How in the world did i not watch this movie until today 10/05/24. Super inspirational and heartwarming. Got me teared up most of the time. Amazing cast and a masterpiece by the great Clint Eastwood!🙌
My friend was the American Ambassador in SA at that time and got to meet Morgan Freeman when he invited him to the ambassador's residence for dinner. He couldn't say enough wonderful things about Mr. Freeman.
Still a Heart-Warming True story, brilliantly portrayed by an amazing cast and "Director" of enormous talent in Clint Eastwood, of how two historical figures from vastly different backgrounds came together. United by a fierce, unflinching love for and belief in a still divided country, they joined forces to Unite the nation, overcome huge obstacles and succeed against all odds and win the 1995, Rugby World Cup. Long may The "Springboks" formidable reputation live, in the annals of Sporting History..! " GO BOKKE.."!!
For Americans that NZ team South Africa beat in the final were regarded as terrifyingly unbeatable. A bit like Mike Tyson in his prime. Lomu was like having Godzilla on your side.
Lol... it's: Hamba (hum-ba(r)) nathi (nah tea) mkhululi (mm-cool-loo-Lee) wethu (wet-who) Loosely translates to "go with us, our liberator" Yes, I know I probably ruined it with loo and wet 😂
It is so sad that the hopes expressed in this film never came to reality. South Africa is now a third world hell hole. Corruption is rife everywhere, infrastructure is crumbling, crime (including an unbelievable murder rate) is out of control. It is ironic that South Africa was MUCH better off under Apartheid than it is today. It puts meaning to the words "Be careful what you ask for, you might just get it".........
South Africa could either prosper or sink,,, that's the reality. And sure, perhaps under apartheid the economy, the politics and everything around it could have blossomed,, but ask yourself this; would it have been worth it? Is a first-world South Africa really worth its native people living quite literally like how the slaves did in the west? Is it worth a nation being divided by fear and hate? Is it worth all the human rights violations? We need to remember,, the wounds of apartheid are still very, very fresh. There are people in their mid twenties who lived through apartheid, so we can't expect an instant shift into rationalism. With proper guidance, South African could gradually find themselves and hopefully deal with the past appropriately; because in a nutshell that's where all the chaos comes from. Gaps have not been bridged yet. I'm not South African, in fact I'm from the neighbouring Eswatini. I'm very close to the action but far enough to give an objective and unbiased opinion. 🙂
Am I the only South African who's not seen this film my word lol - I have to say the accent is not doing it for me. They should've used South African actors just saying!
Clint Eastwood had directed a biopic about Charlie Parker, one of the great pioneers of jazz called Bird starring Forest Whitaker, made Invictus, a Nelson Mandela biopic, starring Morgan Freeman, who Eastwood previously directed into an Oscar-winning performance in the film, Million Dollar Baby for best supporting actor, made the film Letters From Iwo Jima, based on the historic battle and completely from the viewpoint of the Japanese in a sympathetic way. In his personal life, Clint supported the equal rights amendment for women, supported gay marriage, defended Sean Penn's and Tim Robbins views on the war in Iraq, etc. But forget all that! He said this current generation is too politically correct and preferred Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton... so he is still a racist and sexist bigot...morons. 4/5
Fantastic film but let’s not forget that the All Blacks were deliberately (food) poisoned (allegedly), players and administration. They lost 15-12 - not bad for 2/3s of the squad not playing at their peak. Jonah Lomu was also diagnosed that same year with genetic nephrotic syndrome, later having kidney dialysis, a kidney transplant and sadly an early death at 40.
South Africa became fully independent in 1931. Apartheid began in 1948. Apartheid was primarily driven by Afrikaners, who are of Dutch ancestry, not those of British ancestry.
@@jliller oh that is a lie. South Africa was a BRITISH COLONY it never belonged to the Netherlands and English is the primary language of the government there ( not Dutch). Your constant lies don't work. Britain was a by far more powerful colonizer than the Dutch and South Africa has ALWAYS HAD A VERY CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH BRITAIN. So when apartheid was going on Britain could have done something to stop it. And did not. You british are such a bunch of liars you never take responsibility for the problems you created in northern Ireland in Palestine and in South Africa. Britain was the ones who created the problems there. The british started apartheid in South Africa and it was Britain's colony UNTIL 1961 THAT IS THE TRUTH.
@@pa7447 I'm not from the UK. What an ignorant assumption for you to make. The Cape was originally settled by the Dutch who were there for centuries before the British established the Cape Colony. Although the Afrikaners were defeated and absorbed into South Africa by the British in the Boer Wars, their values (including their deep-seated racism) took on an outsized role in South African white culture and politics. Not entirely unlike the defeated Confederates in the USA. The Union of South Africa was nominally independent in 1910 and fully independent in 1931 (not 1961, as you originally asserted). Aparteid began in 1948 after the National Party, an Afrikaner-centric party, came to power. South Africa would later be condemned by much of the international community. British colonialism certainly has plenty of problems, in South Africa and elsewhere. The British probably could have done more against Apartheid, but it wasn't their country anymore. Many descendants of British colonists are guilty of supporting Afrikaner racist policies, just as many whites from other places moved to the American South and came to support the racist policies there. But you need to seriously lay off your Anglophobia. As for the black South Africans cheering England against South Africa in rugby in 1994: I doubt there were cheering the English for being anti-racist. They were cheering whomever was playing against South Africa, because the South Africa national team was seen as symbolic of apartheid. Not only had the team been a semi-formal representative of the apartheid government for four decades, the team captain was an Afrikaner and the team had no black players until 1995.

I keep coming back to this movie to teach my family that hope is in us all
One of the greatest and underrated movies of all time
,,Listen to your country"

Why is director in quotes?
One of my favourite movies all of all-time. Means so much to me.
Damon's most underrated film. Hands down
He is terrific in it, for sure.
really!
Siya and the boys listened to their country, twice in a row🎉🥳
How come I never heard of this movie till now?! Wow. Underrated indeed. The trailer itself made my eyes numb.
Ikrr, the TV is playing it rn and that’s how I discovered it! Such a beautiful and inspiring movie ❤️
@@enhpnlvs Great!
An inspiring, instant classic with a star-studded cast.
Such an underrated movie.
I agree. Of what I’ve seen as his work as director, I think it’s far and away Eastwood’s best, and I think it’s ageing well, too.
Noooooooooooooooo
Nothing close to what really happened.
What a motivational movie... it changed my life struggle
this was a great movie like I watched it like 50 times such a under standing movie
Saw it on a flight. Nice. Voice of God. 🌹🌹♥️♥️
Awesome trailer.. Hello South Africa, from new zealand!!!
With love to both

Brilliant movie
For Americans that NZ team South Africa beat in the final were regarded as terrifyingly unbeatable. A bit like Mike Tyson in his prime. Lomu was like having Godzilla on your side.
Food poisoning didn’t help.
Great movie, credit to SA but would love to see the final without NZ being food poisoned

I'm not South African, in fact I'm from the neighbouring Eswatini. I'm very close to the action but far enough to give an objective and unbiased opinion. 🙂
Hope isn't about life being idyllic, it's about adjusting your perspective.
I love

South Africa was ruled by the English until 1961 so how could they not have been involved in apartheid?
South Africa became fully independent in 1931. Apartheid began in 1948.
Apartheid was primarily driven by Afrikaners, who are of Dutch ancestry, not those of British ancestry.

I'm french
ok
After all this SA still turned to shit
😢
Typical American stock reverse cymbals to add 'suspense' ruined the trailer
FennessyMusic thanks for telling - stopped the trailer and I'll watch it now.
Skek reD it's a good watch!
it's a historical trailer, The movie is trying to focus on history. But still
Disagree
post mandela southafrica - and its rugby - is down the drain, deep down...
u
Winning the world cup by poisoning kitchens and still drawing at full time?
C'mon man, stop it
Voetsek en bly stil ! There was no food poisoning.
Morgans accent!!! not good enough
Was that based on the year s a gave the All Blacks food poisoning in the final?
Indeed, kept that quiet though
