Invictus


I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.

WOW, another incredible movie,

Another true story,

Another sports story,

Another inspiring story of a great person making a difference ....

Another reminder that every once in awhile, a really worthwhile movie comes along.

After watching the movie, go home and read the powerful poem INVICTUS which sustained Nelson Mandela while in prison for 27 years; not for murder, not for robbery, not for some unspeakable crime, but for wanting equality for all races and peoples in South Africa.

Ah, Clint Eastwood, you got it right!

I'll put this one on my "Don't Miss" list for sure. I love the true or based on true movies. So energizing and uplifting.
