WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WERE AT A MOVIE THEATER AND WHEN THE MOVIE ENDED......PEOPLE CLAPPED!!!???
WELL IT HAPPENED TODAY AS I WENT TO SEE THE NEW TRUE LIFE STORY OF BASEBALL GREAT JACK ROBINSON - THE FIRST BLACK PRO BALL PLAYER IN THE BIG LEAGUES.
WOW....IT WAS A SPECIAL MOVIE INDEED!!
TEN THUMBS UP IF I HAD TEN THUMBS!
THE MOVIE COVERED ALL EMOTIONS....ANGER, CRYING, LAUGHTER, INSPIRATION.
OKAY THE BAD THING FIRST; ONCE MORE THIS MOVIE BROUGHT OUT THE DISGUSTING, TERRIBLE, EVIL, OF RACISM IN AMERICA AFTER THE SECOND WORLD WAR. BLACKS HAD COME HOME FROM FIGHTING FOR THE USA AND ALL THE FREE WORLD AGAINST HILTER AND HIS CLONES AND THE NAZIS.....CAME HOME TO A LAND WHERE RACISM WAS STILL VERY MUCH ALIVE; AND SURE ALIVE IN THE WORLD OF PRO BIG LEAGUE BASEBALL.
HAVE TO SAY IT AGAIN, AS I'VE DONE IN THE PAST: AMERICA (USA) HAD ONE WICKED, DISGUSTING, CENTURY AFTERE THE CIVIL WAR (THAT FREED THE BLACKS) AND THAT WAS RACISM AND ALL THE EVIL ATTITUDES THAT WENT WITH IT. AND THAT WICKED ATTITUDE SURE PREVAILED IN BASEBALL.
NOW THE GOOD STUFF:
ONE OWNER OF THE THE DOGERS HAD THE STRENGTH TO WANT TO EMPLOY IN HIS TEAM A BLACK MAN.... HE WAS A CHRISTIAN MAN AND KNEW THE EVIL OF RACISM.....HE STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE IN A WHITE LEAGUE OF BASEBALL, AND IN AN AMERICA WHERE RACISM WAS STILL VERY MUCH ALIVE, AND FACED THE SPORTING WORLD AND THE WORLD OF AMERICA; HE NEW JACK ROBINSON HAD THE POSSIBLE STAR QUALITY FOR HIS TEAM.
IT IS THE STORY OF DETERMINATION BY A BASEBALL OWNER, ONE BLACK MAN, AND HIS LOVELY WIFE, AND FINALLY OTHER WHITE MEN, THAT STARTED TO FREE AMERICA FROM THE EVIL OF RACISM.
AT TIMES THE MOVIE HAD US ALL LAUGHING, AT TIMES I'M SURE ANGRY AT RACISM....... THE EFFECT WAS IN THE END INSPIRING...... AND A CLAPPING OF HANDS WHEN THE MOVIE ENDED.
YES, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WERE AT A MOVIE IN A MOVIE THEATER, AND THE AUDIENCE CLAPPED AT THE END OF THE MOVIE?
IT HAPPENED TODAY FOR ME. GLAD I COULD PARTICIPATE.
THIS "NUMBER 42" MOVIE IS WITHOUT QUESTION THE BEST MOVIE SO FAR OF 2013.
MAKE SURE YOU GO TO SEE IT! BEAUTY, INSPIRATION, COMES THROUGH THE FIRE TO GLORIOUS VICTORY!
