The Master Debaters

Less depressing then the story of Emmite Till, but yet very inspiring, The Great Debaters over satasifies. So far, this is the only movie that deserves no less than 3 awards for it's great contribution to cinema, and what a break from stupidity it is. Denzel Washington both stars, and directs this film, but don't worry, this is not the only thing going for this movie. Produced by Oprah!!!!! No, that's not it either. Recently in school, we have started this thing call EXPLORATORIUM which stands for nothing. It's a subject were we investigate into random topics that we would like to know more about, and now we are doing the civil rights movement. Boy, was I lucky this movie came out. I knew the4 basics about the movement, and segregation, but this movie gave me huge idea of what black teens had to live through in the early 1900's. Not only that, but it's a very feel good movie, and although I'd hate to admit it, I almost cried about 4 times. Actually, who cares if I cry? Men do it too. Forest Whitakers son also stars as one of the students at Wiley College Of Negros.

Bottom Line: Must See Movie!!!! Grade: A-

Hey, that's not the proper title! (Though it is what your auntie happens to call it as well. Oh well. Great minds think alike.)
