It means EAGLE. Spelling the name Akeela is probably more neutral, and could go either way. Somebody just made it all up. Timothy Clemans 1. September 2. 00. 6 (UTC). The Scripps National Spelling Bee is factual.
However, when Akeelah and Dylan are declared co- champions at the end, that clearly never happened. Mathnerd. 31. 4 1. November 2. 00. 6 (UTC)Actually, twice in spelling bee history, a co- champion has been declared.

Poem? I cannot find it anywhere. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.' We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? One of the critical reviews even violates Godwin's Law and has no place in an objective encyclopedia! I'm pretty sure this movie isn't that controversial; I have never met a single person who saw the film and didn't like it. The only people I've met who didn't like the film are Don Imus- esque racists who have never even seen it and have no plans to ever see it.
And I've only met one or two of them in my life! I admit I may be a bit biased in favor of the movie, but I want to counter any misinformation on Wikipedia, to prevent this movie from becoming the next John Seigenthaler Sr. As this is one of my first edits, please forgive me if I .
If no one provides a valid explanation for why the criticism section (or parts of it) should be left intact, I'll probably delete the whole section in a few days. Cheers,- -Stonemason.
September 2. 00. 7 (UTC)I just took another look at the reviews and the problem seems even worse than I first thought it was. The reviewers have names like .
Obviously, they are not Asian- American! If they were, then there would be at least some justification for keeping them in. But how is a guy named . I'm white, but I'm okay with that; it's pretty much how history turned out. Nobody else gives a darn, either.
So why all the uproar when there's an Asian character used as the antagonist? He's not even a . At the end of the film, even his father is . His father is hardly portrayed as a . She gets quite domineering at times, too, but she also softens up toward the end. I know what I'm talking about, too. I go to a largely white, high school but at least 4.
Hispanic, or Asian. It's always been that way; I'm something of a Maniac Magee by nature.
So I have a good understanding about race relations here in America. And I highly doubt that even one of my Asian classmates would be offended by this film. It seems like the highfalutin whites who write those kind of reviews are more offended by (real or imagined) stereotypes of minorities in the media than the minorities themselves are!
Why do Asians need some white, liberal movie critic to tell them what they should and should not be offended by? They are smart enough to decide that themselves.
These ultra- politically- correct movie reviewers are probably more motivated by assuaging their own white guilt then by genuine racial sensitivity; they're insincere! That's what ticks me off about political correctness; I'm all for racial sensitivity, but we should listen to people who are actually qualified to talk about racial issues.- -Stonemason. September 2. 00. 7 (UTC)Rather than deleting the criticism section, maybe give a shorter and more nuanced view.
Unless the criticism is completely unnotable. Nothing inherently wrong with having a minority play the anti- hero. The only way you could . People are always misstating Godwin's law and making false statements about its intent and its annoying.
Should I have said that it verifies Godwin's Law instead? Honestly, the things that make some people annoyed.. Anyway, I just returned to this page after several months (sorry I haven't edited it in a while; I just .
It looks as if the most blatant . That is not true, there are at least three (two of which are spoken by Akeelah's own brother). These other examples include: Terrence (Akeelah's brother): . If anyone disagrees with me, just feel free to speak up. Other than that, it looks as if Kwami (or whoever it was) has done a pretty good job of cleaning up this article.
I'm going to remove the POV tag, although I'll probably come back once in a while, just out of curiosity. It's also worth noting that Akeelah and Dylan are tied at the end of the movie (sorry for the spoiler). I could understand why people would be upset if they had shown her . Actually, the 2. 00. ESPN and ESPN2, and footage from those broadcasts was used in the film. So the film didn't cause the bee to be broadcast on television; the broadcasts were already happening before the film came out.
