See The Great Debaters. While acknowledging I have very simple tastes in film and am easily amused, I also submit that it is a beautiful and moving film.
I recall hearing a critic once say that the most popular flims – or the greatest films – all address issues of racial reconciliation. Everything from Star Wars to Porkies… errr, Gone with the Wind.
The Great Debaters isn’t an all-time great, but it is great. It is beautifully shot – tenderly shot. The performances are, across the board, terrific. Forest Whitaker’s performance is spectacular and his on-screen son, Denzel Whitaker (no relation to either Washington or Whitaker) equips himself very nicely.
Enough pseudo review. Go see the film.
