I saw Invictus today. Every time I see a movie directed by Clint Eastwood I always come away thinking there is no way anyone else could have made the movie any better. He always gets everything just right. When you watch Morgan Freeman you actually do believe that he is Nelson Mandela.
The title of the film comes from this poem:
Invictus by William Ernest Henley
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
for my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance,
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance,
My head is bloodied, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishment the scroll.
I am the master of my fate;
I am the captain of my soul.
