You don't have to be a baseball fan to enjoy this movie. Good acting, historically sound. Very entertaining.Movie Review: Bang the Drum Slower
Summary: 4 Stars
Recently I bought both 'Bingo Long' and 'Soul of the Game' and compared the two not on which is best but if they still hold up. Bingo is still entertaining but Soul has more 'soul'. It's also a very dark look at a time when men were judged by how they would behave in society and the irony hits you in the face. Today we have so much outlaw actiions taking place and people look the other way on black player's behavior. One such player during those cruel times judged by his character was Josh Gibson, who in any league would have been a bonafide slugger, hitter and catcher. That they choose Jack Robinson on how he would behave doesn't set the record straight. Soul lays it down by also showing two black men and their professional respect for each other. Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson. A good movie indeed.Movie Review: Capturing bitterness
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been a student of the history of baseball since my father wanted me to read books at the age of seven. I have read about one hundred books about baseball. I have written a novel which includes the early days of baseball.
I have read and watched several books and movies about Jackie Robinson, Sachel Paige, and Josh Gibson.
Soul of the Game does in excellent job of capturing the passion, complexity, and bitterness of these three men. Their hostility and anguish for being excluded from the "all white" baseball leagues is most real and vivid. For me, the movie captures the depravity of deep rooted racism and ignorance. At the same time, the movie is very dark, opening doors that most people don't want to look through.
