Review of The Great Debaters (2007) by Kurt J — 15 Mar 2010
"The movie is not really about how this team defeats the national champions. It is more about how its members, its coach, its school and community believe that an education is their best way out of the morass of racism and discrimination. They would find it unthinkable that decades in the future, serious black students would be criticized by jealous contemporaries for "acting white." They are black, proud, single-minded, focused, and they express all this most dramatically in their debating." - Roger Ebert.
I couldn't have disagreed with him more.
