The TVI Take
Norman Jewison's 1999 Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter biographical film anchored by Denzel Washington's Oscar-nominated performance as the middleweight boxer wrongfully imprisoned for 19 years on triple-murder charges. The structural commitment to letting period-1960s-and-70s racial-political cognitive material be rendered at Hollywood biographical scale, and Washington's months-of-boxing-training physical commitment, is canonical late-1990s prestige biographical work.
