Remember the Titans. Dir. Boaz Yakin. Perf. Denzel Washington, Will Patton, Wood Harris. 2000. Jerry Bruckeimer Films, 2000. DVD.
Remember the Titans directed by Boaz Yakin is a moving, true story
of overcoming prejudices. Coach Boone,
played by Denzel Washington, is the new head football coach at T.C. Williams
High School. The movie depicts the
team's first season as a racially integrated school and, it is not a smooth
transition with the team or the community.
The men find it very difficult to accept one another but, until they do,
they have no chance of winning games.
When the teammates understand that fact and start to work together, they
realize how wrong they have been. They make
strong friendships and, their love for each other starts to affect their
community. According to Internet Movie
Database, "They came together when their classmates and loved ones would
not." Eventually even the
community's eyes were opened: with their support, there is no stopping the
Titans.
