Morgan Freeman, Matt Damon
What´s the plot?
From director Clint Eastwood, starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon, ‘Invictus’ tells the true story of how Nelson Mandela joined forces with the captain of South Africa’s rugby team, Francois Pienaar, to help unite their country.

As newly elected President, Mandela believes that the universal language of sport can bring people together in the wake of apartheid. As a result, the nation’s underdog rugby team make an unlikely challenge on the 1995 World Cup Championship.

I saw this film first in Leister square London at the UK premiere and i loved it then not just because i met the cast but i have been back to see it again today and found it to be just as inspiring as it was then. I think because this is a true story it is easy to follow and for those of us that can remember back to 1995 and the rugby world cup you can see why this film is so powerful and touching and is filled with raw emotion at the elected president Nelsen Mandella and Morgan Freeman brings it all to life and so does Matt Damon and i would recommend this film to everyone and if you haven't seen get to the cinema and see it

My dad wanted to see this yesterday but I wasn't too keen on seeing a film but I went anyway and sufficed to say I enjoyed myself. Invictus tells the story of Nelson Mandella as president of Africa who joins forces with the captian of the South African rugby team Francois Pienaar to ask them to win the world cup and help unite the country in the awake of the apartheid.

This is a very good film. Morgan Freeman as Mandella was terrific. He played the part perfectly with the touch of charm, heart, intellect and thoughtfulness. Matt Damon was good enough as Francois but I have to say it could have been played better with another actor in his place. Clint Eastwood directs once again with flair capturing the essence of the story and focusing it firmly on one event as th apartheid was more than that.

It was interesting and inspiring to watch though I didn't feel the inspiration until the very end. It wasn't amazing as there were parts where I was getting a bit bored but it does pick up. What did let this down slightly was Matt Damon's satisfactory but nothing more performance and lack of the powerful tone of the situation and more inspiration surrounding it. But this is still well worth seeing even if it's a bit on the long side.
