42, The Story of Jackie Robinson.


 
42


            42, a dramatic biopic chronicling the adventures and struggles of Jackie Robinson, was, in my opinion, a wonderful movie. It showed how Jackie pushed through prejudice and racism to become the first Black man in the white MLB.  What Jackie did was important not only for baseball, but racism in America, and the world as a whole. He broke a color barrier, and inspired anyone of any color to follow their dreams without fear of prejudice and stereotyping. I personally think the movie is a wonderful movie that describes the things Black people have had to do to get where we are now, and is up there with such classic films like Tuskegee Airmen and Malcolm X deal with civil rights and racism against black people.
