Really good drama

Rating: 9/10 (4 June 2010)

When I first time heard for this movie I was astonished . I didn't see something like this so I expected good movie . Theme is really attracting and I saw ratings and I decided to wait for its cinema release . Movie was released in December but in Croatia it was in March so I decide to wait it on DVD . I would feel stupid if I watch something what will be released for two months . There are few interesting facts like its Oscar nominations . Great two leading roles were really good fact . Trailer didn't show much things but then I got it o DVD . This isn't wasting time and I was really astonished how movie is good .
Clint Eastwood as director was world class . Maybe this movie isn't in level of his masterpieces like Gran Torino but it is really good . This isn't some dramatic movie but it is in spirit of whole atmosphere . I can't see anything extremely bad about this movie . Eastwood is one of the best directors and actors and now he confirmed his sense for directing . I can see that he made one drama with nice atmosphere soul and complicated situations . This isn't some movie which can beat some dramas because of its sometimes too idyllic moments . It is really good drama and it is easily winning watcher's heart .
Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela was really excellent . You can see how his experience is bringing quality to this movie . His great acting is again confirmed with one really conclusive acting mixed with his great narrative parts . There weren't any special mistakes so his acting was great . He definitely was brilliant with his strong performance and his physically similar look with Mandela . This movie is really nicely showing problems and happiness so Freeman was on level .
Matt Damon as Francois Pienaar wasn't so good as Freeman but also very conclusive acting . He was maybe too unhappy during movie but he showed great spirit . I think he was also great choice for this role . His appearance was maybe great showing of his character acting . He really has a sense for acting so we could see it in this movie . I think he is one of the best younger actors . He didn't show some mistakes so it was really good .
All in one really good drama . I am definitely recommending this movie.
