42

   Today in English we watched a movie called 42.  42 is about baseball in a rather troubling time. The time was dealt in 1946 which lead to a big significance in the conflict in the story/movie. The main character is Jackie Robinson. Jackie Robinson is discriminated while playing baseball. During this time African-American's were segregated from the rest of players. Given that  Jackie Robinson was the first African American to participate playing with the other players. This made a huge conflict with the story itself and the main reason why Jackie Robinson was discriminated against. People had main concerns with Jackie participating with the other baseball players. People have given Jackie an insane amount of hate with almost anything.
   Anything dealing with letters of extreme threats towards killing him and anything towards his teammates discriminating them only for acknowledging him as a teammate. At first Jackie's teammates weren't as confident on the situation as it may have turned out to be, but in the end Jackie Robinson turned out to be a great success as a player and another step towards fighting for equal rights and equal perspective. One of Jackie's teammates was concerned given that someone had sent a hate latter for the purpose of the having Jackie on the team. Later on did that player know that Jackie has been threatened and even wanted dead given also he's in the same sate wanting to win and play baseball while living with his wife. Not only the players received plenty of hate of but all weight was on the coach. The coach nearly wanted a revolution standing up to society while simply showing how great of a player can be despite race or color of skin.
   Given the amount of emotions of the film as well as the story itself I would call it an ok movie. Giving that the movie had a great message remembering a great story and a player. The only thing I was concerned about was the ending. The ending was one swing, if i'm right isn't there a championship if not there last game didn't seem to be a big deal. Aside from that I'd say this movie is another reminder of discrimination.
