After reading other film reviews a little, I found that the film clearly showed overcoming racism and the protagonist No. 42, Jackie, from being ignorant and surprised to being angry and unable to bear it, and finally, with the encouragement of Mr. Richie, he played the game wholeheartedly and became famous in one fell swoop. In addition to these two perspectives of the struggle story, I would like to analyze an angle that everyone has not mentioned but impressed me a lot, that is, Mr. Rich, the owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers, had an interest in digging out black baseball player Jackie Robinson and overcoming all odds and overcoming racial discrimination. efforts and contributions made by Although Jack's talent in baseball is a very important factor, no matter how good he is, if it is not important for Mr. Rich to pave the way ahead, this not only involves the relationship between Bole and Maxima, but also mentioned in the film. The fact that Mr. Richie's wife is black shows that he is also a victim of racism. On the other hand, because of his high love for baseball, and his discerning eyes can see that the biological structure of blacks determines the race's role in baseball. He has more advantages, so he overcomes all difficulties and has always been firm in signing the black Jackie, knowing that he is a four-all-around genius, cherishing talents, coercing the former Dodge manager to treat Jack kindly, and constantly clearing the obstacles of Jackie's growth.
To sum up, it is very important to have a Bole on the road of growth and he will help you clear obstacles. Sometimes it is necessary to rely on the meager power of a person, such as a drop in the bucket, and you need someone to pull it. Before you do anything, let him find out that you are A more important first step.
