Morgan Freeman must take all the accolades....!!!!! Magnificent Performance....

Rating: 8/10 (3 February 2010)

Clint Eastwood, the man with an aquiline look, seen in profound characters in "Million Dollar Baby" and "Gran Torino", has come out with such a subtle and fine movie that it may take many by a surprise....
Inspired from the book "Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game that Made a Nation" by John Carlin, the movie is based on the contribution of Mr. Mandela in inspiring his team to win the Rugby World Cup 1995, in order to unite the apartheid-torn land.
Morgan Freeman once again delights us with his magnificent performance. His sheer screen presence makes us feel good, positive and really inspired throughout the movie.
Matt Damon is good as the team captain "Francois Pienaar". Genuine and humble along with alert and decisive is the character portrayal by Damon. There is a scene before the final match wherein on being asked "Thinking about tomorrow ?", he replies "No, tomorrow's taken care of, one way or another. I was thinking about how you spend 30 years in a tiny cell, and come out ready to forgive the people who put you there."
Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon both have received an Oscar Nomination for their roles in the movie, that itself speaks for them and from my point of view Mr. Freeman should get the Oscar this year
All other characters have minor but an important role. This movie in my opinion is truly inspiring. Clint Eastwood continues to inspire after gems such as Million Dollar Baby, Changeling and others...
Do watch it....!!!!
