Review of The Greatest

The Greatest is a movie that can be best appreciated by those who are 18 and older. The movie discusses more than black and white issues. The movie depicts the fighter, Mohammad Ali as truly a unique individual in this biographical sketch of the period of between Cassius Clay returning to America from the Olympics after winning his gold medal through his transformation into Mohammad Ali and his boxing bouts with Frasier and Forman. Mohammad Ali lived true to his convictions. The movie portrays him as a man who knew what was right, knew what he wanted, and most importantly, knew how to get it. The Greatest also tells of his fight with the US Army and his refusal to be inducted into the Armed Forces. The movie requires your full attention. It is unusual that the star of the movie is the man the movie is about. How does one "act" to be oneself. The movie has a decent storyline. The movie requires your full attention and there is no time for popcorn here. Save it for after the movie when discussing the movie with friends.
