Resolved Documentary
Loading...
Uploaded by debatedoc on Jun 23, 2007
The fascinating complexity of high school debate gives way to a portrait of the equally complex racial and class bias of American education in Greg Whiteley's riveting documentary. As inner-city debaters Richard and Louis (of Long Beach's Jordan squad) challenge the usefulness of the jargon-filled, 400-word-per-minute style of modern debate by trying to refocus on personal experience and dialogue, Matt, a gifted traditional debater, moves from strength to strength in his bid to win the national Tournament of Champions. Alternately inspiring and polarizing, Resolved reveals a constantly shifting sport that is as much philosophy as competition. myspace.com/debatemovie

@cruelshark Actually it helps you speak much better than before since your forced to try to make your speech sound great while speaking at an extremely fast pace. And it also makes your speaking extrmeely clear.

Cramming point looks ugly when compared to talking sense with perfect pauses to make sure people understand what they are talking about. Debating ability is looked by many as stepping stone for a political or legal career. If one of these debaters were to speak in the same way in a court or in front of an electorate then they would never succeed.

@reillyinfamous He knew he would get to it in time. You're calling somebody a novice because you don't like the roadmap? Is that what you do in a debate round? Don't vote for them, their order is wrong?
