    CHARLESTON, W. Va.
    -- A movie about the first African-American to win college football's Heisman Trophy includes a dramatic scene from Morgantown, where fans hurl garbage and racial epithets at the player and his Syracuse teammates.

    However, the ugly incident did not happen, according to players on both sides.

    Express

    Truly, this is a must see movie!! It was funny, engaging and tragic. It was sad that a story so much like a movie had to be so factual. This is a movie that both a blind and deaf person would become begiled by the story line and the great acting.

    The movie brought "Remember the Titans" to mind but is was far more enjoyable. You become one with this humble and gifted athlete who is so different when compared to the highly paid "showboats" of today!!

    It was so hard to believe how difficult things were for minorities 50 years ago. Compare that time with one in which a man of color may actually become the President of this great Nation.

    This movie was "all that a bag of chips and a case of Snapple to go"!!! See it, I promise you that you will leave proud, sad and with tear streaked cheeks!!! Enjoy it, I did!!

    A great footbal flick!

    I took my 10 yr old son to see this movie, we are both huge college football fans, and this movie did not disappoint. It has a great message about working hard to accomplish your dreams, moving beyond what others expect of you, and how they qualify you. My son is still talking about the movie almost a week later. In a world of smash 'em up action flicks with very little or no intrinsic value, this movie was well worth the ticket price!

    The Express

    An excellent movie. As much or more about social and racial issues of the late 1950s and early 1960s as it is about football.

    The Express -- a great movie! -- from a Mom

     by  Ann

    I am the mother of two boys who was talked into seeing "The Express" this weekend. Wow, what a great movie! I thought it would be yet another sports movie. This is a great drama. The acting is superb. The cinematography is amazing -- especially the football game action shots. In these troubled times, it is so refreshing to see a well-crafted movie filled with hopes and dreams being fulfilled. Ernie Davis, as portrayed in this movie, remained so positive, so committed to his goals, despite every set-back. If you want to see an inspiring movie, see this one. (Note: Bring your hankie.)

    A inspirational story

    I knew going in that this wasnt soley a football movie, it was about the the trials&tribulations this man&many others like him went through in the 50's&60's during the civil rights movement.Football was secondary in telling this story.It wasnt to long ago that this happened&its still happening in america,its just that people are more discreet about it.There is a EXCELLENT interview on HBO with Bob Costas being joined by Henry Aaron&Willie Mays&they speak about many of these same things that were happening to black athletes.The cursing,the name calling,the death threats these men&their families recieved.It sounds unbelievable but to hear&see these men talk about their experience,strength&hope is amazing&powerful.
