November 30, 201510 yr Looks like your typical rah rah movie that Hollywood has been churning out since Remember the Titans. The Express, 42, McFarland, USA, Glory Road. Scrappy underdog overcomes a tough upbringing and the racism of the early/mid 20th century to inspire everyone.

Scrappy underdog overcomes a tough upbringing and the racism of the early/mid 20th century to inspire everyone. What is your point? You think it is a waste of time maybe? It can't be as bad as 42 was.
November 30, 201510 yr What is your point? You think it is a waste of time maybe? It can't be as bad as 42 was. Yeah. I'm burned out on those movies. Especially the way they make up/slant characters to make them stereotypical, cartoonist villains. Of course you've got the Nazis in this one so they don't have to embellish real life to make them look worse than they were. These movies are all the same. Just the sport changes.

I just don't care for the stylized, wink at the real story treatment that Hollywood gives them.
