hatred scenes made up!

Rating: 1/10 (20 February 2006)

The scene where the ball player is beaten and dunked into a commode and the scene back at the motel were made up! Not embellished, not artistic license, but literally made up! An Oregon writer who was at the 1966 Oregon-Texas Western game depicted knew immediately that wasn't what happened and contacted the director who finally admitted making up these 2 scenes (plus the Ore-TW basketball game slant) to make the movie more race intensive. I was a college basketball player then and remember the season well and pulled hard for Texas Western to beat UK. I took my wife to see this movie and told her I wasn't aware that the scenes depicted ever happened, but I would have been just as embarrassed then as I was when we left the theater. I think Hollywood owes the whole nation an apology and that it run on theater trailers everywhere for the next year.
Please boycott any more movies made by him.
