Anyone seen Invictus yet?

[Bbbananas]

I saw it Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed it - you don't have to be a rugby fan to enjoy, understand or be moved by it. It's more about unity between blacks & whites than it is about rugby.

I must admit the lip-synch was a bit out for the first 15 minutes of the film which really annoys me, but once the film got going it was riveting. Very inspiring and uplifting. I would recommend it.

That Mandela fella was a very clever fella.

not yet, looking forward to it though

[snags]

I fancy that too...

He was also a terrorist and refused to condemn violence.

[Bbbananas]

35 years in solitary... I wouldn't be best pleased.

Whatever his 'faults', I think he was (is) a brilliant man overall.

[Bbbananas]

He also forgave his captors and encouraged forgiveness once he was freed. Can't argue with that sqad, surely?

No-one said Mandela was perfect - after all, he was just a man....

[Sqad]

I agree salla....but last decade's terrorists are this decades heroes.

e.g forgot his name ...the IRA leader....beard etc.......?

[Bbbananas]

Rolf Harris ?

[mccfluff]

martin mcguiness?

[Bbbananas]

Can't see that Gerry Anderson guy ever becoming a folk hero - look what he did with Thunderbirds,,, it was a joke.

[Sqad]

LOL yeah! Martin Harris.

[Bbbananas]

Oh well - go and see the film anyway. I recommend it.... and that's a recommendation in itself cos I have very good taste...

[LoftyLottie]

Gerry Adams?

[Bbbananas]

That's the man !!!
