TIQA of the movie "Coach Carter" This movie i watched "Coach Carter" was a very good movie. In my mind this movie is worth seeing again, it was a very inspirational movie and it moved me alot. This movie also taught me that hard work and dedication pays off in the end if you dont let any thing come through your path. This also taught me that attitude is a huge part in anything you do, becasue if you have a bad attitude on the basketball team or in the class room it can affect anything you do. If you have a bad attitude coaches or teachers will think that you are not a team player or a good student in the class room. This movie is very moving becasue there was a part in the movie where a player got an attitude and got kicked out the gym but he decied to take the easy path and not work for what he wanted and he quit. Then he realized that he wanted to become part of the team again so what he had to do to re-join the team was 500 sucideds and 1,000 push-ups and he had to have it done before the basketball practice was over, but when the practice was over he was not done with what he had to have done so the coach was going to kick him off until, the players on his team stepped up and said "i will do them for him" so they finished what he didnt get done and he was able to play on the team that was the part in the movie that moved me the most because it showed that the team was a family. Through out this movie i was happy and enjoyed it until the very end because they worked so hard to get to the state championship and lost it that part sucked, but overall its a great movie to watch and its very enjoyable.
