42 is a brilliant film about the legend that was Jackie Robinson. The film portrays the path that Jackie (Chadwick Boseman) took from playing for the Kansas City Monarchs to making it into the major leagues. It shows the difficulties he faced along the way with the problem of racism inherent in society.
Boseman was fantastic, as was Harrison Ford who played Branch Rickey. The acting throughout this film was phenomenal. You find yourself rooting for Jackie all the way and are happy to see it pay off towards the end.
Baseball is not a popular sport in the UK, and I am one of few baseball fans there. I came across this film by chance, and I count myself lucky for it.
Definitely worth a watch if you're a baseball fan.
