It's been 10 years passed since @wbpictures' 42 movie came out on April-12-2013 and it's based on a true story. Let me tell ya: it's the GREAT movie I've ever watched. In 1946, Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford), legendary manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, defies major league baseball's notorious color barrier by signing Jackie Robinson (the late Chadwick Boseman) to the team as the first African-American athlete. The heroic act puts both Rickey and Robinson in the firing line of the public, the press and other players. Facing open racism from all sides, Robinson demonstrates true courage and admirable restraint by not reacting in kind and lets his undeniable talent silence the critics for him. It's really hard to believe that it's almost three years since the late Chadwick Boseman passed away from colon cancer.

 My Obsession with Jackie Robinson, and why he is the man!

So people don't know this about me, but I am a little bit obsessed with Jackie Robinson. I have been since second year of uni, when I took an American History class. That led to me travelling to the USA as a history subject with Melbourne Uni, called Searching For The American Dream. Both classes were run by Dr. Glenn Moore, my first brain crush. The man knew his shit and was so passionate about American history, that it became contagious. He wrote his thesis on baseball, and I found that so interesting and exciting.

I'd never been to a baseball game before and always held firm to my avoidance of organised sports (we'll save that treasure trove for another blog post, I think). When our trip took us to Coney Island in Brooklyn, it was the beginning. I had heard about Jackie Robinson before, of course. He is an important historical figure. But I didn't have a connection with him. Not yet, anyway.

We watched the Brooklyn Cyclones play that day and I developed a love for baseball. Whilst the other people in our group couldn't handle the nine innigs and left, I stayed to the very end. I kept looking around at the spectators: families, couples, friends. This place had a sense of community to it, something I never felt with AFL. It was different. Change could happen here. It made me think of Jackie. I mean, really think about him; what he did for the country, for African Americans, for families and friends, for history! It was an epiphany of sorts.

When the game ended, I went to pay my respects. I stood in front of the statue that sits outside the stadium - a representation of Robinson and Pee Wee Reese, the latter with his arm around Robinson, making a statement, making a change. Now, possibly my favourite moment in history.

See, the Dodgers were playing in Cincinnati, close to Reese's hometown. Needless to say, the white section of the crowd was... less that enthusiastic about Robinson's attendance and booed and yelled out obscenities at him. Reese proved who he really was, in front of his friends and family, by going over to Robinson and placing his arm around his shoulders before the entire crowd. BAM!

For the final assignment for that subject, I guess it's no surprise that I wrote about Jackie Robinson and baseball. 

I love Jackie Robinson because he was a man of strength.  Branch Rickey recruited Robinson because he wanted to break the colour barrier in baseball, and because of his guts. Robinson asked him, "You want a player who's got the guts to fight back?" After a rightfully dramatic pause, Rickey replied "No, I want a player with guts enough to not fight back." Robinson's reply (man, I love this guy): "You give me a uniform, you give me a number on my back, I'll give you the guts."

Right on, Robinson!

Robinson and Rickey were precursors to the Civil Rights Movement. They were an example of how change was coming, no matter how many filthy words anyone was going to throw around, or how many dirty tactics used. It was coming and it was coming fast.

I just watched the movie 42 and I highly recommend that every person on the planet watch it. Maybe people could learn a thing or two. I don't believe that people can change. People are who they are. But they can learn. Everyone can learn. My job is proof of that.

P.S. On April 15 every year (the same day in 1947 that Robinson started his first season in the Major Leagues and with the Brooklyn Dodgers), all the players wear a number 42 jersey, regardless of the team they play for. Respect!

IN THEATERS NOW AND HAS BEEN FOR TWO WEEKS! SORRY FOR THE LATE REVIEW.

42 brought back memories of black history month in elementary school. Martin Luther King Jr. Rosa Parks. Harriet Tubman. Sojourner Truth. George Washington Carver. Those were names my teachers would constantly speak highly of (students, including myself, were mosty interested in the last guy because he created peanut butter. OMG!). In third grade I was (get ready for this) really into sports so I would always light up when my teachers talked about another black icon: Jackie Robinson, the guy who broke the baseball color line in the postwar. He faced a ton of racial hatred but stayed strong by ignoring it, eventually getting his name placed in the Baseball Hall of Fame by the early 60s. 42 (which, of course, was Robinson's number) is surprisingly the first movie about the baseball legend. It's not amazing, and I admittedly would have preferred watching it on DVD than paying to see it in theaters, but it's undoubtedly a passionate tribute to the man.

Writer/director Brian Helgeland's script is nicely structured (most of the time) and explores the events leading up to Robinson's acceptance into the Brooklyn Dodgers. In a nice opening montage we learn about the racial conditions after the war. Many blacks that fought in the army returned home with few job opportunities since the white soldiers were taking them back. Baseball, of course, is segregated. Robinson (Chadwick Boseman, a promising new talent) is playing for a small team in Kansas. One day they stop at a gas station and he boldly refuses to use the "colored" bathroom. A scout for the Brooklyn Dodgers notices this and approaches him. The team's general manager, Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford), is seeking a new player. He interviews Robinson and agrees to put him on the Dodgers' International League, the Montreal Royals, on one condition: he doesn't fight back to racial slurs that get directed at him. Robinson agrees to keep his cool and says he only wants the job for the money to support his wife Rachel (Nicole Beharie) and himself.

When he's on the field Robinson is superhuman, hitting balls and catching them like a baseball player god. He's followed around by a friendly sportswriter, Wendell Smith (Andre Holland), who's never allowed to report with other white writers at the games because of his skin color. Soon he's placed into the Brooklyn Dodgers and knows that the racial slurs he faces are about to increase rapidly. At first Robinson's teammates are unhappy playing with him because they're afraid he's giving the team a bad name. At one point they sign a petition supporting his removal but it's ignored by their coach, Leo Durocher (Christopher Meloni), who understands that the black player is needed on the field because he's so damn good. One player that eventually sympathizes with Robinson is Pee Wee Reese (Lucas Black) who realizes his teammate is getting more hate mail than he is. The worst hatred the black player receives is from Phillies coach Ben Chapman (Alan Tudyk) who literally screams awful things at him when he's up to bat.

Robinson stuck with his promise and never fought back. His life remains one of the most inspirational anti-segregation stories of all time. Apart from Tudyk's horrifying performance as the racist pig coach 42 is still too light on showing the racism in postwar America. I've learned about this period a thousand times enough already to understand that blacks were ridiculously disenfranchised. The movie's not mean enough and its moments where Robinson gets back at his haters by scoring a home run are predictably structured to that inspirational music we hear in all sports movies. I can't argue, however, that I didn't enjoy the movie. It's sweet, well-acted, and enjoyable from start to finish. I certainly know I would have LOVED it if it came out when I was in third grade. The baseball sequences are fun and Boseman is completely charismatic as the baseball legend. The real sweetness of the movie comes from his relationship with Rickey. The executive always says that he hired Robinson for how good he was on the field, not because he was against the social acceptance of racism, yet deep down we know he was fed up with hatred towards blacks.

You won't stand from your seat and clap at the end credits of 42. As a biopic the movie's way too simple, but it's still a lot of fun. I think we're all glad a movie about Jackie Robinson finally got made.
