Hey Jackie...

42 was an awesome movie to watch. The movie seemed like a throwback to classic films from the 50's. The story entails how Jackie Robinson beame the first black person to play in the MLB. Harrison Ford was great as Branch Rickey the baseball executive of the Brooklyn Dodgers who helped bring in Robinson. Everything about the movie had an authentic feel to it. From the baseball grassfield to the cars, clothes. Was it too melodramatic at time, eh who cares? It was a fun movie to watch. I hadn't seen a sports film in quite awhile, so it was good to see one that was well made.(hey did they call you man? Hahaha, couldn't resist.)
