especially considering, like you said, you already figure south africa's gonna win. also considering nothing was going on in or during the game other than the game. one team scores, the other team scores. so what? even in bad sports movies, there's usually something moving the narrative along during the big game. some teammates learn to get along or something. there was literally nothing going on for 30 minutes. it's like they cut away from the movie to show an entire rugby match. and the whole movie itself was like they cut away from the interesting parts of mandela's life (prison, politics, family, etc.) to focus on this rugby story.
