Race

You're not a thinker Jesse!", paraphrase of dialogue sums up this film pretty well. Athletic glory is not important really, but that's just me I guess. I feel like this status quo pro, individual responses to systemic problems, with its huge disdain for the importance/effectiveness of the power of political action, so squandered the legacy of Jesse Owens. The best parts were the blurbs at the end over the photos of the real people explaining what happened to them after the '29 Olympics. There were a bunch of Olympic athletes in the theatre and they ate it up with a corporate sponsored spoon, makes sense that they would though. They are cogs in the machine of sport being fed on hopes of glory. Also who the hell cast Jason Sudekis as the coach?? Made it seem like satire right from the start.
