"The great debaters"

« on: June 24, 2008, 09:53:42 PM »

I recently watched this movie called "The great debaters" starring Denzel Washington.

This movie is based on a true story. It is very inspirational and uplifting.

I recommend everybody to watch!

I haven't seen this film yet but will try to watch it this weekend.
Another film I liked which is also based on a true story is "the bank job".

The Great Debaters is a really good film and I usually recommend this to my university students after a class debate. As R-learning said it is very inspiring, and also historical so you learn something about life at the time.

I think I would like anything that had Forest Whitaker in it; he's a fantastic actor in my opinion.
