Being thankful

Invictus is one of those movies where you have a strong idea about the ultimate conclusion but don't care because you just know the telling is going to be amazing.  Starring an amazing Freeman and well-cast Damon, this tells the story of Nelson Mandela's attempt to unite Africa during his first term as president.

Bonus Points for conveying the ugliness of racism, the value of nationalism, a meaningful and plot-appropriate moment of prayer, and a true heart-warming story about a country divided by pain and united through shared experience.

Rating: A

I heartily endorse this movie!
