It's much more than JUST rugby Though the movie doesn't give much insights into the life of the living legend(still breathing among us when I saw this movie) known as NELSON MANDELA, it sure tells us a lot about what the man is made of.That we are the master of our fate, we are the captain of our soul. Forgiveness is a mighty powerful weapon that can make or break nations.How a sport can unite a divided nation…

It's much more than JUST rugby Though the movie doesn't give much insights into the life of the living legend(still breathing among us when I saw this movie) known as NELSON MANDELA, it sure tells us a lot about what the man is made of.That we are the master of our fate, we are the captain of our soul. Forgiveness is a mighty powerful weapon that can make or break nations.How a sport can unite a divided nation into ONE, it is a well known fact but to actually be able to do that in a country like SOUTH Africa,at a time when it was ready to rise from the ashes or to fall into its own crevices lying beneath the surface and ready to torn apart the whole nation again into TWO,is what gives me INSPIRATION to rise whenever i'll fall... The entire cast is brilliant without going overboard in situations that could've been intense.A truly inspiring movie that can be imprinted in your heart for the rest of your lives if you're ready to FORGIVE people and make this world a better place to live in!

A little bit hit-and-miss, though 'Invictus' still manages to produce the requirements for a solid sports drama.

A little bit hit-and-miss, though 'Invictus' still manages to produce the requirements for a solid sports drama. Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon are two actors I enjoy a lot, but by the end of this 2009 film I was a tad underwhelmed by them. Freeman as Nelson Mandela sounds great on paper, but in reality you kinda lose what makes Freeman so great - his voice, given he has to act with a South African accent. He still does a good job nevertheless, I just don't think I'll remember this particular portrayal of Mandela - unlike Idris Elba's attempt in 2013's 'Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom'. The merging of the two plot points - politics and rugby union - is done well, though the former is easily more interesting than the latter... and I say that as someone who loves sport and dislikes politics! It's one that is worth a watch, it just didn't give me anything to remember.
