The movie I am reviewing is called, "The Great Debaters". It was directed by Denzel Washington and he also played a big part in the movie as Mr. Tulson, the debate team's instructor. Some leading characters are: Denzel Washington, Forest Whitaker, and Kimberly Elise, Jurnee Smollett, Nate Parker, and Denzel Whitaker. The movie is based on a true story and it's about a debate team from Wiley College in 1935. It was an all black school in Marshall, Texas. The debate team never had a female until Samantha Brooke joined. It was a very segregated time period. Many of the black people were very religious but they weren't treated with respect. In my opinion, I enjoyed the movie a lot because it's about how black people earn their rights.
Eventually, the debate team wins all of their debates and are undefeated. They have an oppurtunity to compete against Harvard and they win that debate. If I had to choose who my favorite character is, I'd say Samantha. I think she played a good part in the movie because she was independent, and she stood up for herself. Also, I'd recommend many of my friends and family to watch it because I think they'd enjoy it as much as I did.
