A really powerful and intense movie. A real eye opener. I would suggest seeing it.

i saw the trailer on it when we saw some movie. my shannon.. she is a movie theather junkie lol.. anyways the talkign on the trailer said somthign abotu it beign ture but i haven't found where it's based on anything true (or i missed that part) when a movie is based on a tru happing there suposed to cridit it right? i been meaning to look that movie up and check in on that. even if it's not i bet it's a good one. The power of one is a good movie too. ther not the same but then they are kinda the same since both of them are about race. but anyway...i was wonderign about if it was a well though of movie or a real thing that happend. i forgot the name of the movie beign advertised but it looks.........i dk.. that move that the killer is killing people buy others looking at his web site. i can handle scary i just can't cope with gory.. if any one see's this movie tell me if it's gory. tho by the comeritals to me it looks more scary than blood, guts and goooo.

Yeah it's based on a real story which makes me so like "wow!" lol. I cried and I cheered. It was like... really intense I thought I was about to lose my mind right there on the spot. I wished there was a warning about showing things such as lynchings and what not. I hate seeing things like that because I know it's 100% true.I know what movie you're talking about. That looks hella creepy. I don't know if I want to see it though. Might never pick up a phone again lol. I do want to see Cloverfield though. That looks pretty good.

a phone.. that's the other one.the one i'm talking about is the internet one. it's called untraceable. every time some one checks out this guy's site they kill some one or help in killing some one...somthing like that. it's always better when u watch and think...shit this really happend. (talking about the desbaters movies) i thought it was i just wasn't sure. The Great Debaters untraceable One Missed Call (2008) Cloverfield

Sow hat's the Great Debaters about? I have it on my computer I just haven't watched it yet...

Well basically it's about a professor who's been through alot of struggles socially and he persuades and teaches his students at a small college to form the very first debate team and they come to the point where they challenge this ridiculously smart Harvard students but however it results will effect their families and those back at home and how the world sees them. Where they are for the majority of the movie, it's set back in those "if you're colored we'll hang you" times so that just adds to their difficulties. Overrall it's a really good movie.

Bad example. The Great Debators was directed by Denzel Washington, Remember the Titans was not.
Let me explain to you:
- Denzel Washington plays a bad guy in The Training Day. In response to that, he directs (and is part of) the movie Antwone Fischer (watch it if you haven't).
- Denzel Washington plays a bad guy in American Gangster. In response to that, he directs (and is part of) the move The Great Debators.
That should show you a little bit about Denzel Washington.

denzel is amazing

I live really close to where that movie was filmed. Most of it was probably in Shreveport, LA, but it also was filmed on location in that town (I can't remember!!) But one of my friends was dating a guy who lived there. Denzel literally walked into the classroom at their school and just started talking.Remember the Titans is a pretty good example actually. Not because who starred in it, but the story behind it. Great movies are not based on actor/directors, but the meaning within.

It was filmed in Keachi, Louisiana! I knew it!! I just couldn't remember! they also left like $100,000 or $1,000,000 for the college in that area...
