Invictus

We watched this movie Saturday night. Starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon, directed by Clint Eastwood it was well received last winter.

I thought the movie was good, not great. The movie was a little slow and for those not understanding of the history a little more backstory might have been beneficial. Why he was separated from Winnie etc.

Matt Damon was wonderful in his role, understated as it was, as the Captain of the Spring Bucks. The movie was Freeman's who with his voice, age and dignity can play any role bordering on God and Nelson Mandela was close to be a deity in those early days of black rule in South Africa.

The story centered around Rugby was interesting, the footage well shot and all in all a good movie.

I enjoyed it
