This could be a spoiler, then again it may not be, take it as you like.
I have read the guys comment on this movie, and I was thinking to myself, what was he smoking? The movie doesn't show the whole world coming together because of sports. The town in the movie came together because they had a great football team that just so happened to be inter-racial. It wasn't about trying to heal the world of racism, the movie shows how a team full of racists, and a team full of African-Americans can not only come together of the football field, but in life as well. I think you should pop the dvd in your player again, and see what the movie is really talking about. Assuming does nothing but show YOUR ignorance.
This movie was a very good movie. I wasn't around back when the movie was set, but I did hear from a guy who went to that very school, the very year the movie was set, and he said the racial tension wasn't as bad as the movie suggests, but you have to look at what the movie is symbolizing. That a town full of racist bigots can come together and support a team that is racially diverse. I give Denzel a 25, give the guy who plays Coach Yoast a 20, and I give the rest of the film a total score of 8.5. It does lack certain things, but this is by far one of the best, if not the best, sports films of all time.
