Movie Man Darian Watching All Night Long

This movie was one of the greatest documentary baseball drama films I've
seen in a while since moneyball.  It was amazing!  Harrison Ford was
electrifying as Branch Ricky and how they designed the film was great.  This
is the ultimate tribute to the greatest player in baseball.

Rating: PG for thematic elements and Language.

Jackie Robinson gets recruited for the Brooklyn Dodgers but opportunity
comes at a price when he gets judged for his race.

Chadwick Boseman did one of the best performances of the film.  For a new
actor in the film industry, he did a heck of a great performance and
portayel as Jackie Robinson.  He brought such emotion to his character.  The
colour barrier back in the day was harsh.  Loved his performance.

Harrison Ford gave one of his best performances of his career as Branch
Rickey.  He brought such electricity to his character you can't take your
eyes off him when he's acting just like Heath Ledger's performance in the
Dark Knight.  It was memorable.  It was his best performance since (Witness,
1985).  He was completely serious but also had a dry sense of humor in parts
of it which was great. I'm praying on my knees he gets nominated for Best
Supporting Actor because there has been a lot of buzz over his performance
and just 42 in general.

This film wasn't very predictable because even though it was a documentary,
they made it so you wouldn't know what would happen which was even more
brilliant. This film reminded me of Bennett Miller's film Moneyball.  It had
great performances, great story, and overall a movie that will have you
cheering in the end.

The cinematography was average.  It was well done but not eye popping.  They
did a good job.  But on the other hand, the lighting was magnificent.  They
brought this 1940's nostalgic feel because that's the time period it was in.
They really  made you feel like you were in that time period.  The lighting
was great when Jackie Robinson was sad as they brought the lighting down so
much when they showed him suffering.  It made you want to cry (or at least
me).  Great job!!

The music was a mix of 1940's music which is so smart to do because not many
films do that.  The setting of the film fit the music perfectly.  Most
movies put rock pop and 80's rock but at times films do put the music from
their period in the film.  Great choice in music.  And to promote the
trailer they used a song sang by J-Z called Brooklyn We Go Hard.  The song
was not used in the film only in the trailer.  I will definitely be
downloading this song.
