Review of Coach Carter (2005) by Tsukasa A — 21 Jan 2013
The film is inspired by a true story. I was impressed by a quotation from Return to Love by Marianne Williamson.
Quote:
Timo Cruz: Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
Unquote:
Nelson Mandela had quoted the same part in his inaugural speech as President of the new Republic of South Africa in 1994.
