'Invictus' movie review

Christianity Today gives this PG-13 movie 4.5/5 stars:
But Invictus is inspiring, outside the rugby, first of all in Mandela's readiness to forgive. Many of the other blacks don't understand his support for the Springboks. "Forgiveness liberates the soul," he tells them. "It removes fear." This from a man who spent almost three decades behind bars because of apartheid. It's too bad that the emotional gravity behind this reconciliation is at times cheapened by sentimental soundtrack choices—at one point, a song about being "color blind."

Mandela's resilience reminds us that we are responsible, regardless of what happens to us. Like Mandela, we cannot control our circumstances, but we can control how we respond to them. Circumstances only draw out what is already in our hearts: "For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks" (Luke 6:45). And so this is our paradox: while we remain subjects either to sin or to Christ, for our "overflow" we are held as responsible as a captain is for his ship.
