    INVICTUS - conquered me. Grade: A. (Based on advance VIP press preview on Monday Dec. 7, 2009)

    by MOVIES REVIEWER

    Invictus, latin for 'unconquered', is a 1875 short poem by English poet William Ernest Henley.
    The last two lines of the poem are...
    "I am the master of my fate;
    I am the captain of my soul."

    Invictus is also a 135-minute movie based on the non-fiction book by John Carlin - Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Changed a Nation, and chronicled Nelson Mandela's life from 1994-1995 - focusing mainly on his inspiring and successful attempts to racially and politically depolarize plus unify the South African nation with the help of South Africa's underdog rugby team, Springboks.

    Director Clint Eastwood was charged with the difficult task of weaving politics and sports while presenting a portrait of a gentle, wise, and humanitarian leader. He succeeded in crafting a well-told story - with excellent production values - that is fresh, entertaining, educational, inspiring, and yet - not at all 'preachy'.

    VERDICT:
    ROUSING, INSPIRATIONAL, POWERFUL.
    Go See It!!

    What movies are all about.

    by jay247

    This is a "Must Go" movie. It is a beautiful story of human conflict and choices.
    It is a story of how, from the deep shadows of darkness can come forgiveness and healing.

    Wonderful movie, Clint Eastwood did it again.
    Two Thumbs up for:
    Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon.

    A fascinating blend of politics and sports

    by pb7605

    I went in to this with low expectations- the movie we wanted to see was sold out. But can I just say WOW! This was a fantastic movie. Superb acting by both Morgan Freemon and Matt Damon as well as the supporting actors. The movie really gives a glimpse inside 1990's South African society and politics and demonstrates the immense task that Mandela was faced with in terns of bringing the country together. It is enlightening without being heavy handed. Instead of trying to be an all encompassing story about Mandela's life, it focuses on a relatively narrow time period and scope of activities, and manages to somehow convey a good sense of the man and his political instincts. And the rugby scenes were amazing. I have never seen rugby before, but this movie makes me want to get to know the sport. Great movie.
