What a wonderful engaging film. The whole time I felt like I was part of it and at no time was there a lull in the movie.
So many small scenes, that made us think afterwards.
Clint Eastwood is getting better with every movie he makes.
This movie is for me a must for everyone who
a) is interested in international politics
b) Nelson Mandela
c) likes Sports / loves Rugby Union
d) believes there is hope.
I will actually buy this movie once it is out. Not something I usually do, but this one goes in my shelf (beside the other 2 movie dvds I own  ). |
Interesting. That does indeed seem like one to watch (even for us non-movie people.
).
And the poem:
Invictus
by William Ernest Henley
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
