Still on the subject of sport movies- what on Earth is Clint Eastwood thinking making The Human Factor? I fully agree that Nelson Mandela’s life warrants at least one big-time film devoted to it, and that Eastwood is probably the man to give it the correct poise and class, but why specifically choose the storyof the attempt to host the rugby world cup in a bid to unite the fractured country? The film-watching community is just primed to receive the account of his early turbulent life, incarceration and subsequent villification on release- having just had the modern precedent set by the Che films. I personally want to see the conflict behind Mandela- the contradictions between the myth of the man and his gritty reality: as truly his personal story is an excellent allegory for the plight of his people.



I wonder whether this decision is in direct response to Spike Lee’s accusations of racism surrounding Flags of Our Fathers? As much as what he said was tosh, and deliberately inflammatory (what more can you expect from Lee?), you cant help but feel that there would have been a certain small percentage of the community who germinated that particular seed of doubt. ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Touted from day one as possibly the favourite for this year's Best Picture Award at the Academy Awards, Clint Eastwood's next movie is THE HUMAN FACTOR, a biopic of Nelson Mandela starring Morgan Freeman I what I expect to be his career defining role. 



The movie has been shooting for a few days now in South Africa and is based on John Carlin's novel Playing the Enemy and will be released in December, just in time for the Oscar season.



Academy favourite Eastwood who surprisingly last year didn't have a movie up for nomination despite releasing both THE CHANGELING and GRAN TORINO, but is riding off his most popular movie of all time as TORINO has grossed $142 million at the domestic box office. 

One wonders if WATCHMEN ($72 million) has any chance of the legs to equal that number. ]]></description>
