Isn't it weird sometimes, how something you don't have anything to do with in real life can nonetheless be a great inspiration to you via the movies?Take football, for instance, in Texas a religion, as they say in this movie, but zero relevance to my actual life as a musician...
And yet some of the most inspiring movies I've seen over the past year were about football.
Seems like God can use anything.
Even a 23 year old kid to kick some racist ass and change the course of history while he was at it, maybe - just maybe - paving the way for the elections of 2008, nearly 50 years after the incidents of the story this movie tells...
It certainly drives home the feeling of vindication the racially discriminated part of the American population must have felt after Obama licked McCain...
The acting & directing of this movie are both great. You'll have to blame the ending on real life & its sometimes weird ways.
