1995 world cup which was hosted in South Africa .They won it.
* jusqu'à la fin de l'apartheid les noirs d'Afrique du Sud n'avait pas le droit de vote. Dès qu'il ont pu voter ils ont voté pour un des leurs et ainsi Mandela fut élu
