Invictus (2009)

★★★★★

Finally! It feels great to see a good movie again. Even though I was in college during Nelson Mandela's presidency, I'm embarrassed that I know so little about him. Ken says he remembers talking about South Africa a lot in school, but I can hardly recall any conversations at all - in or out of the classroom. This movie was not only inspiring - at times, I got goosebumps and/or tears in my eyes - but educational to boot. Makes me want to go out and find a good book about Nelson Mandela. Rugby players grunting in slow motion was a little weird, but the musical soundtrack made up for it.
