critics may invoke the police brutalities of oakland , ferguson , baton rouge and falcon heights while declaring that parker’s film , which opens oct . 7 , comes at an explosive time for u . s . race relations , but the dallas shootings put that tension in an even stronger light . this is a film about exasperation . it’s a film about breaking points . it’s a film , ultimately , about anger . and in 2016 , when attention around race and social barriers continues to trend upward , it makes “birth of a nation” — like “do the right thing” before it — all the more provocative .

the incredible true story of olympic legend jesse owens is vividly brought to life in race . in his epic quest to be the greatest athlete in history , owens ( stephan james , selma ) chooses to compete in the 1936 berlin olympics , where he must overcome not only elite competition , but also the brutal racial climate of adolf hitler ' s germany . also starring jason sudekis ( we ' re the millers ) and academy award winners jeremy irons and william hurt , race is a film about courage , determination , tolerance , friendship and trust that critics are calling " movie magic !

opening in sixth is the jesse owens biopic race ( read our review ) , which made just $ 7 . 2 million in its first three days . this has to be a disappointing result for focus features . the film received visible advertising ( especially during televised sports games ) to increase awareness , but it was done in by lukewarm reviews . many pundits described this one as a standard biopic that wasn ' t exactly " must see in theaters " material , which hurt its commercial prospects . it also did not help that race didn ' t have a bona fide star to sell the film . with interest low , race will most likely fade away now .

since there has only been one other telling of owens’ story ( the 1984 tv movie starring dorian harewood and debbi morgan ) “race” is to be commended for bringing a new generation to this american hero . i can see it being shown in high schools as a teaching tool and to track teams like the one i once ran on in my youth . but i’m giving the film a marginally negative grade for three reasons , none of which should prohibit you from seeing “race” if you so desire .

berlin is not the simplest place to make a film about the 1936 olympics . such are the country’s sensitivities about its past , it is illegal to give nazi salutes in public , or display party banners , or wear swastika armbands . when race was filming there , even off the streets , actors and extras had to cover their armbands between takes .

today a professor at brandeis university , hill says she has mixed feelings about the episode . she believes that the committee , led by joe biden , then the committee chair , didn’t offer her a fair hearing . the episode did inspire millions of women to speak out about sexual harassment and assault and encouraged many women to run for public office . hill spoke with time about why thomas’ declaration that the proceedings were a “high - tech lynching” hurt african - american women , how the 2016 presidential race will affect women’s rights and the evolution of feminism from the days of the monica lewinsky scandal to hillary clinton’s campaign for the country’s highest office .

if “race” does an efficient job of clarifying the issues , at no point do you feel that this is the whole story in all its complexity . leni riefenstahl ( carice van houten ) , the free - spirited german filmmaker whose acclaimed two - part 1938 film “olympia” documents the 1936 games , flits in and out of the movie , yet the friction between her and the suspicious goebbels is palpable .

mister smith entertainment , a joint venture between david garrett and constantin film , has a slate that includes russell crowe’s directorial debut “the water diviner” and dan fogelman’s directorial debut starring al pacino , christopher plummer , annette bening and jennifer garner . it’s also distributing constantin film’s romantic comedy “love , rosei , ” starring lily collins and sam claflin .

but director stephen hopkins often blunts the impact by giving the film a fine prestige gloss , a stately remove that makes it easier to see it as history , rather than the raw echo of the present that selma so recently presented . there are exceptions : the long , unbroken shot when owens first emerges into the berlin stadium has an immediacy and craft that the rest of the film lacks . the training montages crackle with a lively , cheeky energy . sudeikis brings his comic timing and an intriguing combination of ego and humility to his role . and the film is surprisingly sympathetic to german filmmaker leni riefenstahl , played by game of thrones ' carice van houten as a principled , fearless artist covertly resisting the nazi agenda . she makes for a sparkling presence in a male - dominated film . but snyder , riefenstahl , and owens all have the same problem in race : they ' re being flattened and idealized .

“race” tells the incredible true story of jesse owens , whose quest to become the greatest track and field athlete in history thrusts him onto the world stage of the 1936 olympics , where he faced off against adolf hitler’s vision of aryan supremacy .

race , helmed by stephen hopkins , is now shooting in montreal and berlin . anna waterhouse and joe shrapnel penned the script , about the real - life hero who won a record - breaking four olympic gold medals at the berlin olympics .

it ' s impossible in 2016 to watch a movie like race without considering what it means in the context of the black lives matter movement , when even the super bowl halftime show can spark race - driven protests . but the film ' s racial agenda couldn ' t be more placatory and safe . in a key scene , osu ' s all - white football team barks racist invective at the track team , and owens and his friends are distracted , frustrated , and demoralized . so snyder deliberately keeps his trainees in the locker room as the football team comes in , and as the players ' hateful protests become increasingly shrill , he lectures the runners on how to shut out the noise . it ' s one of hopkins ' more technically creative scenes : the football team ' s hatred eventually flattens into ignorable background noise , and then into polite silence . it ' s a nice trick , but a suspect message : just ignore racism and racist attacks , and they ' ll go away , leaving you to achieve your dreams in peace . if only the world were that simple .

based on the incredible true story of jesse owens , the legendary athletic superstar whose 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 hitler’s vision of aryan supremacy . “race” is an enthralling film about courage , determination , tolerance , and friendship , and an inspiring drama about one man’s fight to become an olympic legend .

it’s only the end of the world , xavier dolan’s drama about a terminally ill gay man’s emotional return to his fractious family , took a leading nine nominations in the film section of the candys , which were announced tuesday . the movie is also shortlisted in the oscars’ best foreign language film category , with nominations to be unveiled jan . 24 .

the film’s release is certainly timely ; it is the 80 th anniversary of 1936 olympic games in berlin , germany and we are preparing for rio’s summer olympics . it was in berlin where owens would make history as a civil rights icon that meant many things to many different constituencies . today his narrative is nothing less than complex . his story is as vexing to our understandings of race , sports , and global politics as it was in the 1930s . what we owe owens is more complexity and nuance . the film attempts to put this front and center through analyses of segregation in higher education , owens’ relationship with his coach , multiple forms of oppressions between races and ethnicities domestically and globally , and larger conversations about the place of politics in athletic arenas . on some of these points race hits its mark , but on others it misses .

president obama , during his speech at the dallas memorial on tuesday , offered a similar message of transparency when it comes to race relations : “if we cannot even talk about these things honestly and openly … we will never break this dangerous cycle . ”

though the film is due out in theaters this weekend , it’ll be a couple of years before “ race ” fully arrives in its most natural habitat : resource - starved high school history classrooms . which is not necessarily a bad thing . competently recounting a fairly can’t - miss historical episode — jesse owens’ nazi - defying triumph at the 1936 olympic games in berlin — and featuring a lead actor ( stephan james ) who impresses in spite of a strangely underdeveloped lead role , stephen hopkins’ film offers a safe , middlebrow slice of history that beats a snoozy lecture any day . making a few admirable attempts to complicate what could have been a standard - issue inspirational sports narrative , “ race ” is better than it has to be , but not by too much , and it should be expected to compete , but not medal , at the box office .

though the film sold more than $ 872 million in tickets worldwide , that total was still a disappointment in the current blockbuster arms race , in which marvel’s “captain america : civil war” has sold more than $ 1 . 1 billion globally since its release in may , and fox’s “deadpool , ” based on a marvel antihero with far less name recognition , has sold more than $ 782 million in tickets since it opened in february .

yes . fact - checking the jesse owens race movie confirmed that they indeed took a ship . the year was 1936 and trans - atlantic flights were still uncommon ( commercial aviation would not see a surge until after wwii , fueled in part by the planes manufactured during the war ) . crossing the atlantic ocean by ship was still the norm at that point . like in the race movie , all but the black athletes got first class cabins on the s . s . manhattan . - huffingtonpost . com

“race” is based on the incredible true story of jesse owens , the legendary superstar whose quest to become the greatest track and field athlete in history thrusts him onto the world stage of the 1936 olympics where he faced off against adolf hitler’s vision of aryan supremacy .

the bare necessities are there , the performances are competent , and there are some strong moments but race suffers from a lack of ambition . it ' s too safe and that quality mutes its impact and limits its ability to be more than a history lesson .

owens rankin , sitting yards from the spot where adolf hitler watched the 1936 olympics in which owens won four gold medals , said the film can deliver an uplifting message to young moviegoers .

pharrell williams , one of the film’s executive producers who also wrote several songs for the film , added his voice to calls for women’s role in science to be more widely acknowledged . “up until recently , a woman’s contribution to history has often been dismissed , discounted and often at times even erased from public acknowledgment , ” he told the directors guild of america last month .

viola davis’s historic emmy win served as an important milestone for african american actresses this week , but data suggest that the entertainment industry could do far more to achieve greater diversity in film .

" race " is not a great bio - pic , but it is a pretty good one . all of the performances are strong and it does a very good job of establishing the historical setting and context of 1930s america and nazi germany . the sub - plot of the great german filmmaker , leni riefenstahl and her filming the berlin games is interesting as is the subplot of the behind the scenes controversy as to whether the us should attend the games at all . but it is the story of jesse owens and his battle with white prejudice , black pressures , and nazi attitudes that is the main thrust of " race " . what keeps it from being great is that it suffers from the problem of " knowledge aforehand " . it is difficult to build much suspense with a well known story . but , that does not mean dull or boring . it would be a great film to sit down and watch with your kids to open up discussions about race and prejudice .

was less combative than predecessors shin morikawa and tatsuo matsumura had been , perhaps a deliberate attempt on the part of director yoji yamada to reflect the character ' s ( and tora - san ' s ) advancing years . certainly it wouldn ' t do to have a 45 - year - old tora - san and 60 - something uncle at each other ' s throats all the time .

tora - san shows up in shibamata with a sick baby , whom sakura takes to the same hospital where hiroshi was taken after an injury . in this 14th installment , tora - san falls in love with the young nurse ( yukiyo toake ) treating the infant , but he makes a mess of things when he visits her and sakura ' s choir group . from this entry forward , actor masami shimojo assumes the role of tora - san ' s uncle .

in " tora - san ' s lullaby " , the fourteenth film in this great series , shimojo masami arrives as the third ( and longest - running ) actor to play tora ' s uncle . the role fits him like a glove . while on the road in a picturesque seaside resort town in kyushu , tora tries to cheer up a man who has been left with the care of his incessantly crying infant son after his wife abandons him . much to tora ' s shock , after a night of drinking , the man disappears , leaving the baby with tora . tora swiftly returns to his aunt and uncle ' s home in tokyo , with the baby strapped to his back . they ( and the entire neighborhood ) assume that the baby is tora ' s illegitimate son . tora expects his sister sakura and his aunt to take care of the baby . tora wants nothing to do with the tyke . . . until a pretty nurse ( toake yukiyo ) visits toraya and coos over the infant . as usual , tora immediately falls for the nurse . one of the great charms of this film is to see how tora ' s childless aunt embraces the baby as her own and to see her disappointment when the baby ' s father arrives to reclaim him . over the course of the film , we see tora and the nurse develop a real friendship . when the nurse asks tora why he hasn ' t married , it seems that there is a chance that they might have a future together . tora then discovers that the director of a choir in which sakura and the nurse sing also is in love with the nurse . tora urges the director to tell the nurse of his love . tora never views the odd - looking director as a rival ; he assumes that the nurse will shoot the director down and that the director then will be able to seek a more realistic attachment . is there a future for tora and the nurse ? or has tora miscalculated and will the nurse embrace the choir director ? watch this delightful film to find out . i recommend " tora - san ' s lullaby " very highly .

yoji yamada was given the best director prize at the mainichi film awards for tora - san ' s dream - come - true and the next entry in the series , tora - san ' s forget me not ( 1973 ) . [ 7 ] stuart galbraith iv writes that the film is hit - and - miss , with some amusing sequences , but suffers due to the overly clownish professor character . one of the highlights of the film , according to galbraith , is the performance of the noted actress and director kinuyo tanaka . [ 4 ] the german - language site molodezhnaja gives tora - san ' s dream - come - true three out of five stars . [ 8 ]

there are other references to earlier entries , none sweeter than the bankbook tora - san carries around with him : it ' s a savings account he opened long ago in sakura ' s name , money he ' s saving on her behalf but which he often uses himself and which never gets much above $ 100 or so anyway . but his sincere gesture is touching nonetheless , and director / co - writer yoji yamada refers to it on and off throughout the run of the series .

he takes the baby home to shibamata , in tokyo , to the family sweets shop run by his aunt ( chieko misaki ) and uncle ( masami shimojo ) , just as they and tora - san ' s sister , sakura ( chieko baisho ) , her husband , hiroshi ( gin maeda ) , and the local priest ( chishu ryu ) wonder who will continue the kuruma line and assume ownership of the sweets shop , tora - ya , after auntie and uncle have passed away . when tora - san shows up with the infant strapped to his back , his family ( indeed , the entire neighborhood ) assumes the worst .

perhaps the best thing about the film is aunt tsune ' s motherly instinct toward the infant , and her bonding with a child everyone knows she won ' t ultimately be able to keep . the series ' back story , that sakura and tora - san were adopted by their aunt and uncle as children makes it easy to forget that aunt tsune never had children of her own , and this is explored with much sensitivity .

( otoko wa tsurai yo : torajiro komoriuta , or " it ' s tough to be a man : torajiro the babysitter , " 1974 ) is a typically fine entry with not much to distinguish it from the rest of the series , though it ' s still quite good . by this time , whether japanese audiences had realized it or not , part of the value of these movies was watching them in consideration of past entries and with the changing times , and in so doing they function in a way almost unique to motion pictures .

another factor becoming apparent to japanese audiences watching the films when they were new , and western world audiences catching up with them on dvd , is how much their very familiarity is a substantial part of their charm . over the past 14 films , released over the course of five years , audiences have seen sakura and hiroshi married , and followed their son mitsuo ' s growth from newborn to toddler . in this film gozen - sama , the buddhist priest played by ozu ' s regular actor chishu ryu , is first heard but not seen , yet those following the series will probably immediately be able to tell whose voice it is , so familiar have these characters become .

after hiroshi is injured in a workplace accident , torajiro gives sakura the money he has saved and leaves to work as a traveling salesman once again . during his travels , torajiro meets a father who shares a drink with him . in the morning , torajiro is shocked to learn that the man has left his baby behind and a note asking tora to take care of the child .

hoping to repay his family for the trouble he has caused them in the past , torasan gambles and wins at the horse races . he plans to give his uncle and aunt a vacation in hawaii , but the travel agent turns out to be a con - artist , and makes off with his money . torasan falls in love with haruko , a young kindergarten teacher who is renting a room in his uncle ' s home .

is an " above - average entry in this consistently excellent series " . he points out that some of the film ' s humor may be lost on western viewers since it stems from the contrast between tokyo and osaka culture . director yamada , according to galbraith , " obviously favors rural , remote japan to sprawling urban landscapes like osaka , " but nevertheless , " the film plays as a heartfelt valentine to the city and its people . "
