You remember that movie that came out a few years ago? It addressed racism, football, and the south? Had something to do with Titans and remembering them? Oh yea! Remember the Titans! Invictus is that movie . . . backwards. The film follows Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman), the newly elected black president of South Africa. From here its that story again, the whites hate the blacks and you guessed it, the blacks hate the whites. So what does the newly elected president do to solve these problems? Rugby. He tells the captain of the South African Rugby team (Matt Damon)  to win the world cup. . . Sounds crazy. So crazy it just might work.

I don't remember this scene

The rugby scenes are filmed excellent, and if you know nothing about rugby, don’t be worried. The “need to know” rules are explained in a brilliant scene where the white rugby team teaches a group of black children in a slum. I will say though, if you know a little about rugby before seeing this film you will get a little bit more out of the movie as every detail of the game isn’t explained. With the joking comparison of Remember the Titans aside, this is an excellent movie for any sports movie fan, South African fan, rugby fan, racism fan, Morgan Freeman fan, or a fan of strange poems called Invictus. Which as one last aside, the title is explained, I just don’t want to be ‘that guy’ and spoil it.

You're doing it wrong...
