This is a film about black people who disdain to fight for their equal rights and never give up. For me, what attracts me the most is the many such clips in the film: the best debate clips of the protagonist in the debate always appear in the part where his inner emotions are deeply touched by the real pictures from life, but the debates The narration is surprisingly calm, and in such a calm narration, the audience can quietly feel the deepest shock and recognition in their hearts. Never give up, never give up!

If you want to do what you want , you should do what you should do fisrt.

The Great Debaters quotes

  • Melvin B. Tolson: Take the meanest, most restless nigger. Strip him of his clothes in front of the remaining male niggers, female niggers, and nigger infants, tar and feather him, tie each leg to a horse facing an opposite direction, set him on fire, and beat both horses until they tear him apart in front of male, female and nigger infants. Bullwhip and beat the remaining nigger males within an inch of their life. Do not kill them but put the fear of God in them, for they can be useful for future breeding. Anybody know who Willie Lynch was? Anybody? Raise your hand. No one? He was a vicious slave owner in the West Indies. The slave-masters in the colony of Virginia were having trouble controlling their slaves, so they sent for Mr. Lynch to teach them his methods. The word "lynching" came from his last name. His methods were very simple, but they were diabolical. Keep the slave physically strong but psychologically weak and dependent on the slave master. Keep the body, take the mind.

  • Henry Lowe: School's the only place you can read all day. Except prison.
