Stars --- Chadwick Boseman, T.R. Knight, Harrison Ford
I didn't recognise Harrison Ford for the first 20 minutes. This movie was all that i expected it to be, and then more.
I expected it to be a Hollywood look at racism and a nod to how African Americans have struggled to gain equality in every facet of life. What i was not expected was to be made uncomfortable at the bigotry that Jackie Robinson had to face, and face with style.
I didn't expect to want to look away or cover my ears at the things that were done and said about a man, wanting to play a game he was good at.
What an amazing century I was born in that such rage and hostility could of existed, and now an African American sits in the oval office. Such change, even in my lifetime.
Be prepared to be moved.
