The movie was just excellent. Morgan Freeman was amazing. He completely channeled Nelson Mandela in his speech and his mannerisms. Matt Damon, all buffed up, was also terific. Clint Eastwood has brought us an amazing story with heart and humanity as well as a sense of realism and true excitement. Not since Ron Howard's Apollo 13 has a director done such a fabulous job of building suspense around a historical event whose outcome we already know. And, as always, a great soundtrack. This is an uplifting, wonderful movie that people of all ages and all walks of life will treasure.
