Glory Road

Waking up in the morning to go to an 8 o'clock class just doesn't seem too appealing to some people, eh? But not today. I went to class - well apart from the fact that I missed the bus and had to walk so far to my class - with anticipation cuz today we were gonna watch a movie titled "Glory Road". =) Nothing beats getting to watch a movie in class in a morning class man! Especially for a movie buff like me. heh.

So what class is this you ask? It's my political science class - Intro to American Government. And in conjunction to the topic of civil rights movement, which involved racial issue - namely the strained relationship between the 'white' americans and the african americans, we get to watch this movie of 2006 production and look at the efforts of racial intergration back in the 1960s. This story, based on a true account in real life, tells about how a white basketball coach got a basketball team together and set their hearts on winning the game despite the disparity due to race, which revolutionize basketball and the country itself (to some extent).

In this show, not only were the basketball games exalting, you get to see the dynamics of the society as well as the team members, from how they found it absurd to be playing with 'colored' people for the same team, and later on accepting their differences. IMHO, it's a great movie, if you have time you guys should watch it, not just for basketball but to see how similar they can be when they have a common goal.

And so it just makes me wonder, when is Malaysia ever REALLY gonna accept the multiracial society, or are they gonna fuss over every single thing that can be deemed as racial discrimination? Someone once said, there is a difference between acceptance and tolerance; and we are just being 'tolerated'. Somethg needs to be changed...=P Now dont get me wrong, I love my country, but just cuz I love her doesnt mean I have to love evyerhg about that place. Right?

Anyways, I'm so tired I dunno what I'm typing now. So pardon moi if what I wrote doesnt make any sense to you and just look like a piece of junk, then.. just laugh and shrug it off and pretend that you never saw it before okay? (like just now I actually typed out a word called 'jubmunks' when what I really wanna say is 'junk'.) okay folks, nightie night y'all. =)
