Walking Down Glory Road.
I just finished watching the film glory road it's a sport/drama basketball movie with a mostly black players which a lot of people didn't like because it was a very racist time in the 1960's I am going to give you my opinion on this film.
Don Haskins was trance furred to a new basket ball team (Texas Miners) He had to choose new players because the original team was not good at all. There were a lot of black players in the team and the public didn't like that very much. They were a the most winning team for most of the season then some one wrote racist term on the walls of there hotel rooms which bring the black players down and they lost a game. Which made Don Haskins very angry because they didn't play as a team.
Josh Lucas as Don Haskins. He fitted in well with his character and scene in the locker room was one of my top favorite with his performance in this film. Derik Luke as bobby Joe Hill. Showed he passion for basket ball very well even though he had a heart problem he still wanted to play basketball he risked his life for the team. Austin Nicholas as Jerry Armstrong. Jon Adolph Rupp. Even Jones as Moe Lba. Al Shear. Did a good job as Nevil Shed he showed a strong character for his race and passion for basket ball. He failed at times as an actor in some if his scenes.
When the teams were playing there games all the shot were set up and cheese because they are all swishes which in a real basketball they would get it of the back board of the ring. The locker room scene was good because they showed grate emotions.
The message that I got across that the black player (black people) were the minority in that year (1960's to 1970's.) which was not a good thing for the black people. So show more respect to people of all races. a I would recommend the movie to teenagers up ward. Younger kids wouldn't get the story as well as a more mature person. M would be the age that would be able to get the story and the message.
Movie Rating is B. star rating ***. Number rating 4.0
