Invictus

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Village Vidiot

A very traditional sports-is-politics-brings-nation-together flick from Clint Eastwood. It stars Matt Damon (ok) and Morgan Freeman (who’s up for an Oscar tonight) as the captain of S Africa’s rugby team and Nelson Mandela (guess who plays which role?) Freeman is very impressive as the saintly NM who sees what others can’t and is willing to go to any lengths, that is to forgive and never forget, to create a new South Africa. Sports help to bring the new nation together. Good, but very traditional. “I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul”
