Invictus

This movie directed by the very famous Clint Eastwood is a biography, drama, sport and history film, starring the also very famous Morgan Freeman (Nelson Mandela), Matt Damon (Francois Pienaar) and others. The movie is essentially about Nelson Mandela in his first term as president of South Africa and who is on a quest to have his country win the 1995, Rugby World Cup to help restore the image of what had been an apartheid torn sort of country. I thought it was good to see something of historical content and intellectual matter, perhaps a little more advanced then the Hottie & the Nottie in this category out of Hollywood. I did enjoy how the film incorporated a lot of facets into a story, such as rugby, Nelson Mandela's life, South Africa, the apartheid and so forth. So yeah I thought the movie was fine but to perhaps express a few thoughts more clearly I kind of felt like I was watching a movie on A & E with Hollywood cameras with more special effects perhaps; so it seemed to really present the details of Nelson Mandela and I think at times you might feel like this is really more of a detailed history lesson from school not things flying around or some other typical Hollywood fun; not that there is anything wrong with either or but just to let you know. On the whole though I thought the movie was worthwhile, perhaps something like a 9 out of 10 shiny rugby ball stars could sum up my perspective on this one; hope that was helpful!
