Pride!

Pride (2007 Directed by: Sunu Gonera Written By: Kevin Michael Smith and Norman Vance Jr.)

I am really enjoying the movie Pride. I think it is really interesting and I feel like people can learn stuff just by watching this movie. I think my favorite character is Reggie. He has a stutter and he always seems so innocent and seems like a really good kid. I really like this movie because it isn't too serious, usually when you watch movies at school they are really boring and almost annoying to sit and watch. This movie is different, this movie is humorous. The movie isn't too serious and it's not annoyingly funny. Most movies I want to like die because of the annoying characters. I like this movie a lot. I am really enjoying watching it. I think that this movie is very educational, because believe it or not, white people really treated black people the way they do in the movie. I think this movie helps people get a better perspective of everything that really did happen back when the movie was made. I like the way that they kind of proved that not all of the white  people were rude and criticized the black people. I really liked the end of this movie. The end of the movie showed me that if you work hard and never give up you can achieve things that at the time you thought was impossible or that you would never accomplish. The end of the movie kind of made me jump out of my seat, I was so nervous to see who was gonna win. Reggie did a really good job as anchor, as soon as Andre announced that he was going to give up his spot as Anchor to the person with the biggest heart I knew that it was going to be Reggie. Reggie just seems like he has a big heart and it really shows it throughout the whole movie. At the end of the movie it made me kind of irritated that Coach Ellis wouldn't go inside and watch the kids after all of the hard work and time that they had all put into it. I know he felt guilty for hurting those one gang members but I think he was being childish. Those kids needed their coach there but the coach was being kind of a baby. I am glad they won though, I also think that Andre did a great job as steeping up as the leader. I felt as if he taught them all something new; like Reggie for an example, he showed Reggie that he could be the Anchor and that he was good enough for it. Reggie was about to step down because as he stood on the board about to take off for Anchor, he looked around at all of the people then got scared. When Reggie got scared he backed down, Andre stepped up and told him he was capable in being the Anchor and that no one could possibly do a better job then Reggie. I guess he was telling the truth, because Reggie won Anchor! They all learned something throughout the movie no matter what it was, even I learned something from watching. They ended up winning the meet and beating Main Line State!!Woo-Hoo!
