Clint Eastwood has been synonymous with excellence in filmmaking whether its capturing the essence of characters as in 2004’s Award® winning “Million Dollar Baby” or presenting history in “Flags of Our Fathers” (2006), and the plight of a mother’s (Angelina Jolie) quest to find her missing son in last year’s moving film “Changling” (2008). In “Invictus”, Clint Eastwood gives us a view of the behind-the-scene life of Nelson Mandela, after his release from prison and his first term as South African President, and how he joined forces with the captain of South Africa’s rugby team to help unite their country. “Invictus” focuses on newly elected President Mandela and the knowledge that his nation remains racially and economically divided in the wake of apartheid and segregation’s slow path to ending. Believing he can bring his people together through the universal language of sport, Mandela forms identification and public relations plan of unification through South Africa’s rugby team as they make their historic run to the 1995 Rugby World Cup Championship match. Conceiving the plan is one thing, making it a reality is the challenge for President Mandela. Morgan Freeman as the president, Matt Damon as the Rugby team captain, and Clint Eastwood’s very apt directorial style including rugby matches is like stepping back into history and observing live.
