Although "The Great Debaters" does not open until Christmas, I had the good fortune of seeing it at a preview -- and I can recommend it without reservation.
It is a great story, based on real events that most of us never heard of, about a debating team from Wiley College, a small black institution in rural Texas, that performs extraordinary feats because the kids are good and the team is taught by Mel Tolson, a real person, acted by Denzel Washington, who also directs. The participation in this enterprise of Washington, Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey and the Weinstein brothers should draw crowds provided the film isn't cursed by being described as "uplifting," though it is.
The revelation in this film are the performances of the three principal debaters: Jurnee Smollett as Samatha Booke with an "e", as she proclaims when she tries out for the debate team , Nate Parker as Henry Lowe also with an "e" as he announces in response to Samantha's declaration and Denzel Whitaker as James Farmer Jr. It's an amusing coincidence, but he is unrelated either to Denzel Washington or to Forrest Whitaker.
You may have seen Jurnee Smollett earlier in her career when she was a "cute kid" and a promising actress. This film could be her portal to stardom. In addition to being a gorgeous young woman, she's also an accomplished actress, ready for bigger parts in the future. You'll also be impressed with her colleagues, people whose names you may never have heard. You don't have to be black to find this film engrossing; I'm not. All you need to be is a a human being and b someone who appreciates a good movie.
I hope it makes a ton of money at the box office but it is, above all, a quality film. It just happens to be about a difficult period in American history, the rural South in the 's. It just happens to be inspirational and uplifting and all that good, boring stuff that cause your eyes to roll when that's how the critics describe it. But it's better than uplifting. Details Edit.
