I just watched the last Clint Eastwood...not his best (even if it is much more better than most of movies I watched in my life...)...but with this beautiful and simple idea that to build it is easier if people go in the same direction than use their energy to fight against each others... Bellow, the poem Invictus that given its title to this movie...
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 unbow'd.
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.
William Ernest Henley
Watched it yesterday. I really loved it. " 30 years in a so small cell, going out and being able to forgive to those who put him there.." The whole movie is contained in this small sentence. And most of the simple and humain leitmotivs we can see in there, are the beautiful signature of Eastwood. Vibrating hommage to humanity, its inner richnesses and its ability to make peace and to forgive. ;)
