I can't pick just one favorite scene. The entire movie as a whole was really amazing and inspirational. The plot of the movie was that football is a way of life for some people. The local school board was forced to integrate a black school and a white school. Both of the schools were really passionate about football. Having put both of the high schools together forced them to combine the football teams. Footballs great tradition was put to the test. I knew that schools were segregated, but I didn't know that school boards could force integration amongst a black and a white school. I just thought that progressively white people just started accepting and almost welcoming black people into ¨their¨ areas. I have seen many movies set in this time period. I think every movie i´ve seen regarding segregation has been an awesome movie. In the movie, the boys on the football team got along pretty quickly. I thought that was a little bit weird because usually from what i´ve learned throughout school, it was not rare for whites to be absolute jerks for no apparent reason to POCs. Boaz Yakin was the director of this movie. I wholeheartedly believe that he did a really amazing job in portraying this movie the way that he did. The way he directed the boys in getting along with one another was honestly so beautiful.
I liked how the boys got along rather quickly. I liked how the movie wasn't ALL about the boys and football. They incorporated a couple other things into the movie. I would 10/10 recommend this movie to my friends. This movie was really just amazing.
