Basketball is the best game with the ball. This is definitely the best basketball movie I’ve ever seen. At the head of the picture is Coach Carter, the Man with a capital letter, who not only put a great game to a team that was a clear outsider before, but also broke the system, giving a future to the guys who usually ended their century in prison or worse.
Unlike other films about basketball, here perfectly shot the process of this sport, there are no ridiculous shots, crazy hits from the middle of the field, slam-dunks through three players, here everything is like a real game. A well-chosen motley company of difficult teenagers, especially note the amazing play of the character of Timo Cruz, played by Rick Gonzalez. An interesting moment infused son Samuel L. Jackson into the team, as the guy decided to leave the prestigious college to play in the team under the guidance of his father.
Samuel L. Jackson in the film is very charismatic, concise, cruel, not compliant and eloquent, somewhat reminiscent of his image from Pulp Fiction. I really liked the scene where under the delightful soundtrack Citizen Cope-Let the Drummer Kick, coach Carter sits thinking in an empty room.
Now, my favorite former NBA player, Penny Hardway, has taken the high school team to unprecedented heights in his hometown, and he's now referred to as "Coach Carter" because he loves his guys and they reciprocate him in return, which is the benchmark of coaching.
