An emotional ride back to the past

Rating: 10/10 (27 February 2010)

As a fellow South African no longer living in South Africa and having Rugby very close to my heart this movie is an inspiration to watch. Having had the pleasure of meeting President Mandela (Madiba) and also having met briefly the South African Rugby team for 1995, this movie hits home and deep in my heart.
A good depiction of what was going on then. South Africa was crying out for a single act of unification. An act that would unite all colours under one banner and a single moment in history that defines the spirit, compassion and healing that South Africa was going through at the time.
Thank you Mr. Clint Eastwood. Morgan Freeman was perfect in his role as Madiba. I've met Madiba and Morgan pulled it off brilliantly. Matt Daymon also played his role well and it is not easy pulling off a movie like this.
Thank you to all the crew that made this film. Mandela wanted to feel a single moment in history of healing with the power of joy! This monumental feat and WIN for South Africa's Springboks and the way Madiba brought the country together using Rugby, was a time to remember.
Head this all out there in the world. South Africa is a tough place to grow up and South African's are proud of that. It is movies like this that remind us of home and for 90 minutes we are back there, experiencing the spirit and love that ALL South Africans share.
Thank you
