Movie Reviews of Harlem Globetrotters - The Team That Changed the World
Movie Review: Not bad, but
Summary: 4 Stars
The history aspects of this DVD are okay and cover the main issues with the Trotters, especially with the 1948 Lakers game, the 1952 Berlin Game with Jesse Owens, and the Trotters place in history. However, they could have included some profiles on the classic Trotters such as Goose Tatum, Meadowlark Lemon, Geese Ausbie (who is interviewed) and WHAT? Nothing on the beloved Curly Neal? Like hot dogs without the weenies!
These items would have made good extras, along with some stuff from the HG cartoons of 1970 for a complete portrait.
Summary of Harlem Globetrotters - The Team That Changed the World
If anyone doubts that the Harlem Globetrotters were incomparable athletes as well as world-class entertainers, this documentary will put them wise. Harlem Globetrotters: The Team that Changed the World features interviews with everyone from former Globetrotters and NBA coaches to Henry Kissinger (!)--who, it turns out, is an honorary Globetrotter himself (along with Whoopi Goldberg, Pope John Paul II, and a handful of other notables). The Team that Changed the World lays out not only the development of the team itself--how original Globetrotters Marques Haynes and Reece "Goose" Tatum turned a sport into a form of vaudeville without sacrificing amazing displays of skill--but also the volatile racial politics of the 1930s, '40s, and '50s, when the Globetrotters were at their peak. In only an hour, the documentary argues persuasively that this basketball team, as they toured the world, became a symbol of racial progress and American good will. Extras include lessons on how to do some patented Globetrotter routines; an amazing 12 foot dunk; additional interviews; a 1951 newsreel about their South American tour; and more. It's not the same as seeing the Globetrotters live, but fans of these great performers will find this documentary a pleasure. --Bret FetzerThe feature program chronicles the Globetrotters' legendary upset of the World Champion Minneapolis Lakers in 1948 as well as the team's historic trip to Berlin in 1951. Their story will be told through former Globetrotters current and former NBA coaches as well as celebrities and others. Chuck D of the pioneer rap group Public Enemy will narrate the documentary. Bonus material includes: Tricks of the Trotters Totters Today 1950 World Tour Uncut College All-Star Highlights Washington Generals Feature and Outtakes.Running Time: 116 min.System Requirements:Running Time 116 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.
