42 was on TV and I had nothing better to do so I watched it despite still not figuring out how the baseball is played (it is a shame on me, after all these films).
Predictably I shed tears and liked the overall story of how a man dislikes racism in baseball and decides to do something about it. He recruits a black player to the major league and people learn to deal with that. Racism is something scary and sports seem to be a good point to start to get rid of it. People care about their teams and if a player makes them win they get used to him/her even if he/she is blue.
All in all it was a good passtime that afternoon but I won't go out of my way to watch it again.
