Pride

So far the movie is pretty good. In the beginning a man, named Jim Ellis was judged for being an African American man. He was at a swim meet and was the only black man there, swimming or in the crowd. The starting shot fired, and Jim was the only one to swim. No one else swam because no one else would swim with a black man. These kind of things factored through the entire movie. I didn't like that a white man though he was entirely different and better than a black man. Some of my best friends are black. I met them when I was in kindergarten. I didn't think there was a difference. I know a lot more white people than I do black, but so what? Color doesn't matter until the other person makes a big deal about it. People still today are prejudice against black people. They look on the outside of people instead of what matters. I thought it was a good movie. The "underdogs" came out on top. That always makes a good movie.
