42 Review (2013)

He is a hero for the city of Brooklyn. Jackie Robinson, number 42 played for the Brooklyn Dodgers back in 1946.

This is the story of Robinson as he makes his professional career in baseball. Chadwick Boseman who brings Jackie Robinson to life, is a really good actor. He really played Robinson well. Jackie Robinson never took any racism from nobody. Branch Rickey played by Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones) is a major league team executive with great ideas to make money not only for him, but for his team. He notices Robinson and sees that he can play so he gives him a shot. When he first starts playing with the white guys, no one likes him and gives him attitude. Robinson soon makes his way up and gets signed by the Brooklyn Dodgers who are now the Los Angeles Dodgers.

He was a negro baseball player, the first negro baseball player to make it to the MLB. When people made fun of him, Robinson didn't get frustrated at them, he just ignored them completely and didn't let it bother him. He loved the game of baseball and he wanted to prove that he could play just like anyone else no matter what color they are. To this day in the MLB, there are all sorts of different races. From African American to Hispanic to Japanese. If you have what it takes, then you should be allowed to play in the MLB.

I give this film 4 out of 5 stars.
