  The narrative is a bit manipulative with a few shortcomings, but the brilliant direction, outstanding musical score and terrific lead performance make this biographical drama so compelling. Chadwick Boseman lives and breathes as Jackie Robinson. His presence turns it all the personal and emotional. With its heart at the right place, it ends up as one highly satisfying watch.

  Rest in Peace Chadwick Boseman

  So after the (personally) shocking death of the talented Chadwick Boseman I choose to revisit some of his early works as a lead. Lord knows I've tried to watch Get On Up, but I've tried like three times and never lead myself to finish it for some reason. Boseman is great, but something about the film itself and the way its edited together always has me checking off.

  With that in mind, I decided to give this one a try, and what I surprise I got. Sure, its a bit too Oscar bait-y and the way its written it sticks to a lot of the formula from these types of sports biopics. But Boseman presence…

  THIS IS A REAL MOVIE FIGHTING RACISM NOT DA 5 BLOODS WHICH LOOKS LIKE A DIRTY BANNER MADE IN ORDER TO GET THE EASY APPLAUSE.

  I’m pretty sure that this performance and Get on Up one, are the best performances of Chadwick Boseman that you will find. 

  This is a movie based on real events of how black people got a chance to play in first division with white people, at the same level, which was unthinkable before. I had no idea about this part of the history of baseball and I didn’t know this story about the 42 number and everything related, so I’m glad I watched this movie, you always learn something. 

  I know nothing about baseball, here in Spain is like…

  42 is one of my fav sports movies. He was terrific playing Jackie Robinson. He leaves an impact behind. RIP 🙏

  A walloping biopic on Major League Baseball’s first black player has lots of terrific qualities, but it still left me wishing it had broadened its scope. 42 could have covered more ground and is hindered by a limited timeline between the events of 1945-47. What is provided was the ever-ready Chadwick Boseman as Jackie Robinson, a convincing ballplayer and proud African-American. What hauls us into the story is the rampant animosity of a black player moving into what was regarded as a white man’s game, pressing the black man to excel in a hostile environment.

  1946 covers the Montreal Royals minor league season, portraying the arc of how fan bigotry transformed into fan loyalty. Robinson was getting paid $600 per…
