I quote these verses that will make you think about what this man went through in his captivity
black as her unfathomable abyss,
I thank the gods, if they exist,
for my undefeated soul.
Fallen in the clutches of circumstance,
Anyone saw me cry or blink.
Under the blows of fate,
my bloody head is still upright.
Beyond this place of tears and anger
the horrors of the shadow lie,
but the threat of the years,
It finds me, and it will find me, without fear.
No matter how narrow the road is,
how charged with punishment the sentence.
I am the owner of my destiny;
I am the captain of my soul.
Invictus tells us about the terrible final period of apartheid based on John Carlin's work "The Human Factor", which is one of the greatest shames of humanity, which has divided the Republic of South Africa for almost 60 years.
Although Carlin's book began with Mandela's negotiations with the President of Health, and then with President De Klerk until the end of the World Cup, that is, from 1985 to 1995, this film tells us that Nelson Mandela was president until 1995. The end of the Rugby Cup of the year.
"Invictus" catches my attention for its simple and formal production, without modernity, and it has a fairly linear narrative. It tells what happened from Mandela's appointment as president of South Africa to the country's victory in the Rugby World Cup. (Do not expect to see Mandela's biography from the beginning, this film only tells us a very specific moment. It does not appeal to me personally, but the film manages to attract and attract). "Invictus" stands out in Eastwood's film: telling us a story in an intimate, conspiratorial, intimate and loving way. Eastwood is once again subtle, replaying with moments, phrases and performances that make you cry (this time it's the most positive way I've seen in his movies).
Eastwood stands out again because he knows how to treat his characters properly and capture them with affection, he chose actors like Morgan Freeman (who are already habitual in many of his films) and he let him play a role and stand out. Great role. Freeman put on a climactic performance (to be honest, I expected a correct performance, nothing more. But I met a Madiba I'll never forget), and his accomplishments with his Mandela are impressive. Incredible, he couldn't. be better. But if not a great performance.
What do you expect from this charming and experienced actor? Matt Damon managed to get me to pay more and more attention (he was one of those actors who seemed expressionless and bored... in the end, he almost secretly proved that was not the case). And all minorities are absolutely exceptions. At Eastwood, the actors were guided as well as usual.
As they say here, Eastwood seems to fall in love with this role that has fallen into his hands and absorbs it, and shows us a personal involvement (unlike Soderbergh and his car). In the end, Freeman created a funny, cute, and admirable persona, who couldn't dislike him, and let the audience be with his people (the fact that they want to hug him throughout the movie is no accident).

Wow, thats amazing, Morgan Freeman's ability to portray philosophy & the reverence he creates to any film is superior to any film artists. He has got power in his acting, without a doubt...
Its a great movie review @thranax. Feels like Looking this apartheid fighter in front of him..
I did great, I still think I involved so much that I think he felt everything Mandela felt.
