About this movie

The incredible true story of Olympic legend Jesse Owens is vividly brought to life in Race. In his epic quest to be the greatest athlete in history, Owens (Stephan James, Selma) chooses to compete in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, where he must overcome not only elite competition, but also the brutal racial climate of Adolf Hitler's Germany. Also starring Jason Sudekis (We're the Millers) and Academy Award winners Jeremy Irons and William Hurt, Race is a film about courage, determination, tolerance, friendship and trust that critics are calling "Movie magic!" (Brian Truitt, USA TODAY). - 2016 Focus Features. All Rights Reserved.

But i think it pains me to see Sudakis in anything , hmm, take away is i dont care for Jason Sudakis? Other than that Im confident i would of given it a low 3 anyway... Oh well, the history is interesting. When you consider Germany's politics and its subsequent actions and obviously more importantly racial inequalities ... Well nuff said? Kk tc (oh ya also that hack Sudakis is in it.. And if im being honest, the struggle was with Owens himself who cares about his coach)

So tired of race being shoved down my throat, We get it black people like to run. That doesn't mean I wanna watch a movie about people running. Show me a movie I can relate to, one about a sad black nerd who loves naruto.

I was expecting another "42" (movie bio on Jackie Robinson) unfortunately the producers were more interested in the "heroic resistance" of the US Olympic organization against the Nazis than on Mr. Owens. Ironically Leni Riefenstahl (infamous for her documentary on the Berlin Games) came across as a sympathetic Owens admirer.
