Invictus

I saw this movie a few days ago with my brother and it was pretty emotional, I really liked it. Movies are supposed to move. If you ever have a spare pair of hours I strongly recommend you watch it. Not only does the music remind of the long-loved Disney classic "The Lion King", but it has plenty of content without being overly heavy for that matter. Another very valid reason to watch it would be getting to hear Morgan Freeman interpret the poem "Invictus", this could however also be done just by searching for it on youtube. It's a very good poem, I must say. Something I might actually want to ink myself with someday...

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishment the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

- William Ernest Henley (1848-1903),
