Coach Carter
The film is based on a true story. The real Ken Carter was on the set and was pleased with Samuel L. Jackson’s performance.
Ken Carter is a former basketball player appointed to coach the high school basketball team in the underprivileged town of Richmond. As an experienced player and knowledgeable mentor, Mr. Carter quickly lifts the team to the top of the standings. Under his guidance, yesterday’s junkies become winning athletes.
Yet, in the middle of a great season, the coach makes an uncompromising decision and closes the practice facility until athletes get a decent grade point average in all academic disciplines. The team suffers several technical defeats in the championship and the blinding joy of recent victories is replaced by anger, disappointment, and confusion. Parents and school administrators feel the same way. They put the successes of the present far above the ghostly future. But Coach Carter is relentless, proving that he is the only person who genuinely cares about the students.
I, Tonya
Figure skating is an exquisite sport for spectators. Its participants look like fairy tales: flying over the shiny ice in dazzling costumes, and beating the audience to tears of emotion with their invisible wings. The graceful ice nymphs seem like ideals of toughness and gentleness, beauty and charm. Yet, Tonya Harding is an outsider in this Garden of Eden.
The first American figure skater to master the triple axel seems to have been born and lived in hell. An oppressive mother, violence from her husband and humiliation from the figure skating powers that saw in the girl not talent and a desire to win but a bad temper and questionable background.
In such circumstances, Harding did not play the fragile fairy and was not afraid to show the world her nature as a street fighter. But the biopic about Tonya Harding is not a story of willful victory over other people’s prejudices and skepticism. It is an investigation into the true causes of the scandalous story of the champion’s fall.
The Blind Side
The adaptation of the novel by Michael Lewis, based on the story of American football player Mike Oher. A film with an over-the-top level of goodness – strictly contraindicated to unabashed cynics and those who like to throw in a harsher tragedy.
So, the future famous football player Mike is an African-American from a family of an alcoholic drug addict and a man with a prison cell record. Mike is a real giant, but he looks so defenseless that even first graders five times shorter can hurt him. Mike makes his living in foster homes or on the street, constantly changing schools, and catastrophically failing the curriculum.
Once again homeless, Mike dramatically walks in the rain to nowhere. That’s when Leigh Anne Tuohy notices him. There is a struggle of conscience and reason in her eyes. Yet, in the end, the woman takes the lonely, uneducated big man into her home and her family.
Mike joins the high school football team, and thanks to the support and love of his new family, succeeds in both football and his studies. The movie captures the image of a healthy family with the right values. It is rare in film as well as in reality.
