Take young people to see this film

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 2013)

This is such a powerful story and it is powerfully told. Young people should see this film to understand our history. I took my 13 year old and he was riveted, outraged, saddened and uplifted. The movie doesn't get into the glory days....it tells the story of the beginning...how unthinkable it was, what he had to face. I thought there were some truly brilliant moments where I couldn't speak. Powerful lessons here. Brilliant acting by all involved. Great to see Harrison tackle such a crusty, older character and he does a great job. Chadwick Boseman and Nicole Behari are stellar and pitch perfect. TR Knight is unrecognizable and hilarious. Chris Meloni fantastic....and John McGinley just superb as the baseball announcer. No one took you "out" of the period....they all did a great job and I highly recommend this movie.
