Review of American Pastime (2007) by Alex Y — 20 Jul 2008
Well, two of my favorite subjects combined into one well-told story: baseball and World War II. This is a better movie of the prejudice and oppression of Japanese-Americans internment than of the game of baseball.
My sole criticism from a sports fan's perspective is that the actual baseball talent depicted was not believable. It made me wonder if they could have casted better athletes for stunt doubles or actors who could also pitch a pretty good fastball.
As for the perspective of the war and American ignorance, this film tells it all. Overall, a movie that most would enjoy.
