So I saw 42 last night...

[Lefty Gunz]

I enjoyed it

 

[dontreadthis]

very predictable, had a few corny moments. acting wasn't bad though...

 

[Schmoove]

I'm just calling it like I see it, breh. 42 stinks on ice.

You see it that way because you can't accept it as it is.

42 was a good flick. Was it a little cheesy? Yeah.

You probably thought Forrest Gump was shyt too, didn't you?

 

[jwinfield]

All race relation films should be like Django.

So a movie about Jackie Robinson should've been like Django

 

[Colilluminati]

I thought is was pretty good...well focused, and defined. Robinson was so well accomplished all around in his life, that they couldn't possibly focus on capturing his entire outside of baseball. Like 'Lincoln' they stuck to one spefic issue and developed it into its own story....that was one thing I really liked about it...

*SPOILER*


Epic scene though is when he was up at bat against the Phil's, and being heckled, and then after getting out, he proceeded to run into the tunnel away from everyone, and unleashed his anger...that was Oscar worthy.

Did you watch the movie in 3d or something?

The whole movie was about why white people felt the way they did.

I also found it real funny how they had to show the WHITE baby sitter for no reason.That scene had no purpose at all.

Forrest Gump was trash. You mean to tell me they actually made a movie about a retarded white guy where the only Black character not only dies after a brief scene on camera but he also happens to be even more retarded than the white guy? Outrageous. Fvck Forrest Gump.

So a movie about Jackie Robinson should've been like Django

They should have flashed into visualizations of what Jackie WANTED to do but couldn't. Like there should have been multiple scenes where he is conflicted with his urge to crack a bat over a whiteboy's face. You see it play out, but you know it's just in his head. Then you get to see the agony of his struggle. Kinda like American Psycho, but instead seeing the wandering mind of the model corporate employee you get to see the wandering mind of the model professional athlete. I would have loved to see that movie.

But instead we Air Bud: Most Valuable Negro.

LAME!

 

[I SEEN THAT LIGHT]

The Nigerian can't relate to 42 because it's about a black man overcoming white racism, not eating their chicken scraps or letting them take a shyt in your bathtub.

Or letting a white girl call you a ****** in front of everybody and being like, "Yeah, I am. "

Or going on a messageboard where they make racist caricatures of you and being like, "yeah, I am a monkey, aren't I? "

Or visiting a radio show hosted by a known racist and being all with him so he thinks you're one of the "good ones."

 

[jmegamar]

It was aight. Nothing too special. If they went hardcore racism with it, i dont know if it would have been better. Some people on this board and spike lee complained about django being too racist. I guess they decided to just play it safer.

 

[Schmoove]

They showed Jackie getting called a PORCH MONKEY in front of his wife by Satan's spawn.

How is that not raw breh?

"Porch monkey" in cinema is NOT RAW it's SCHMALTZY COMEDY just like nearly ALL the racism in that flick:



How did we have a Jackie Robinson movie with not ONE racist brick thrown? They even threw a racist brick in Remember the Titans.

You mean to tell me that Jackie Robinson never confided any antimos about white people with the few black people that were allowed to roll with him? You mean he and that writer never were on some "Whew, I'm glad you're not white," when they met up? Nothing? Jackie was just some super boring bat bot with a moderate temper? They could have easily replaced Robinson with Air Bud himself and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

 

[Jesus]

look like a basic made for tv movie

only blks will think otherwise because its the one movie they have thats not tyler perry

STFU uncle tom nikka

 

[filial_piety]

How is that not raw breh?

I don't know what 'raw' he's talking about either.

What is he expecting? Jackie to be a druggie? A woman beater? An alcoholic?

Well he wasn't...which is precisely why he was the one chosen.

The story was an accurate portrayal.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

I dont waste my money watchin movies where white folks treat us like dogs.

So the Jackie Robinson story should've featured scenes where he's beating the shyt out of white people, hanging out with his boys talking about how much he hates cacs and fukking pawgs? :kobe:

 

[the cac mamba]

They even played the whole walking out to glory horns when Jackie exposed his d!ck to his white teammates.
