shame the PRIDE and progression of thinking is not yet instilled in some of our race...the HUMAN race!!! So many black men still only seem to want to marry white women (like the star of this film), and so many black women only want to be lighter with straighter hair...so many white women want tans and bigger butts and so many white men think black women are only for sex!!!
We are ALL beautiful cause God made us and it is nice to see when people aim high and achieve like in this film :-)
@romanian1gigollo First off, you spelled honor wrong. Dumb ass, Second off " Pride " is one of the seven deadly sins, in which you have a desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to acknowledge the good work of others, and excessive love of self (especially holding self out of proper position toward God).
Jim Ellis came to our community college here in idaho yesterday and gave us a little background story of his life. he is amazing, quiet an inspiration! and way funny! love this movie
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wow! reading some of these comments, seems a lot of people are a bit delusional on their beliefs, on both sides. now im not gonna say wat race i am, frankly, it is irrelivant. i will say however, wat seperates us is not capacity for knowledge, or physical ability. not even potential or drive. wat seperates one human being from another (regardless of race), is opertunity, privilage and circumstance, and that is essentially the truth.
well mate its not opertunity, privilage or circumstancees that makes us evolve or success. a poor guy can be more successful than a rich guy at age of 30.
only thing that maters, the only power that exist in this world (not even gods have this power) its POWER OF WILL.
Dont bother praying for me Im happy just the way I am Im not a racist i just see how it is and whoever it was that said ppl likeme are bringing the world down might want to focus that blame on the blacks and other minorities for all the drive by shootings that hit little 8year oldchildren
best movie ever. amazing story, showing a lot about the sport swimming, along with being inspirational, telling a very important story. love this movie :)
the hottest singers are black the best basket ballers are black admit the fact we just know how to do things better!!!and its gna be like that for ever
WOW! Terrence Howard is such a good actor! It terms of black actors, he's easily the next Denzel Washington. Outide of race, he's just perfect in whatever I see him in (August Rush, The Hunting Party, The Brave One). Ironically Hustle and Flow doesn't interest me even though thats what he got the oscar nod for but I'm glad to see his star rising
some guy a while back said "whites own all opympic sports, white power"... now im not black, im actually white, but i do run track on a primarily black team, and trust me man, blacks DONT own olympic sports, research a bit...
I think Kimberly Elise should have gotten an Oscar nomination for "Woman Thou Art Loosed," released in 2004. For those who don't know about the film, please look it up. It was based on the top selling book. It wasn't pushed mainstream, but if it was, it would have defined her career because her role was very deep.
hear hear. i'm not racist, but all these movies about racial segregation are getting old. i understand some people did great things, but repeating it just gets old.
Alright!!! Another minority coach & student athletes inpirational movie! It's been a while since Remember the Titans, Coach Carter, Gridiron Gang, etc etc etc... just can't have enough of those movies... An African american coach takes on a underdog team and turns them in to champions while learning about tolerance and responsibility.... so unpredictable!
Your right..we cant never get enough of these. There is nothing wrong with these films and its based on a true story so wtf are you complaining about. Not intrested then dont go see it..simple.
from what it seems, this movie is about a bunch of guys who almost drowned at first, but over a short period of time, became great swimmers. now, the idea just seems pathetic, because i'm a swimmer, and i know it would take at least a couple years to become fast, and unless this story takes place over a long period of time, it isn't realistic.
This is a real story and it does happen over a while in real life I don't know how the movie depicts it though. I know Jim Ellis he's a teacher again now(my geometry teacher a year ago =D) They may have changed some things for the movie to make it more interesting but this is a true story what he did and it was a big accomplishment, especially back in the 70's when civil rights still hadn't fully taken hold in the country and people still thought African-Americans were inferior to whites.
aw shit, everytime a black movie comes out racist motherfuckers come out of thier holes(black or white or whatever the hell your race is)and start some shit with intelligent people. Seriously this needs to stop.
Shut the fuck up rpdmm7. You are just jealous you aint even black. We're intelligent people, or, if not, more intelligent than you and it's people like you that make our society worse than it may already be so do your scrawny ass a favor and follow your own damn advice.
oh great another black power that was made just as an excuse to listen to these whiners who complain about events that happened over 50 years ago. Do blacks really think its a coincidence that 80 percent of the people in jails are black? Do us a favor and quit whining, maybe spend a little more time m aking yourselves useful to society
Stfu this movie is about black people doing something positive in the community if you payed attention to the friggin trailer. They went from being low people to a champion swim team and they did good things in the world.
with you on their side ´no needs to offend the "black race" you ll do the job for every one.
you embarrass the whole race mate, try to act and speak like a civilized person, and ppl will start to have respect for you and your mates.
dont get me wrong im not rasist, im not even a fan of "race", we all same. and i have hard time to belive a gangster sits and youtube, youll probably go and play some PC game after this, and head to high/mid school.
Dude the only black person ive ever seen swim was from newberg high his name was jordan anderson hes amazing he was at district last saturday and he won first in all his events.
My old natatorium is featured as the championship pool. Go it, even though we got kicked out for two months so they could film, and had to swim in outdoor pools. But we got nice new paint.
