Pride of Yankees (Great Depression)

The movie is based on the true story of Lou Gehrig, a famous baseball player. Lou Gehirg is born in middle class family. His mother was a cooker in Columbia University. He like to play baseball since he was young but his mother wanted him to be an engineer like his uncle. Lou very loved his mother so he joined Columbia University. Also, as the same time he joined university baseball club. One day his mother was sick and he need money so he had to go town of Harvard for money. His mother think that he going to Harvard University. So he had to lie his mother. He succeed with the team and later come back to join New York Yankee. He was called "Tanglefoot" because he fall over the bats, person who called hime was Eleanor,later became Mrs Gehrig. He was famous with the Yankees. He promised one sickness boy that he going to strike 2 ball for him in the game. He did it. He married with Eleanor. He won many award. Unfortunately, he was sick and cannot play baseball.After playing a baseball for 2130 games in 16 years. In the last scene, they were a farewell for Lou at the Stadium.

Lou Gehrig is g genius baseball player. He not give up and relly love baseball. Eventhough, he was a sportman but he's really romantic person. He's famous but still take care of the society. He teach children how to play baseball.

From the movie, I can see that people in that period crazy about the sport and educational. Also, they are many immigration as I can see from the accent of Lou's mother. There is an evelator in the doctor office. At the last part the movie is very sad when Lou know that he was sick and going to die especially when his wife tied the necktie for him.
