Review of Glory Road (2006) by Acaiberry — 20 Mar 2015
To all my baller homies, yall need to watch this movie as it is both historically groundbreaking and purely inspirational. To give the basic summary before you watch, it is about an underdog in the Texas Western (now UTEP) basketball team in the 60s that overcame all odds to achieve the unbelievable. I first watched it in seventh grade but I have watched it two more times after that because it was really thrilling to watch.
Ignore the haters because those guys really don't understand the message of the movie. That message, hopefully yall will find out really speaks out to any man or woman regardless of background. Now I will say the storytelling is bland but as formulaic as it is, how else would you really capture the journey of Don Haskin's team?
Musicwise, it all fits and there weren't any problems in the acting. You'll wanna watch this with a friends and if you're really a fan, get the war paint ready because you're about to be part of the Texas Western basketball team.
Word to describe: legendary. the main character is a fore figure of the game of basketball and this movie does just enough to make his story known.
