"Glory Road is sensational, one of the best movies of 2006

Rating: 9/10 (9 July 2006)

Last night, I watched this movie. From the previews, I was expecting another sports movie. I was expecting it to be just like "Remember the Titans", which by the way is a fantastic movie. I was happily proved wrong! What I witnessed was a terrific movie! It was not at all like "Remember the Titans." This movie was its own original piece of work. The movie is based on a true story. The plot is about a girls college basketball coach, Coach Don Haskins, who picks boys to play basketball for him. The story is set in 1965, when racism was unfortunately high. What Don says is that he doesn't see color when he picks for boys to play. He picks skill, hard work, etc. His family has to move into a mens college doormroom so he can coach. He picks seven African-American boys to play for him. They have skill, and they can work hard. Don picks five white boys to play for him. They work hard, and have skill. Unfortunately, some people only saw color. They didn't see hard work or skill. They only saw the color of their skin. The team faced racism. A ton of racism. However, their incredible story made history.
This is a very high quality movie. It is a great movie for anyone 12 and over. The acting is superb! You didn't feel like you were watching a movie, you felt like you were watching the real story as it really happened.
