Invictus

I was quite eager to see this movie just because of three reasons:

1. Morgan freeman - playing Nelson Mandela

2. Matt Damon - playing Francois Pienaar the captain of 1995 rugby world winning springboks team.

3. Director Clint Eastwood

I loved the storyline and both Morgan freeman and Matt damon did justice to clint's direction.
It is all about how Nelson mandela and Francois Pienaar turned around the post apartheid situation which was very well explained by a scene in which in a South Africa vs England match all whites were cheering for south africa but all blacks were cheering for england. And as far as rugby was concerned, South Africa was hosting the 1995 Rugby World Cup, that being the only reason the Springboks were even competing in the tournament as its years in isolation has not made it world ranked.

Good movie!!
