Speaking of the rugby world cup…

…Here’s a good movie to watch! When Nelson Mandela does his first year as president of apartheid torn South Africa he realizes he can use the national rugby team to unite the nation. Morgan Freeman does a great job, as always (here acting as Mandela). Matt Damon struggles slightly with the accent but also does a good job as the team captain François Pienaar. It’s also an interesting glimpse of what South Africa was like at the time. It was fun watching this with Brian, who remembers all of it happening. He’d tell me about things happening and the next second they happened in the movie… Great film, watch it!
