A Remarkable Experience

Aside from the fact that Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon give extraordinary and nuanced performances, the historical and emotional integrity of this movie is exceptionally good. It weaves vignettes from the characters' lives and work that capture the political, economic and social challenges faced by South Africa and her people as they moved away from apartheid under the leadership of Nelson Mandela. While this movie could have slipped into being hokey or even taken liberties with history, Clint Eastwood showed the self-restraint necessary to create a study of human perseverance and strength in the face of nearly insurmountable odds. Kudos to Eastwood, Freeman and Damon!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
