COACH CARTER(2005)
I'm not a fan of most sports movies with few exceptions!
While this is a decent enough movie, and Samuel L. Jackson
does great in his role, it's just not my cup of tea! However,
this really is a great story and a well done representation
of it! B
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
"Coach Carter" tells the story of a basketball coach who
refuses to give up on a bunch of failing high school students
in a deprived area of the city. The way Ken Carter insists
and persists to help the students using his unconventional
ways, being the call of his duty, is truly remarkable. There
are so many thought provoking lines from Carter, such as
saying "That's exactly the problem" when responding to the
principal's accusation of him taking the highlight of the
students life away. How Carter motivated the students to be
champions, not just in the basketball court, but in life as
well, is truly inspiring and emotional. I really enjoyed this
film. - Gordon-11
