Good movie, but not factual

Rating: 5/10 (8 September 2007)

The problem I had with this movie, is not that is was not good, but it was not very realistic. I grew up 5 min from TC Williams high school during that time, and the Virginia they showed in that movie was not the Virginia I lived in. That school is 5 mins from Washington DC, no one I knew talked like those people with thick southern accents. Also I had plenty of black friends, and I can'nt ever remember going out to eat and not seeing blacks and whites together. I was very offened by the way they portrayed our area. Other things minor. TC Williams did not play night home games. ANNADALE high school colors were red. And TC killed teams, (they only had one close game) I wish when Hollywood would do movies portrayed as fact, they would be more factual. And stop portraying everyone who lives east of Calif as a redneck racist
