Invictus - what a take !!!!

Invictus is a wonderful breathetaking , entertaining and above all an inspiring movie. This movie is not just about the Rubgy game, it about a nation, a leader whom a group of people believe to lead them in the right and successful path, unity and understanding among oneselves.. Through this aspect, the movie is justifed, you could clearly see the way characters indulge themselves in conveying the message.

I generally feel more excited and happy while watching the game movies.. but this one WOW !!! I cried may be .. let me think..

1.When the caption of the team suits himself in the prison room of Nelson Mandela and see the vision of the current president of the nation once working hard to break the stones and could see the vision of looking through his eyes and say:
"I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul."

2. When the captain of the team Matt Damon, brings up his team together in the field and says, " this is it .. look into my eyes ....listen to our nation .. our country needs us ... "

3.In the end... when once again in the back ground i hear the same words : " Im the master of my Fate .. I m the captain of my soul .. "

Morgan Freeman, once again showed us all what he is .. the way he portraits himself in the role and the way he tries to convenience people what needs from them and in the end gets them back .. was shot excellently.
Ofcourse Matt Damon justifies the role of Pienaar , every moment on the screen you can see, how he understands what the president needs from him and conveniences his own people to do something for the nation and proves his leadership..

Clint Eastwood made an another click which covers every aspect of a nation. Right from thoughts of  the President who should lead the nation to a slum boy who craves to see the game and get along with his group of friends who doesn't like Rugby. He could capture every minute part from poverty to criticism both taken accepted and won in a nation like South Africa. One other thing I observed and liked in the movie is the major leaders understanding , accepting and leading all others to change which is required in day-to-day life. All these aspects made it a marvelous click.

Overall I would say, everyone should get out of their house and feel this movie by themselves, every bit of it.
Believe me you will be happy, sad and realizing in the end and will believe that team work does change lifes :)
and sometimes you should expect more from ourselves no matter what we are .. and finally clap when you see Clint Eastwood in the crowd cheering for the team :)

Go now !!! :)


Washington Irving once said: There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.
