Baseball's Sacred Number

Rating: 8/10 (20 March 2019)

This is my favorite baseball and historical movie. My dad took me to see this when I was 12 years old and it showed me the horrors of racism. Chadwick Boseman who plays Jackie Robinson does an amazing job portraying one of my heroes. Branch Rickey, played by Harrison Ford, is funny and the acting is very well done. It is crazy that one man started to change the entire sport of baseball for the better. I liked the baseball parts when it showed Jackie Robinson's skill and I think as long as someone is good at something it doesn't matter what they look like. Obviously the racism was awful but I am glad they empathized it to show how horrible it was (and still is in some places). I didn't like the part when the white child was yelling the n-word because everyone else was but I guess the directors and writers meant for that to hurt. I think the movie was historically accurate but I don't know a lot about what it was like back then. I think this movie is really good and would recommend it to anyone.
