This is not only an inspirational film, but also a legendary documentary worthy of our study.

Aside from racial discrimination, the spirit of the characters created by the film is also the highlight of the film. Starring Robinson has gone from being a nigger despised by everyone to becoming a "baseball king" admired by the United States. A person who can write down history is destined to pay more than others. In the last scene, when the audience, both black and white, applauded Jackie Robinson's victory, I was deeply impressed by the courage, belly, and tenacity that Robinson conveyed. This is a real man! The film depicts the psychology of the characters with the big environment, interprets the legend with plainness, and grasps the hearts of the audience. It is definitely a good film.

It is worth mentioning that, as a Chinese audience, I feel that the legendary spirit of the protagonist is exactly what China lacks at the moment. In an age of restless crowds and high tempo, fewer and fewer people have the spirit Robinson conveys.
This is not only an inspirational film, but also a legendary documentary worthy of our study.
