Review of 42 (2013) by Mark T — 22 May 2017
MLB(Major League Baseball) celebrates Jackie Robinson 's day every April.'.All the players must wear his number 42 jersey in order to respect one of the memorable player in baseball history.This is a movie about him.
His life is well-known.When I was in Japan. I heard his name.Baseball is popular in Japan. I learned new facts at this movie. .Branch Rickey who was the president of Brooklyn Dodgers made a great decision. to hire Robinson despite many oppositions.Harrison Ford played Mr.Rickey.
As a player, He was not a home run hitter. He ran fast. He stole bases. But he became a player at MLB when he was 28 years old because he had to serve US Arm during World War 2.What if there was no discrimination and war ? If he had played at MLB earlier he would have broken more records on major league.
This is a great movie about a great player.
