awesome movie you have to see it.
Another excellent film from Clint Eastwood. Nelson Mandela is the newly elected president of a deeply divided South Africa and recognizes his main task is to try to unify separate races into one nation capable of solving its serious problems. Seeking a means to inspire the country to unite, he focus on the Rugby team's attempt to win the world cup, a near impossible task. He exerts his skilled
Not enough insight into politics (Do Americans know that Mandela was a Marxist?) Our young generation does not know anything about Apartheid. For Rugby fans: not enough rugby anyway (Do Americans know the game?) This movie is SO Hollywood: PREDICTABLE! We know they are going to win: why bother?
Hard to understand with the accient and I kept having problems with the sound. It was either to low or came blaring out in the next scene.

Eastwood has crafted something that works both as a sports drama and as an examination of the birth pains of the racially unified South Africa. Full Review
