It could not be worse but not the worst

Rating: 3/10 (24 July 2019)

This movie is nonsensical, not only the timeline doesn't match but the method to overcome racial differences is a bit shallow. Firstly, the school in real life have been racially integrated before the merging happen in 1965. White people are portrayed as the hero in this movie as they are portrayed to be the antagonist yet they resolve the conflict themselves. Although this movie seemed to support black in a glance, the black are portrayed as the weak who can only rely on white to resolve their conflict which can be seen through how Bertier (white) sacrifices himself in order for society to approve the blacks. It's ironic that some stereotypes regarding social class are still imbedded through this movie although the main objective was to discard those classes. Throughout the movie, white are shown to be prideful shown where Bertier (student) confront coach Boone (black) degrading him.
It's yet another cliché plot where coach Boone (black) took over coach Yoast (white) job position and fight for their place which in the end agrees to accept each other. Blacks are portrayed as dictatorial through coach Boone showing how they are thirsty for power destroying the good impression towards black. This movie also shows black as the upper social class through their clothe when they are not.
