I think this movie should have gotten more recognition it is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time I'm an older woman and I love these type of true stories were people make a difference Harrison Ford was great in this movie it scored 80% on Rotten Tomatoes that's pretty good! I'm surprised. I hadn't heard about it? oh that's right racism still exists today!😣🙏

Dont think it was racism that slowed this movie could have been a number of factors .. But I love these movies im not into sports so never heard his name till this movie. So when I see movies I like this I do google the people see whats fact and Hollywood just like Desmond Dodd story see what's fact and see what these people did. Bottom line they did amazing things some people helped them some people tried to stop them either way they didn't quit and they literally changed history and hope their names are never forgotten for their accomplishments and what they did .

I have watched this movie many times because in 1947 I was eight years old and it was baffling to me that my family was rooting for the dodgers instead of the st.louis cardinals,after all weren't we supposed to root for the "home team"? Well,it became clear why my family was so exuberant about the dodgers (Jackie Robinson). When I watch the movie I am transported back as though it were yesterday.

This is a great film wow they even resembled the real life characters and Chadwick RIP was so good as Jackie Robinson

From my own research, while there were sadly a sizable number of a-holes who gave Jackie all the hate one can think of, Jackie actually had surprisingly high respect in the media and among other players. Even a number of the public was soon rooting for him. Goes to show how a humble attitude, hard work and determination in the face of opposition WILL grab attention.

He was absolutely perfect for this role

This movie is a great movie, can’t believe how he kept his cool and acted like a human then became one of the best ball player and a fantastic human being,a lot can be learned from this

I thought it was a mistake to cast an unknown but I keep forgetting how quickly they can become legends. I hope Meloni's Durocher speech was every bit as jarring as it was in the movie.

FYI: In the movie Eddie Stanky avoids signing the petition. Actually, Stanky was a big supporter of the petition. Later in the film, Stanky defends Robinson against Ben Chapman's grotesque race-baiting, so perhaps the filmmakers thought that would be confusing to audiences if he had previously been shown as a racist. It is noteworthy that after he was traded from Brooklyn, Stanky indulged in race-baiting Robinson just as lustily as his new teammates when they played the Dodgers.

Thanks for pointing that out. But, that being said, Stanky did defend Robinson once when Chapman was race baiting, it got so bad. Sometimes abusers can get so carried away, that even those who don't care too much for the victim will, at times, come to their defense.

I followed your website and I think it's a great idea to move content to KZread, it's a strong force now. I think it would be great to add thumbnails with videos of the trailer and other Jackie Robinson videos that you list in your articles. Overall, the delivery can be a bit more entertaining if you add videos from the movie as well. Also, narration can be a bit less robotic, I guess your familiar with watchmojo and looper, I think you can get a bit loose and narrate in more personal style. Good luck!

Just a slight critique that Robinson was the first to break the color line in 1947, of the 1900's. However, not the first black man to play pro ball. Moses Fleetwood Walker was and then his brother too, yet Edward William White in some circles (which I am not apart of) is considered the first because of blood law back when... well...

Wonderful! Nice to know they followed the truth, mostly!

I understand and appreciate the story but the truth is Jackie Robinson was the first player ALLOWED to play in that League. That is not how we are taught. We just say he was the first player to break the color barrier or the first African-American to play... That is truly not accurate!.

We have a street named after Pee Wee in Louisville

The movie does not address the fact that his brother was in the 1936 summer Olympics in Nazi Germany.

Despite it's inaccuracies this is my all time favorite movie and I consider Robinson to be the most important player in baseball history. GOD BLESS JACKIE AND ALL OF THE BRAVE PEOPLE WHO PAVED THE WAY

​@@ElementalRickyYes, there were liberties here and there. I love the scene where Pee Wee Reese puts his arm around Jackie Robinson near the end of the movie. But he's not the Dodger player who said, "Who knows? Maybe tomorrow we'll all be wearing #42 and then nobody will be able to tell us apart." The quote's real. But the producers of the film felt rightfully so that it fit perfectly into that scene even though it wasn't attributed to Pee Wee Reese.

@@ElementalRicky I'll tell you something else that wasn't perfect - the wall where Jackie Robinson breaks the bat. About 70% of the movie was filmed right here in Chattanooga at our own Engel Stadium. After the film was released, they offered a tour of the stadium and one of the places I got to go was in the tunnel. Officials at Engel Stadium were told about the scene the day before it was scheduled to be filmed. Where he breaks the bat was actually styrofoam and the custodians of the ballpark had exactly one day to fix it. I went to hundreds of games there. Where Branch Rickey stands listening to the World Series is the exact section where I used to sit and after he's spiked and Jackie talks to Rachel as he's leaving is exactly how you exited the stadium. It was great getting to take that tour and finally walking on that field I'd only seen from the stands and thinking about all the players who spines caressed the grass or dug into the dirt in the batter's box. Babe Ruth, Liu Gehrig, Don Mattingly, Harmon Killebrew, Ferguson Jenkins, Tim M Carver, Cal Ripken Jr., Bo Jackson, Frank Thomas and even Michael Jordon all once played in the ballpark where the majority of the movie was filmed. It was such an amazing experience getting to walk around on that field and to actually stand where they and Chadwick Boseman all once stood.
