SPORTS FEATURE ON THE MOVIES!!

The Great Debaters is the finest movie ever made about the American Dream. Which was made in 2007 December 31st by Sherwood Ross at (9:43 am).

At a time when Hollywood producers are dipping for content into the gutters of gore, director Denzel Washington has created an electrifying message of nonviolent reform that once again lifts the motion picture art to the stars.

Based on a true story set in Marshall, Texas, in 1935, Robert Eisele's screenplay captures the degradation of racial segregation as few films ever have done. Using the example of segregated Wiley College's debate team.

It shows how African-Americans had to claw their way inch by inch toward social inclusion. The team struggled for the opportunity to debate white schools and, finally, based on their incredible string of victories, to debate and to defeat Harvard while a national radio audience listened in.

In fact, Wiley debated national champion University of Southern California, and the fact that the producers put in the bunk about Harvard for dramatic impact is a cheap fabrication unworthy of the overall production.)

The Film is also a morality tale, it is very different. Its message is that there is another way; that hard work, enterprise, preparation and perseverance pays off. It shows how the system can be changed without resorting to Mafia methods.

The inspiration of Mahatma Gandhi is cited. The film's script speaks against violence in the scene where the motoring Wiley College debaters accidently come upon a lynching and are lucky to escape from the mob with their lives. (In some years, during

Yes, as it happened, Wiley's debate team had a coach that was a Communist, and one team member resigned because of it. The others debaters saw through the label to recognize that Communists are also human beings, even if they believe in a different economic approach to organizing society.

Again, Americans were so frightened of Communism they believed that if Viet- Nam went Communist, all Asia would follow. This "domino theory," of course, proved to be what college debater’s call "fallacious."

The idea that all capitalists are good and all communists are evil is simplistic beyond childishness. Maybe what "The Great Debaters" suggests is that there are two sides to every question; that no one economic system has got all the answers; that no one race and no one nation is superior, and that, over time.

What I have learn in this Picture is to learn more in our school and the country at all about Film subject and copy all good things in order to learn perfectly.

And to create in the schools more debate teams, like that of Wiley College and more think like James Farmer.
