I re watched Invictus http://invictusmovie.warnerbros.com/dvd/index.html or http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1057500/ tonight. If you are not familiar with the movie, it is the story of Nelson Mandela, newly elected President of South Africa, enjoining the forces of the rugby team to inspire the nation to a sense of unity.
I really like sports movies that actually have a greater good theme. And, many sports movies do.
I think it is important to recognize the influence of Clint Eastwood http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000142/bio in movies that have more than an entertainment theme. He has risen from TV heart throb Rowdy Yates in Rawhide to spaghetti western star to a very talented actor, producer, director of some very important movies. Yeah Clint Eastwood. And, in the process, he was mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea.
So, Invictus is just one movie with a message, and Clint Eastwood has supplied us many more.
