In 1946, Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) put himself at the forefront of history when he signed Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) to the team, breaking Major League Baseball's infamous color line. Facing unabashed racism from every side, Robinson was forced to demonstrate tremendous courage and restraint by not reacting, instead letting his talent on the field do the talking-ultimately winning over fans and his teammates, silencing his critics, and paving the way for others to follow. In 1997, Major League Baseball retired the number 42 for all teams, making it the first number in sports to be universally retired.

I found 42 to be disappointing. Instead of a well-rounded story, with intricate, complex characters, the story was flat and the characters two-dimensional. This would be a fine movie to teach teenagers about integration at the end of the Jim-Crown era, but it's not a great artistic movie.

Great people like this do great things when facing tremendous hardship, powerful man who didn't steal, loot or place blame on other races like all the people nowadays who weren't slaves and demand money from people who never owned slaves.

I wish this would have come out before I got burnt out on underdog sports movies. Jackie Robinson is an inspiration, but also an iconoclast. It was the icon that was exploited to tell the same story I've seen forty million times before. Worth a single viewing, though.
