[MEDIA=39]
Denzel Washington… Forest Whitaker… need I say more? This movie was everything that it was cracked up to be. That may have been its undoing at the Box Office. Although there were inspired stellar performances throughout the movie as well as it being a trues story, it lacked the “what’s going to happen next” vibe.
The story is very inspiring and may cause a new interest in some young people to study history or want to be apart of their own school debate team. For the younger audiences, the film should captivate them as maybe the “Jane Pitman story” or “Rosewood” did for my age group. I must assume that the film makers deem it important for every era to have a story of this type. Uplifting and positive.
It is definitely a stark contrast to the garbage that has been shuffled to that particular target audience. Albeit it may not have been as well recieved as a result it did somewhat poorly at the box-office this week opening at a disappointing 11th with just over $6 million for the weekend totaling $13 million for the week. “American Gangster”, Denzel’s previous film did a hell of a lot better with the subject matter seemingly promoting gangsters nation-wide. What does this say? If you’ve seen both movies, I would hope that you would agree that Debaters was a far worthier movie of all the adoration. The only equal attention that each movie probably received was the number of bootlegs out on the street.
