The Great Debaters

The Great Debaters

(2009.10.12) I feel that the final battle with Harvard, as the most important one, still seems too short to be enjoyable. Some lines are very flavorful, and the power of fierce debate may lie in how much it can inspire people.

Who is the judge?
The judge is God.
Why is he God?
Because he decides who wins or loses. Not my opponeent.
Who is your opponent?
He does not exist.
Why does he not exist?
Because he is a mere dissenting voice of the truth I speak!

Watching this film again today after Obama took office seems to have verified this truth even more.

The Great Debaters quotes

  • Samantha: [after James protests his inability to debate with Samantha or Henry] James, you're the best researcher I've ever seen. We couldn't do this without you.

    James Farmer Jr.: [angrily] Oh, there's PLENTY you do without me!

  • Melvin B. Tolson: I and every professor on this campus are here to help you to find, take back, and keep your righteous mind... because obviously you have lost it.
