Weird huh? my last movie was clash of the titans. 5 out of 5.
This movie was actually on tv last night. I had no intention of watching it. There was just nothing else on. I even started watching it in the middle and STILL give it a perfect rating. Robbie has seen this movie before so he could cue me in on what was going on.
I love true stories. Its amazing to think, woah this really happened. I've always been a fan of history because i feel that its like a story. This movie fit me well. Now i normally hate sports movies, with the exception of Miracle and Leatherheads. I especially hate football movies. I even told robbie to find a different movie to watch when i heard what the movie was. We couldnt find a different one so i ended up watching it. Amazing.
For one the story was told impeccably well. It didn't drag in any spots and even the sports scenes were interesting to watch. I am guessing that this was not a Disney movie because it was not cheesy, but i could be wrong. All of the characters did an amazing job. I don't have one bad thing to say about it. The one thing i was surprised at is the racism. I did not know that people were so racist in the 70s?! This was the first integrated football team?! I thought we got past all of that in the fifties or at least after martin luther king. I guess i need to pay more attention during black history month. It was sad really.
Watch it. Unless like the rest of the world you've already seen it. In that case, watch it again.
hahaha! i can't believe that you haven't seen that movie before! (not making fun of you even though it sounds like it lol) very good movie, but i'm sure that i watched it at least once a year in one of my high school classes. the health teacher was the football coach so every student wanted it at least once. it's also one of our family favs!
ReplyDeleteit is a disney movie (hence why we could watch it in school). makes me want to cry each time... sigh. good movie. i also give it 5/5.
