Wed Movie - Invictus

Wednesday Movie

Invictus

An uplifting movie with Morgan Freeman as Mandela and Matt Damon as Francois Pienaar. It a story of reconciliation and unity among diversity and sports is the glue that binds it was produced and directed by Clint Eastwood.


A very inspirational piece with great admiration for Mandela. I wish we had someone like him in our midst as we have a potent mix of race and religion in our politics. God help us all!!! 


The poem "Invictus" (by William Ernest Henley, a victorian poet) that inspired Mendela during his 27 years of imprisonment.
  

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 bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the 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 punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
