Remember The Titans (DVD)

The Storyline Remember The Titans is based in Alexandria in 1971, where American Football is more important to the way of life than family morals. On top of that the town is split by racial segregation which was still common place at the start of the 70's. When the town is forced into integrating the all white school with the all black school, racial emotions erupt which unsettles the town right down to the core. With the integration comes the ...

Review of Remember The Titans (DVD)

...story from the early 70's, Remember The Titans is all about racial intergration within a small town and the emotional rollercoaster that followed. With a number of subplots and high emotions this film works on a number of levels. The story begins when the town of Alexandria decides to force the issue of racial intergration between the black and white communities, including the schools. The black high school and the white one are forced to merge and ...
...such a masterpiece. Overall Remember The Titans is an extremely uplifting and positive film aimed at people of all ages. There is no profanity in the film and the only violence in the film is from pushing and shoving and the roughness from the actual game scenes. Even if you have no clue about American Football you will most probably still like this film because it focuses more of the story behind the team. With another supreb performance from Denzel ...

...1971. I do well remember the year 1971, as it is the year that my parents separated. It was a time when America was struggling with desegregation. Neither side was happy; it seemed that many were wondering if the right choice had been made to integrate schools and neighborhoods. This particular social problem is paramount to the storyline of this remarkable movie and is very realistically portrayed. “Remember the Titans” got off to an engaging start ...

I saw this film while in New York. The film stars Denzel Washington as an american football coach called Herman Boone. He comes to a part of america in the late 50's/early 60's where any other colour other than white is frowned upon. He takes up a job as head coach to the school pushing out longtime football coach Bill Yoast (Will Patton). Naturally at first there is some tension in the community with Boone not getting much support. He brings blacks ...
...Naturally there is more tension. HOwever he takes all the players on a training camp where naturally he teahces them all to get along. This in turn makes the team play better and actually brings the blacks and whites together in the community eventually. Now on reading the above you'd probably think that the film sounds a bit sentimental and isn't anything new. You'd be right but the film is handled in such a way that it becomes gripping, emotional, ...

It's an adaptation of a true story. The year is 1971, and in Virginia, TC Williams High School has just become the first mixed race school in the district. The first group to experience the racial tension is the football team, whose existing coach has been forced to move aside to let a new, black coach, Coach Boone takeover. The team is split right down the middle when they go to camp. There's one big white guy wanting to do defence, who is the ...
...still whites against blacks, but slowly things change. By the end of the training camp, they are a team and, more importantly, they are friends, and feel that they can take on the world. But when they return home, instead of a welcome, they find controversy, as every white member of the community is opposed to the co-race school, and especially the co-race football team. They win their first match but slowly their friends, who are bigots, attempt ...

Don’t let yourself be put off by the football aspect, and you’ll find a warm tale about the struggle for independence, recognition and social acceptance in a Disney story that is must-see film of 2001. Denzel Washington is a coach in 1971, Virginia, brought in to train the football team of a newly culturally integrated school, despite the prejudice around him. When he discovers that if his team losses just one game he’s sacked, ...
...trust and respect one another regardless of race. What’s great about this film is its strategically placed comedy throughout the film, keeping the interest of viewers who may find the football storyline tedious. Will Patton as assistant coach is also marvellous but the young cast steal the show as the team’s misfits members, proving themselves as up-and-coming stars. ...

This film is based on a true story from the 1970's when schools were being integrated in Virginia, USA. The film follows the story of two united schools and how mixing the black students and whote students has its problems, but they can be over come. We focus on the school American football team, the Titans. A new coach is brought into try and balance out the states quota on black/white coaches, and happens to take over this school. He makes it ...

Remember The Titans is a touching story of High School Football (that's American football) and the problems and strife between integration of black and white schools. Being forced to integrate causes initial problems for the team, who previously made up of only white players, had had 15 winning seasons with their white coach - played by Will Patton. When a black coach, played superbly by Denzel Washington, is given the job the white players threaten ...

Following an intensive training camp the film follows the development of the team and the way the different skin coloured team mates begin to gel and respect each other. However, returning home, the players find that their new found respect for each other is short lived and hard to maintain when the rest of the town sees differently. Problems of racial seggregation and tension ...

This real life drama is absolutely epic. If not the best film I've ever seen, most definitely one of the best films I've ever watched in my life. The true story of uniting the different races in Washington came from the football team the Titans. Bill Yoast (Will Patton) is forced to work with Herman Boone (Denzel Washington) in the new mixed-race football team. They have completely different views but together overcome them and teach the rest of ...
...this amazing film you not only witness changes to the football team as a whole but you also see different personalities and characters develop for the better. This film is an outstanding film, particularly because it is true. It just means so much more to people like me if I know it really did happen and so much good has been rewarded because of these noble people. I would recommend this film to absolutely anyone.

I'm not a sports fan, and I definitely know nothing about American Football, so I didn't really expect to enjoy this film when I took my friend's young son out for the afternoon. The film stars Denzel Washington as a coach who is trying to fight the racism in a newly mixed race schools football team. He doesn't do this by being wishy washy and liberal, but by being a very hard coach who teaches the team that thety can only win if they play as a ...
...very well paced with lots of action scenes of training and football matches, with the boys new relationships growing,forming an interesting backdrop. The team had its heroes and villains, comics and sadcases and their joint fight to win gave the film excitement as well as its moral. My young friend and I enjoyed this enormously, and whilst not a classic movie a good afternoon out. ...

We explore the growing relationship between two strong characters Gerry Bertier, who is a young white player, and Julius Campbell, who is a young black player. They are brought together within the team when Coach Boone (Denzel ...

The camaraderie between the two sets the scene for the entire film and it is there ...
