INVICTUS Theme Song: 9000 Days

[brownshugarz]

This is so inspirational. And the poem is my all time favourite!

[TuTubeGuy]

Beautiful song. Great poem. Nuff' said.

[panchoucrc15]

[jonhyman11]

any body know where i can get this track ? thanks

[Aeglos666]

Invictus actually means 'Unconquerable' not Invincible in Latin. The difference between the meaning of the two is quite large. :)

[christBL2319]

@Aeglos666 The latin term for 'Unconquerable' is actually Invicta, with the poem name probably grafted from Invicta to Invictus, came across 'Invicta' when I was browsing through latin quotes and phrases

[OJharts]

@christBL2319 Invictus is the name of the poem

[baranakin2]

That's how everyone should be .. but 95% of the world are the opposite. That is sad

[spazter1000]

3 people don't believe that the unimaginable can actually happen... if you want something bad enough, all you gotta do is believe

[SteveMallon416]

I love how just the words of a poem gave him hope in prison, and I also love how the poem and its meaning were tied into the movie. This song and its melody work perfectly with the message of the movie and of the poem. Very inspiring.

[MapleCactus]

This is excellent video production. You should do this for a living.

[thegreatnative]

My birth date is 13/5/1987. 13/5 was the score of the 1st test between these 2 great rivals which the All Blacks won back in 1921. Im a passionate AB fan and have been since I watched them for the 1st time in that World Cup final back in 95. I was 8 at the time I recall very little but vividly remember the heart ache I felt when we lost. Its taken me many years later to realise it is an honour for the All Blacks to be apart of a signifficant day in South African history

May the rivalry continue

[kolisionn]

this song and the movie is absolutely touching, i love this film with a passion. nelson mandela is truly a human being we should all be inspired by for the things he did

[Herolinker]

It's over nine thousaaaaand!

[The321starfish]

missing home!! See you soon SA!!!

[nonekarateka]

Podría estar escuchando esta canción una y otra vez es preciosa! y la película excelente me encantó y la banda sonora en general es muy buena muy trabajada.

[HarryDG0]

[deathlyking]

There are always some fools that think its fun to dislike something so great and moving as this

[amezaragoza]

One of the bests movies that I've ever seen!!!!!

[am221]

It matters not how strait the gate, nor charged with punishment the scroll. I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul. <3

[xrcrazy1]

@devilcloud57 couldnt of put it better myself.

[kostika8888]

2 people dislike this song or maybe movie ? huh what can i say you guys,just tell me one reason to dislike this song or movie ?!

[dvvid1993]

@kostika8888 just trolls

[chakaling]

@kostika8888 They missed the deslike button. it's the only explanation.

[subzerorussian]

I thought this song was great until i read the poem

[gabomotaguahn]

saw this movie in the plane going to the world cup! inspiring! I wanted to stay forever great country, great people, great movie!

[megatonydeath]

I loved this song so much more than movie.

Sure the movie was great.

But sheesh. What a song.

[mgmel16]

i just realized the lyrics of this song is mostly taken from the poem

either im slow and that was the point

or not many people realized this.

probs the first one....

but i still love the song :)

[HelderMwangole]

@mgmel16 I've just realized that now...thanks for the heads up.

[mokrelioman135]

how many days are there in this song?

ITZ OVER 9000!

[TraceSkirata]

Ok, 2 people do not like this song. May I ask Why?

[ASA1997x2345]

This movie is probably the most inspiring movie I've ever seen...whenever I see it, it always makes me want to be more like Mandela, more responsible. This song has the same affect on me and goes very nicely with the film.

[diegoromeromora]

great

[gochochoco9595]

this song and the film are perfect...I like the film a lot and this song is very sad...but it explain what you feel if you are in prison for 9000 days...a person that has been in prison for 9000 days has changed the land..and this person hasn't attack the persons who taked him into prison...that a real person...

[InaKatsCanne]

27 years... Imagine being in prison for that long.... I haven't been alive for 9,000 days.

[InaKatsCanne]

\27 years... Imagine being in prison for that long.... I haven't been alive for 9,000 days.

[spagnolina1993]

[LostXVampyre]

this is one song you have to listen to over and over again

[mceltv]

[DancingBProductions]

i have the version where this lady isnt randomly interupting the song

[folladordeprostis]

9000 days is the time mandela spent in jail??

[megatonydeath]

The song is one of the best ive heard in a while. i fell in love quick.

[springbok08]

A good movie although anyone that lived in SA over that period or has read A Long Walk To Freedom will tell you that the film was "hollywood-ised" but then I guess it would take more than one film to tell the true story of SA and Mandela

[daniz5n]

great song, great movie, great mandela(L)

[62rome]

very inspiring,it say's nothing is imposible.

[johngomez76]

que buena pelicula!!!! recomendadisima!



[0652224824]

my all time best movie...i learned a lot lessens and was highly motivated by this moving story of nelson mandela and 1995 rugby world cup.

[NikaOsminog]

reminds me of jamie cullumn gran torino. but yeah directed by clin eastwood so no surprise there

[whutdacrap]

Where can you get the version that's actually used in the movie? There's a woman singing it.

[AlexCottrell]

No need ive found it. Its called Breath and Life by Audio Machine

[AlexCottrell]

Any idea what the song name is to the UK Movie trailer to this movie? its being used now for the DVD release tralier theme to?

[Cypherfall]

normally id leave a spoiler, but that'd be pretty pointless seeing as how this is actually history.

[nana5811able]

QUIÉN CANTA ESTA HERMOSA CANCION????????

[TimmishTV]

Seen this movie a few times now, and love it. While it glosses over a fair few major issues in South Africa, it is a very moving and inspiring film.

[bungymaster69]

This is a MUST watch movie and learn lessons of how to live a life.

[ArturoBA1988]

Who are we to judge the life of one person? mandela may have killed people, but he changed the path of his soul, to change the future we have to forget the past.

[Death4want]

I guess only one word describes this film; epic.

[rumpleforske]

Love how they make Mandela seem so glorious. How many of you know that he killed 16 people by planting bombs? I'm from South Africa, I even thought that Mandela's role was played incredibly well. So much for non violent protest... and he wonders why he was imprisoned. Karma's a bitch..

[1985Shauny]

@rumpleforske If you bother to go back he admitted to orchastrating those bombings and even though the intention was for no one to get hurt people did. I'm sure its something he regrets, however under the persecution that us whites put them...you can't blame the ANC for feeling violence was the only option. BUT credit to the man for changing for the better, everybody makes mistakes but how you recover from those mistakes is what defines you. He is a legend and somebody worth looking up to!!!

[rumpleforske]

@1985Shauny A legend maybe, but definitely not somebody I'd ever look up to. I do respect him for what we did, and I know everyone makes mistakes, and we learn from them as humans, or we hope we do anyway. There's a lot more to it I guess. The whole communist thing going on down there while that was happening, and the ANC was pretty much a group of terrorists back then, and no I'm not racist, this is just how it was, and he was leading them. He changed for the best though, which is good...

[1985Shauny]

@rumpleforske Fair enough, not everybody has to love him. Interesting thing I read the other day -

1948 - 1989 (Apartheid) - 7000 politically related black deaths

1989 - 1994 (Transitional period) - 14000 deaths 92% of these deaths were Black on Black violence not apartheid

Since 1994... approximately 60 murders per day...20,000 per year...

I don't condone apartheid, but the current government is DEFINITELY not any better

[rumpleforske]

@1985Shauny Yeah, the only thing I don't like is when teachers here in Canada (where I currently live) teach about Mandela being such an almighty man, but they never mention anything about his past, so they don't allow people to form their own oppinions, but I won't complain I guess. That's very interesting and very sad... I hope something changes, but I just don't see that happening any time soon sadly.. 60 murders per day? That's extremely high, never thought it would be that high..

[wsfourie]

@1985Shauny "1989 - 1994 (Transitional period) - 14000 deaths 92% of these deaths were Black on Black violence not apartheid" The majority of these were from the Inkhata/ANC rivalry in Kwa-Zulu Natal and Johannesburg. The apartheid government tacitly encouraged this rivalry as it served their purposes and it was very much driven by the perverse society that apartheid set up.

[cometin6968]

@rumpleforske there's always time for forgiveness :)

[rumpleforske]

@cometin6968 Yeah.. I feel horrible for what the white people did, and I guess they had reason to take up arms. I just think that in an educational situation, all facts should be presented so that the students can make their own minds up, and not be forced to feel a certain way about someone.. but that's schools in Canada for ya..

[DaSlug32]

A movie about a terrorist. What was Clint thinking?

[dragonballZgokugohan]

this movie and song.......... Is so inspirational...

[andreafo79]

[YouthfulSoul87]

[mantletiger]

[uzzillamio]

The song it's like "It's now or never" (Elvis Presley), american version of "o sole mio", italian traditional song.

[Drem28]

This film shows what Nelson Mandela wanted shows us that forgiveness and hope, we can overcome our anger and fear for tomorow. Together united without considering difference amongst who live with us, we can achieve greatness. It would be an honor truly if I ever met Nelson Mandela.

[macanonas]

[aidanmccorry]

Awesome!!!

[helplessdancer991]

whenever I hear that song, I begin to mourn, what can I say, is a beautiful film

[matt10cool]

During Mandela's 27 years of political imprisonment (9000 days) his daily source of inspiration was a poem called "Invictus."

[mantletiger]

its around the amount of days Mandela spent in prison. he spent 27 years on Robben island

[probablyastapler]

because he was imprisoned for 27 years. 27 years is 9000 days

[naughtygearstick]

irish fan almost in tears, powerful film

[beastar202]

i wish the movie version was online :(

[yorkermiles]

[delaplujasorgim]

[ish0101]

[Bairemuth]

Yeah the acoustic version is still not what I'm looking for. Guess I will just have to pop back in the movie to listen to it again :)

[edriszare]

A beautiful song! :)

[ngraboys1]

great movie, loved the song in the movie

[moi2122]

Just watched this movie in Canada. really good movie, and for some reason im really in love with this song

[Reinpret]

I just watched this film, in Canada. Pretty awesome. I loved all the actors, and you can't go wrong with Eastwood directing, everything he touches turns to gold. The music really sets the mood with a hint of culture of those of us who have never been there.

[Personaltrainer9]

Comments to previous people! I believe you really have Love in you and passion to appreciate this movie, it was so touching, that i think cold people, whether americans or anyone human being, if they don't have a heart then they don;t have a soul!!!! we should all love each other no matter what..

[xxxricky]

If this film is not doing that well in the US, it is simply because America is a dumb society. I myself suspected the film was too 'foreign' in too many ways for their culture.... Americans are not forgiving ppl; Americans do not play rugby... and Americans in general simply are not complex enough to catch on to this great movie. Some hysterical ignorance is shown in some of the reviews. I am actually surprised the move had as much interest as it has. The soundclip here is awesome though,

[Link68Mr]

Ricky,

If the film isn't doing well in the US there are many facors. The least of which is a "dumb" US society.

I saw this movie last night and it is fantastic. I must admit however, my girl and I went to the theater to see Avatar but it was sold out. Invictus was our second choice. I am very happy that Avatar was sold out. I have spent my Sunday reading about Nelson Mandela, Invictus & the 1995 South African rugby team. I love when a movie inspires me. This is one such movie!

[kiomarv]

Probably the best Clint Eastwood film, if not the very best film period, that I have seen. It's unfortunate that it isn't doing very well in US theaters. In my opinion it should win Best Picture and Best Director, and Freeman should win Best Actor. Truly an inspirational film about an underrepresented topic in American film lore: apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa.. Thumbs up!

[LoveofArt]

It was unfortunate that the release coincided with Avatar.  It should have been released before or after.
