Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesAt the 1935 Big Ten track meet in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Jesse Owens set three world records and tied a fourth in less than an hour. The feat has been called "the greatest 45 minutes ever in sport."
- PatzerHitler never snubbed Jesse Owens during the 1936 Olympics. On the first day, the chancellor insisted on congratulating only German athletes. The chief of the Olympic committee and his staff told Hitler that he had to congratulate all of the athletes or none, and Hitler chose the latter. According to Owens, Hitler actually nodded when Owens passed him.

Round-Up: Personally, I think that this movie needed a top director to bring the intense emotion across to the big screen but Jamaican born Stephen Hopkins done a decent job. His previous titles include A Nightmare on Elm Street 5, Predator 2, which wasn't close to the first movie, Judgement Night, Blown Away, The Ghost in the Darkness, Lost In Space, Tube Tales, Under Suspicion, The Life and Death of Peter Sellers and The Reaping in 2007, starring Hilary Swank. He has also worked on numerous TV series like, 24, House of Lies, Californication, Shameless and the Unusuals, so he has quite a decent portfolio to date. With so much information available about Jesse Owens achievements, this movie seemed a bit safe, but with that aside, it's great that he brought this amazing story to light. I would have liked to have seen a top actor play the main role, like Will Smith did with Ali but that's not to say that Stephan James didn't do a good job. Although this film made a decent profit, it would be good to see a BIG budget version of Jesse Owens life, because it's truly an inspiring story that a lot of people can learn from.
Budget: $5million Worldwide Gross: $25million
I recommend this movie to people who are into their biography/history/dramas, starring Stephan James, Jason Sudeikis, Eli Goree, Jeremy Irons, William Hurt, Carice van Houten, David Kross, Shanice Banton, Tim McInnerny and Glynn Turman. 5/10
