*Movie marathon* Coach Carter

The movie was based from a true story of a basketball coach, coach Ken Carter along with his basketball team in Richmond San Francisco. This type of movie is often enjoyable to watch
as it focuses in sports, and when a proper storyline is used.... effective outcome you'll get.

Plot:
Samuel L Jackson that plays the role as Coach Carter is an owner of a sports goods shop somewhere in Richmond. Despite his plan of spending his time with his lovely wife, a call from Richmond Oilers High changed his path from that day onwards. As a former graduate from Richmond Oilers, he was offered a job that he had never expected before... A basketball coach for his former school.. The current coach, Sir Ray White has done his best and yet the team seemed lost and continue to tearing apart.. He figured out if there is someone who can make changes its Carter.. Looking at the terrible performance and attitude of the boys.. Carter was pushed to take the challege.

Carter sets his aims in his mind.. Turning the boys into someone that are well balance in both in and out of the court.. Making them winners in every aspect.. Changing them from boys to men.. Using his own way, he knows the only way the boys can survive living inside the rotten community is by having education.. The boys was handed a piece of contract that they are forced to sign if they want to keep playing "ball".. The contract states that the boys must keep a 2.3 G.P.A in class, to go and sit in front of the class and wear a proper apparel during match day.. At first, the boys thought that its a "b*ll s***!!!"If i were in their place i would have think the same seriously.. Some of the players left knowing these ridiculous requirements.. however, after sending Cruz out of the gym for misbehave.. they know this carter guy is definitely serious and not someone they can mess with..

Carter's extreme workout routine and motivational advise made the boys break their mental and physical boundaries.. His advise is not mere advise, he manage to get the message landed deep inside the boys heart and this really produce something even to the viewers. Truly creative.. Damien the coach's son who eventually team up with the team had to work out his own way to earn the team respect.. Carter knows he had to treat everyone the same to make things work out.. this is a real joy to watch.. the boys were expecting carter to give him special privilege but no.. its not going to happen and in the end the team blends nicely. Everything seems to be place after the team was on a winning streak.. they were undefeated and heading towards the state championship when... the results of the boys came to his desk.. it was a blunder to carter when he founds out most of the boys were doing poorly in class.. He went to the extreme by locking the gym and canceling their practice and games. Though he faces the protest from the whole community, he still stand up to his principle that until the boys can show him an acceptable academic performance he wont let them play.. the community just cannot see what carters eyes view ahead.. they only think that this basket ball is the only way their children can have a brighter future.. if they fail thats it.. later on the community voted to end the lockout..

Carter was thinking to drop the position as coach.. However in his way to the gym he founds out the locks was already being cut off.. its a real surprise when the boys were inside the gym but not playing ball.. they were studying!.. it looked a bit cliche though still acceptable.. It is then he knows that the boys finally understand that their deepest fear is not the weakness but the strengh instead.. they were afraid of their strengh that made them playing small.. its was truly an inspiration especially when cruz was the one giving the message.. One of the best movie i have ever watched..
