Invictus (2009)

Finally a GOOD rugby film that actually includes

what rugby really is on the pitch where all

the had hits happen, but also behind the the games

where the real stress and hard work really happens

and where you're pushed to your limits.

1995 South Africa; a country full of conflict and argument

as a new president; Nelson Mandela steps up

to take control of this dreaded country ripped in

two one side white and the other black.

1995 The Springboks; a failing rugby team on the edge of

disbanding, looking for some hope, some help

and some fight.

This amazing film shows how two men of different

attitudes, different hopes and different skin can

come together and use something so simple as

the great sport of rugby and save an entire country.

by trying their very best to win the world cup.

This film demonstrates the intensity between the

Black and the white people and how we can use

our every day things to bring us and every one

closer to a compromise.

Another amazing performance by Morgan Freeman

and another trophy to add to his collection.

Also another great performance by Matt Damon as

Francois Pienaar; the captain that lead the Boks

in the 1995 world cup.

I enjoyed this film highly as a rugby player

and as a lover of films as is shows so many different

things that are usually hidden in the film and shows industry.

I also enjoyed the acting and thought that Matt Damon

should be in more films ( I later found out he played Jason Bourne ).
