The Great Debaters

(2009.10.12) I feel that the final battle with Harvard, as the most important one, still seems too short to be enjoyable. Some lines are very flavorful, and the power of fierce debate may lie in how much it can inspire people.

Who is the judge?
The judge is God.
Why is he God?
Because he decides who wins or loses. Not my opponeent.
Who is your opponent?
He does not exist.
Why does he not exist?
Because he is a mere dissenting voice of the truth I speak!

Watching this film again today after Obama took office seems to have verified this truth even more.

The Great Debaters quotes

  • Samantha: James, you know I value your friendship...

    James Farmer Jr.: How can you value something you never had?

    Samantha: So... we were never friends?

    James Farmer Jr.: Maybe I don't want to be just your friend. Maybe it HURTS me to be just your friend!

  • Melvin B. Tolson: We'll be one of the first Negro colleges to ever debate a white college. If we beat them, we beat the best.
