Undescribable Perfection

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

hyped garbage

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Rewriting historical facts and twisting them for leftist propaganda purposes, this biased crap would make Jesse Owens rolling in his grave, as he was better treated in Nazi Germany than in the US. Adolf Hitler treated Jesse Owens better than his own President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) and that shameful fact is one that CANNOT change no matter how many money are invested into brainwashing people with shitty movies like this and will always be there to haunt the US and leftists worldwide.

Jesse Owens' quest to become the greatest track and field athlete in history thrusts him onto the world stage of the 1936 Olympics, where he faces off against Adolf Hitler's vision of Aryan supremacy. The director of this film made Predator 2 back in 1990 wow that is such a big development Race was a pretty good film sure it had it's flaws mostly in repeating same old stuff like he breaks up with his wife, they make fun of him because his black and you know it's not an original film but for what it was i was entertained although it does get kinda boring at times but pretty good acting and locations and i was very big surprised by the performance of Jason Sudeikis he was amazing in this film and i can't remember a role that he owned like ever 9/10.

'RACE': Three and a Half Stars (Out of Five)A biographical sports drama flick, based on the 1930s track and field star Jesse Owens; who won four gold medals (a record) at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The movie stars Stephan James, as Owens; and it costars Jason Sudeikis, Jeremy Irons, William Hurt and Shanice Banton. It was directed by veteran action filmmaker Stephen Hopkins, and it was written by Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse. The film performed moderately well with critics, and at the Box Office. I enjoyed it, to a moderate extent, as well. The film tells the story of Jesse Owens (James); as he first begins college (the first member of his family to do so) at Ohio State. He struggles with racism, and finding work to provide for his family (back home), while becoming a world famous athlete; under the tutelage of his coach, Larry Snyder (Sudeikis). After he's accepted to the Olympic Games, Owens must also decide if he wants to compete (in a Nazi Germany controlled 1936 Berlin). After America also debates this decision.The movie is highlighted by the performances of it's two leads. I'm a huge Jason Sudeikis fan, and I really like seeing him try different things (like this). I think he pulls it off. James is good as well; and the parts of the movie that deal with their characters' friendship (which is a large part of it), are the movie at it's best. The rest of the film feels like it could have been more inspiring though; as it kinds of settles for a lot of overdone clichés instead.Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: https://youtu.be/YnZSF_6sbsA

Use of typical subplot formulas found in docudramas to make palatable to a broad audience, especially with esoteric subjects like track and field, i.e. athlete discord; coach discord; coach w/issues; love interest conflict; outside pressures, and so on. I thought I was re-watching the same script from half dozen similar athletic movies. The problem is that it detracts from any chance of an honest portrayal, of authenticity. So much film time was spent on these distractions that very, very little time was devoted to giving a sense of Owens' hard work in training. An odd inconsistency was the coach teaching a new method of starts with head down and staying low for the first ten or so meters - something that was never done from that scene onward. Interesting subplot was on the German filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl who should also show up in "The Boys in the Boat", if they ever finish it.
