[Film] Coach Carter

Posted : 1 year, 11 months ago at Dec 11 16:16

Based on a true story, Coach Carter is more about the social problems facing the poor black students in the states than the sport of basketball. While the movie is mediocre in all artistic aspects, it's message is important and inspirational. Yes, the movie is emotionally manipulative with its embarrassingly corny dialogue and clichéd storylines, but its message about the failure of the American education system to help the black students ("it's designed for them to fail") and how important education is to stop the cycle of violence and poverty in the black community makes the movie worth watching.

Great contribution to similar movies

Movies like "Stand and Deliver" and "Freedom Writers" came to mind while watching this movie. FW centered on identity and connecting with students, but in "Rocky" fashion CC presents Jackson as a coach like Mickey.

And like Rocky, the team is the underdog, and to make more sense of the movie they seem to be in a lower league. They have to succeed past their low expectations on the court and in their academics. There is also one more lesson.
