Excellent Movie

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2006)

This was a great, great, GREAT Movie!
Denzel Washington plays Coach Herman Boone. He was an African-American football coach brought in to be the Head Coach of a recently desegregated Virginia High School back in 1971. Based on true events, there may have been limitations on Artistic License, but this story may not have needed much of that.
I laughed, cried, and was so moved by the actors in this film. If, however, I have seen this correctly, I can't believe that this film, nor the actors in this film, were not even nominated for Awards; i.e. Academy Award, Oscar, etc. It did received some (please don't hate me for using this term, I just hadn't heard of these awards) minor awards and nominations, but not the "Big" Awards. My feeling is that, the movie itself, Denzel Washington, Will Patton, and many of the other young stars should have been considered with nominations.
