It's been awhile since I have posted to this blog. Well the good news is that I have decided to become more motivated, and I have more material to write upon.
With that said, I will start with a movie recommendation. When I took my trip to Asia, I watched a few movies. One such film was "The Express." I have seen many sports movies, and I would say this is one of the best ones. It's kind of like a football version of "Glory Road" (the second best basketball movie) since it deals with college athletics and racial issues centered upon black athletes. I liked the depiction of 50s college life and the scenes showing the football games. They were shot in a way that was not overly flashy or sensational. It had a nice balance to it. Plus the story of the first black football player (Ernie Davis) to win the Heisman trophy while gunning for the National Title held my interest.
I have one warning though. This movie is more than just about football. It is a bittersweet story of one man's life. A story that will move you and make you reflect.
