42 is my new favorite number

Rating: 10/10 (5 February 2019)

I thought that you his movie was amazing to not just watch, but learn from. A scene that was small but powerful was when a white boy yelled profanities only because his dad was. It showed that the environment can create a less desireable character. The movie was about a baseball player named Jack "Jackie" Robison. It showed his experience both on and off the field. As well as how deep the ignorance some people can stoop to. I didn't know anything about Jackie Robison other than he was a great ball player. I'm glad that I watched this to see how great of a person he was. Robison was able to turn the other cheek, despite attempts from couches and players trying to get a reaction. It makes me happy that at least a few of his teammates defended him when this happened. One of my favorite scenes from the movie is when one of the reporters said "they have a longer heel bone, so that gives him an unfair speed advantage". The second he said that, Robison hit a home run and the other reporters laughed at his statement. I have seen the main actor (Chadwick Boseman) in one other film called Black Panther and Harrison Ford in many others. I think both are very fine actors and can make a connection with the audience. I completely loved this movie and would watch it again if I had the chance. I really like the fact that they didn't sugar coat anything, they showed the reality of what was happening. I completely recommend it to all of my friends and any one who is thinks about watching it.
