This movie not only serves as a source of entertainment, but they convey a message to its viewers. To convey these messages, movies relate to the viewers lives and touch on their emotions. In the movie Coach Carter, it is evident that this movie is able to communicate deep messages that influence its viewers. After watching an awful game of Richmond versus Saint Francis, Ken Carter, the protagonist, takes up the basketball coaching job at Richmond High School. Being a steadfast man, Coach Carter deals with the disrespectful Richmond basketball team by issuing contracts and imposing harsh consequences when his players are out of line. Through hard discipline, the Richmond Oilers learn the meaning of respect and teamwork. This movie illustrates that people become so caught up with winning that they forget to recognize the irrational choices they are making. There were so many characters in the movie, but they all had very different personalities. If one has never seen the movie before, one can tell from the beginning that the coach plays a major part in the boy’s lives, on and off the court. Even though he is a basketball coach, his focus is not only on the boy’s success as a team, but their successes as an individual as well.
I felt that this movie had a true meaning. As the new basketball coach coming to Richmond High School was not a wrong decision, but a difficult position as a coach. Growing up in the world you learn many things about people. You have to learn from decision makings. In this movie you will see a well educated man who struggles in the beginning to help some basketball players make the right choices in
