The movie 42 is all about an African American male, Jackie Robinson, who makes it into the MLB in a time when it was said that whites and blacks were to be separate. Throughout the entire movie it shows him overcoming many racial obsticals thrown at him. In this time, espically in the south, there were many people that doubted the black community and there potential. Jackie Robinson led the way for many more African American athletes to push their way into playing higher level athletics and removing segregation. I think the movie was very accurate in the showing how tough it was at that time for black Americans in that time period along with how Jackie had a big influnce in baseball rules. Overall, I thought this was a great movie that depicted a a great time in history very well. The actor did a great job showing feeling through the screen. In the movie I also loved how they showed that Jackie Robison actually changed the minds and attitudes of the people that doubted them. Its was an inspiring movie to go and watch. I fully recommend all genders and ages to go and see this movie.
5/5 stars
