Brooklyn Castle 2012 123movies

Watch: Brooklyn Castle 2012 123movies, Full Movie Online – Amidst financial crises and unprecedented public school budget cuts, Brooklyn Castle takes an intimate look at the challenges and triumphs facing members of a junior high school’s champion chess team..
Plot: Brooklyn Castle is a documentary about I.S. 318 – an inner-city school where more than 65 percent of students are from homes with incomes below the federal poverty level – that also happens to have the best, most winning junior high school chess team in the country. (If Albert Einstein, who was rated 1800, were to join the team, he’d only rank fifth best.) Chess has transformed the school from one cited in 2003 as a “school in need of improvement” to one of New York City’s best. But a series of recession-driven public school budget cuts now threaten to undermine those hard-won successes.

For the Democrat Chess-Lover
If you’re a lover of the game of chess and especially for those of who who subscribe to the Democratic Party philosophy of taking from others to give to your own causes, then this might be a movie for you. I thought it was going to be a movie about giving kids a chance to pull themselves up and out by achieving but it is, alas, a movie about complaining about greedy bankers who killed the economy instead. I’d like, for once, to see an honest movie about all who share the blame, including continuing to spend money we don’t have and can no longer pay back. You think it’s sad that kids can’t play chess without funds? That’s the very least of our troubles. These kids can take up to seven classes a week in chess. What? Seven classes for a fun, non-necessary skill? Can they read? Can they think independently? Can they do math and follow logic? Do they have the economic and financial basis for becoming productive citizens? Where are those classes? Do they know supply and demand? Guns vs. butter?

A glimmer of hope for future generations.
Fantastic, inspirational, warm-hearted true story–a can’t miss documentary. Goes on a little longer than it probably should, but watching the improbable story unfold is unquestionably captivating.

“Brooklyn Castle” is a documentary about I.S. 318 – an inner-city school where more than 65 percent of students are from homes with incomes below the federal poverty level – that also happens to have the best junior high school chess team in the country. Chess has transformed the school from “school in need of improvement” in 2003, to one of New York City’s best. But a series of recession-driven pubic school budget cuts now threaten to undermine those hard-won successes.

The second act of the film loses its sense of direction, but finds its footing again in the third act when the focus is on the kids and the intense competition of the tournaments. If you feel that the country’s educational system is in a perpetual downward spiral, and no one really cares, be sure to give it a watch. It’s sure to give you at least some hope for our nation’s future.
