Jesse Owens quest to become the greatest track and field athlete in history thrusts him onto the world stage of the 1936 Olympics, where he faces off against Adolf Hitlers vision of Aryan supremacy. Beautifully told lies are still lies, and this film is one gigantic lie. With Stephan James, Jason Sudeikis, Eli Goree, Shanice Banton. Everything but the fictional propaganda of a script, full of more lies than Trump and Clinton told all year, and ending with a totally fabricated meeting between Owens and Reifenstal, one last attempt to rescue her reputation and bastardize history. Why the history lesson and very little about the film? Because films like this which pervert history distort this and future generation's understanding of the times and the people. Additionally, Leni Reifenstal supported the Nazis and Hitler without reservation throughout the regime, and if she indeed prevailed to film Owens, it was for the sake of the film, not because she rejected Hitler's racism and anti-semitism. Brundage was absolutely explicit in his contempt for Owens, Jews, and African-Americans, and never made ANY protests over the treatment of Owens or any other American. For me, one of the most compelling stories in our history was totally ruined by the complete re-writing of history to vindicate the American racist anti-semitic Brundage, one of the most vile, despicable, destructive forces in the history of sport, not just for America but the world. The main underlying objective of this movie seems to be that Avery Brundage wasn't the renowned corrupt amoral Nazi sympathizer and racist anti-semite that history knows him to have been. And, Leni Reifenstal WAS a Nazi and supported Hitler and his actions throughout the war and its buildup without reservation. Characters change their characteristics at the blink of an eye as the story rushes towards a high octane climax with betrayal, fast guns, fast cars and sleek action never seen before on the Indian screen. To portray him as this farcical film does, as a hero fighting for Jesse Owens so perverts history that it should be a crime. Race 3 1.9 2 h X-Ray 16+ Race 3 is the grand saga of a family that deals in borderline crime but is ruthless and vindictive. Attention younger generations: Avery Brundage was an unapologetic and unbending racist Nazi sympathizer.
