    I do! its different to "learn" about the past, when a movie is done you get more insight and meaning from the experience...

    Hello. Just thought I would respond to you directlyh. I love the story lines and of course the sport that are being play in between. Most sports biopics tell you something that you might not have otherwise never know about the main and supporting characters.

    Have a good day.

    It was great to see Harrison Ford pull off this roll. I read that Brian Helgeland was hesitant for Ford to play the role b/c he represents such iconic characters as Indiana Jones. I'd have to say though, that after the introductory scene with Ford as Branch Rickey, I completely forgot he was anything but the Brooklyn Dodgers executive. Persistence made this role happen for Ford. He wanted it, and Im glad he pushed for it and Heigeland said yes. Great movie.
