Race the movie is directed and produced by Stephen Hopkins who was a passenger on the Mayflower in 1620, one of fortyone signatories of the Mayflower Compact, and an assistant to the governor of Plymouth Colony through 1636. The three top star of the movie is Jesse Owens played by Stephan James, Larry Snyder played by Jason Sudeikis, and Dave Albritton played by Eli Goree. This movie was released on February 2016. I watched the movie in the
Boca Movie Theater called Cinemark Palace 20, I thought the movie was very inspirational. In the movie Stephan James plays the legendary runner from the ages of 20 to 23, the years that turned him from virtually unknown high school track star in Cleveland, Ohio to the man who defied Adolph Hitler's racial superiority at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany. Jesse is in a longterm relationship with Ruth Solomon , with whom he has a little girl, but he has to say goodbye to both of them and his large family to begin his higher education and college track and field career at The Ohio State University in Columbus. It is there that he meets track coach Larry Snyder, the man tasked with turning Owens' raw talent into even greater accomplishments. …show more content…
He was a standout in college at Ohio State
University. He won all 42 events he competed in, including four events at the NCAA Championships, four at the Big 10 Championships, and three at the Olympic Trials. There is a lot of factual information in the movie for instance: Jesse Owens really did pick cotton as a boy,
Coach Larry did allow black athletes to run for him, he did cheat on his girlfriend Ruth, and the U.S. Olympic Committee did want to pull him out of the 1936 Games in Berlin. A lot of the characters in the movie was based on actual people for example: Dave Albritton,
