This is my husband's FAVORITE movie and we watch it a l...ot. I think this is a great movie that the entire family can watch. I am a big fan of Densel Washington's movies anyway, because there is never a lot of cursing. The movie is a great lesson on life because it covers some of what has been going on for centuries now, racism. But it shows how if we work together, there is nothing that we cannot accomplish as a human race not as black or white but just as loving and caring people. Again, great, great movie!!!
The fact this movie was based on a true sto...ry appealed to me. This was a story based on a high school football team struggling with racial prejudice when a black coach (Denzel Washington's character) joins the coaching staff of a previously all-white school at the beginning of integration in the south. It was a wonderful characterization of how learning and understanding of your fellow human being can change your attitude and enrich your life. I bought this movie as a gift to my 10-year-old grandson hoping he would take from it a very valuable lesson.
disliked the fact that even in the 7...0's whites and blacks were still segretated and some people to this day don't like blacks liked the fact that it is a true story and how one man convinced a whole town that you should judge a man by his soul not by his looks an excellent movie on how white and black football players came together to have an undefeated season in foot ball and go on to be runnerup in the national championship. i would recommend this movie to anyone of any color
I have loved this movie since it first came out. I let a co-worker... borrow my copy and she said she never had it. So I have one and I'm doing my happy dance!
