How To Train Your Dragon Movie

(Click on the picture to enlarge it.)

The young boy in the middle is called Hiccup: he’s a young unassuming boy whose life is gonna change for the best when he encounters a fantastic dragon.

Here’s the plot of How To Train Your Dragon:
“The film is set in a mythical world of vikings and dragons. The story centers around a viking teenager named Hiccup (Jay Baruchel), who lives on the island of Berk, where fighting dragons is a way of life. The teen’s smarts and offbeat sense of humor is disliked by his tribe and its chief, Hiccup’s father. However, when Hiccup is included in Dragon Training with the other viking teens, he sees his chance to prove he has what it takes to be a fighter. But when he encounters (and ultimately befriends) an injured dragon, his world is flipped upside down”

The film is based on the book of the same name by Cressida Cowell.

Invictus – President Nelson Mandela takes office in Pretoria.

Invictus – He wants us to win the world cup.
Plot:
“After the fall of apartheid, South Africa was host to the 1995 Rugby World Cup. Mandela was in his first term as South African president, and he used the event as a way to end decades of mistrust and hatred between whites and blacks.”

The movie Invictus is starring Matt Damon as Francois Pienaar, the captain of South Africa’s rugby team and Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela, the then newly elected President of South Africa. A quite well selected cast:

Nelson Mandela – Morgan Freeman

Francois Pienaar – Matt Damon

There is a striking resemblance!

The movie Invictus will be released this December.
