This week, Joel, Anna and I went to the movies to watch "Invictus". We decided to go to a VIP movie theatre, just to add a bit more comfort to this magnificent outing that going to the movies can be. In these VIP movie houses, the chairs, at your choice, can go almost 100% flat, leaving the back up just right enough for one to watch the movie in an impeccable position. The icing on top comes with a very discreet light one can use to call a waiter and order stuff ... all that for just US$ 8. How about that?
Anyway, Invictus, the movie. Have you already seen it? If not, I so completely recommend you doing your best to see it. Morgan Freeman's performance as Nelson Mandela is beyond words. Of course that it helped him the fact that he was surfacing one of the many beautiful chapters of Nelson Mandela's life. What a man Mandela is, what a will, what a purpose in life... what a Person & Soul!!
Tears, not sad ones but rather pure history's beauty, came to my face on a couple of moments of the film. The fact we lived in Johannesburg and have been to some of the sights of the movie added a touch too.
Joel had the honour of actually meeting Mandela. Needless to say that his hands were not washed for a good couple of weeks after shaking Mandela's hands, ha ha ha. Joel went back home that day SO proud and in owe with the day he had had and as for me, it's for sure one of the top moments of my life to have lived in a Country under his presidential leadership.
On a side note, we are still waiting to see if insurance will pay to repair our car from the "river stuck incident", as the final quotation to repair it reached only US$ 8,300.00... can you believe it?
