Tonight, we went to the movies and witnessed "Invictus". This movie is what you go out for. I would not want to see it first on a TV. Clint Eastwood is a master director just as Morgan Freeman is a master actor. And Matt Damon fits in that category as well. The movie is the retelling of the story of Nelson Mandela becoming President of South Africa after spending 30 years in prison. It's focus is his belief in Forgiveness and the need to avoid revenge. He decides that the national Rugby team needs to get to the World Cup. Rugby is a white person's sport and to the blacks, a bad symbol of the past. Damon is the team captain. I know nothing about Rugby, but I did not seem important. I picked up enough along the way to get excited in the final scenes. The Soundtrack, the acting, the use of the poem (see last week's post) and the imagery were tops. I saw no weak points in this.
It is a convicting story. Great for all!
It is ***** star.
