I know that I am not the only one who cried while watching this video, especially when Jackie's teamate stood by him on the field. I don't know how Jackie remained emotionally composed in that moment...I would have broke down crying!
I was an extra in this movie. I worked a lot of the baseball game scenes. A few of them were filmed in Macon Georgia. There was this one day we worked and it was very hot. We were all wearing heavy suits made of wool and they had the black extras separated from the white extras as it was true to the times. This one day and all the main cast was there including Boseman, Ford, Bernthal and many more and this one black lady in the black area out from the shade in the blistering heat during a canera change started singing the Star Spangled Banner. Her voice was very loud and beautiful. Once everyone realized she was singing everyone even Ford and Boseman put their hands over their heart and she finished that song. When she got done everyone stood up to give her a standing ovation. It was one of the most inspirational films I worked on. Thanks for letting me share this story. Rest in peace Chadwick Boseman. He was an amazing man.
I can almost see Jackie Robinson welcoming Chadwick Boseman to the Pearly Gates with the words " You did good son, thanks for illuminating my story so brilliantly"
The loss of Chadwick was palpable. For those of us who were not related by blood loved this man. Incredible actor that brought history to life many times over
I'm a 50 something white Australian guy and I have to say I agree. It's not always the case, but it seems that we often loose the ones who can, and do make the most difference way too soon. From what I have seen of Chadwick, he was special in that way, where everyone just stops and listens to what he had to say. I know I will miss him, both because he is gone, and for what he could have done if he were still here with us.
Notice how good and healthy Chad looks. Seeing him here one would have NEVER thought that hed be gone away from us so soon. 😢Truly we never ever know what life has in store for us. RiP Chadwick Bozeman 🖤
I get sick of how these movies show characters as infallible and often show certain ethnicities as underdog angels and show white Americans as ignorant corrupt racist thieves. But Hollywood simplifies and generalizes and sensationalizes that's just how it is . Not to mention that Jackie Robinson was - by all accounts - a one in a billion human. He had not only superhuman abilities in sports but in his ability to turn haters into friends. To deescalate. To win over hostile crowds. To open the minds of closed minded people set in their ways. For once, here's a biopic that really didn't need to exaggerate. He's been a hero of mine since i was a little kid
Not sure many of us who grew up in Africa really appreciate how hard it was to be black in America during these times. Slavery was very long ago and we got to rule ourselves somewhat thereafter (albeit with a large dose of colonialism). Segregation was not really something we got to know. Films like this help to educate Africans today on what our brothers over in the States had to face for such a long time.
Oh my God I literally shed tears, inspirational . This shows that in every challenge that we may face in life, we always have the ability to overcome if we set our focus n persevere.
Awfull isn't it, I don't understand how anyone can have so much disgust and hate for someone just over the colour of their skin, that's as stupid as hating someone because of their height!! It's not something they have control over but tall or short, black or white skin we are all human beings! X
@@NickBurns-ey6od I have a special needs son ffs!! And we were talking about race on here not disability. I didn't say hair colour, eye colour or gender either. Are you bored and looking for a fight?
Great recap. Here in the Caribbean where I grew up and still reside, Jack Robinson was admired and highly respected by people of colour, of whom I one. As a matter of fact he was a household name that was synonymous with lightning speed. I would often hear grown-ups, my parents included, say things like, "before I could say Jack Robinson, the man was finished washing my car." I myself used the expression 'before you can say Jack Robinson ' a couple days ago. I saw his movie years ago where Debbie Morgan played his wife and it increased my admiration for him.
If you dont have a cool head, racists can easily get you off your dreams.They will provoke you, make you an easy target always.And to survive around them , you have to work 2 times more than they do.The mistakes they do are taken lightly and if you do the same mistakes you are handled harshly.Its not easy working within a racist environment.I can relate to this movie in 2023.
I've known of Robinson's groundbreaking place in baseball history as much as anybody else, but this movie has some details that I never knew about. I could've sworn that the minor league team in Kansas City was the Monarchs.
Wow! These black Americans have really suffered. See What our Fore fathers did to their own brothers. Heartlessly sold them in to captivity. Too painful...
It is so sad and hurts when I still see this same thing going on today.People should all be given a chance to make it in this world and it should not be based on color, who you are or who you know.
Hello world,I'm a Proud Black woman.I could speak negative towards this article of the treatment of my race of gorgeous people of whom I'm from..but I want.Thank You Jesus for the makings of us all the Color Plate came from You as did the ❤ and mind..Our people's journey made us Stronger...Thank you Mr. Jackie for thinning the pavement along with my other People before me and while it is still going on..We will stay Prayerful and Stronger...We are apart of God's Plan To...👏🏾🙏🙂❤🙏❤
The fact is that BTC symbolises the future of cryptocurrency, and traders are wondering if now is the best moment to trade, I feel you should examine the situation more closely before jumping to any conclusion. BTC's price has been fluctuating over the previous days, signaling that the market has become unstable and that is it impossible to anticipate whether it will go bearish or bullish. Others are patient, while others continue to trade with no risk. It all depends on the pattern you're trading and the source of your signal;
A lot of investors has restrained from the market because of the volatile and sudden crashed in the market.but l've learnt to understand that trading is quite different from just holding. There are short sell for bearish and long sell for bullish.
There are a lot of strategies to make tongue wetting profits especially in a down market but such sophisticated trades can only be carried out by proper market experts.
This man played Jackie Robinson, Thurgood Marshall, and James Brown. He brought each one of these men to life. He was a phenomenal actor. Having said that, as much as I admired him I really think T'Challa should be recasted with another actor.
Watching this video reminds me of when I was in the ARMY, because there were no ASIAN PEOPLE in my company but I fooled them all,because I had cooked professionally prior to going into the ARMY and I remember when I was stationed in Georgia, 2 sergeants told me that I had earned a reputation as the best cook on base.still it didn't matter because I had a job to do, and that was to make the best food for the troops and do it consistently. I did it for the state of HAWAII and for my family. I made them believe that I could cook because the MARINES and the ARMY don't get the best food
It reminds me of the Sonsorolese soft ball team in Palau in the 80's too. We went through some discriminations but we are good with each other now. The first team's named was; Rooster, Buldozer, then, Worr.
This movie almost perfectly depicts what is currently going on in my country. It's isn't just about the skin color, but about the superiority, low inferiority or jealous/evil mindset. Same skin color, same continent, same country, only difference is the name and region/tribe, and all hell is let loose. All because of corrupt leaders whose watch word is divide and rule, yet the populace are so gullible that they can't see through their gimmicks, lies and propaganda. Very sad and pathetic, I believe in a Better tomorrow. #GreenWhiteGreen
Meanwhile when in Canada Jackie played for the MLB Montreal Royals... and all the fans cheered him on and actually carried him on their shoulders down the street at one point... "When we got to Montreal it was like coming out of a nightmare. The atmosphere in Montreal was so positive, we felt it was a good omen for Jack to play well,” Rachel Robinson.... yeah America you're #!.😂
The theme of this movie is being brave fearless without fighting back with your fist are hard emotional words plus it story of redemption stand up for right of all people movie
This video gave so many chills at the end and such a proud feeling - But on the other hand giving me much heartache for the way that a lot of our people are today. Remembering ALL the people before us and the suffering they went through to hopefully make a better life for us in the future. A lot of our people could give 2 shits about what they went through. We are still the low race on the totem pole - as a whole, we haven't learned a damn thing through all of these years. A lot of us can't keep a business running - too busy dipping your hands in the money, and trying to get over one someone - we are killing each other seems like faster that the white man did/is - we are cheapening our selves with the young women almost naked and so much paint on their face you can hardly tell what they really look like - and the young guys with their pants almost to the knees - which is a symbol of saying my ass is available. It seems to me that ALL those people in the early years went through their hardship in vain - My heart breaks because we haven't learned - ALL of these drugs out here - back in the day, they were put out here for the black people - And a lot of us STILL use the *N* word like it's a proud badge - when it was the white man that put that label on us - I sure hope ... somewhere down the line I pray, we finally wake up and STOP TEARING OURSELVES UP!
We are still four hundred years behind, still growing. I'm 69, and I know we as a race of people have come a long way, yet we still have a longer way to go. Your comment made me realize that we care about our fellow man regardless of color. I'll keep talking to the people I know about living a productive life. Everyone should do what they can to help our kids.
