It had been earier last year that I saw the movie, Glory Road (2006), which is about a true Cinderella college basketball team. Actually when I went to rent the movie New Year's weekend, I had forgotten that I had seen it once. The movie is a collegiate level Hoosers, but it is more. It was just as good the second time around.
I commend this movie to anyone who is a sports fan, to anyone who appreciates the values of teamwork, hard work, commitment and mentoring. The movie deals with many Conservative principles, especially personal responsibility and integrity. Its message is that in America one can overcome obstacles and be a winner. But to be a winner requires dedication, effort and giving one’s all, one’s best, it involves unselfishness and sometimes calls for taking a backseat or a secondary, non-visible supportive role for the good of the cause or the effort or the team.
The movie has a subplot which offers practical racial reconciliation, which is just the right thing to advocate be for the Conservative or the Liberal.
The movie is in stark contrast with the typical tripe and trash that seeps from the bowels of Hollywood, which is itself a cesspool pouring regurgitated unregenerate filth incessantly into this society’s cinemas. Americans need to stop supporting the vomit and to start supporting in droves and by voting with their pocketbooks, movies with a message and movies with values such as Glory Road, the Nativity Story, One Night with the King and Facing the Giants.
