(Again, my mouth is agape that no thread exists for this film.)
I'll make no secret about the fact that I have a filmmaking man-crush on Clint Eastwood. In fact, I think his work as a director is far more important to the craft than anything he ever did as an actor.
Invictus is just further proof of that.
Some may dismiss it as a "sports movie." But having seen both this and "The Blind Side," the two are not even in the same league. This is every bit as inspirational, but feels better-informed, more authentic and carries way more impact.
