Summary: Remember the Titans
Review: This was a movie that, when I had seen previews for it, I thought that it would be interesting to see; but then forgot all about it. My husband authored the disk and brought it home one night to show me. I loved the movie. It's inspirational and motivating; you want to get off your couch or lazy-boy and go do something great with your life. Everyone in my family loved it as well...Densel was great.

Summary: Remember the Titans
Review: This movie totally blew mw awy! Denzel Washington is at the top of his game as Coach Boone. My mother is always speaking of Bryan's Song - which I have never seen. This one tells the true story of the integrated high school football team in the early seventies with emotion, fun, and great on-field action. There are humorous moments, exciting moments, and moments of heart-wrenching emotion. It is definately not just a football movie. It is for everyone - young and old alike. There is not enough one can say about this terirfic movie!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Do not miss this movie, even if you're not a sports fan!
Review: This is one of the most inspiring films I have ever seen. Denzel Washington does a superb job as Coach Boone, the newly hired head coach of the Titans high school football team. The time frame is 1971 during the time of forced integration in the South, when tempers ran high and hate filled the hearts of both blacks and whites. The displaced head coach Yost, who was white, stayed on reluctantly, as an assistant coach, just to keep the original team from walking off.

I am not a football fan, not even close, but the outstanding acting by the entire cast had me riveted to my sofa not wanting to miss any of the story. In fact, I think I watched it at least twice, maybe three times, just because I wanted to share it over and over again with different friends. Can Coach Boone pull this team together when race lines are all the players can think about? The answer to this question will have you riveted, too. Because the film was based on a true story makes it all the more profound.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great sports movie, but a spectacular drama film
Review: In the racially segregated early 1970's, many high schools, especially in the South, were still either all black or all white. It seemed like there was no way to succesfully mix the two races at the time in certain parts of the country.

"Remember The Titans" is about Coach Boone (Dezel Washington) coming to a white high school in early 1970's Virginia to take over the head coaching spot from the extremely popular and classic Coach Yoast (Will Patton). Not only is this a big deal because Coach Yoast is so popular with his team and the school, but Coach Boone happens to be black and Coach Yoast is white. But this doesn't mean anything to Coach Boone because he just wants to win, no matter what it takes.

I'm not going to reveal much of the main plot itself other than to say that "Remember The Titans" is mainly a film about showing how different races can either come together, work together as a team and get along, or not come together at all.

"Remember The Titans" is without a doubt one of the best films of the year 2000. It has everything in it that football fans could want, such as fast-paced action on the field and hits that seem to be harder than a 50-MPH truck. But even more, it's about two different races who try to come together as one.

Denzel Washington is the true star of this film, but almost everybody, football players included, did a great job of portraying their characters in a realistic sense. As for Denzel, this is without a doubt one of his best efforts to date, if not his best.

Growing up in and still living in Alabama, I've seen and I still see a lot of racial segregation between blacks and whites every day. Myself, I'm not prejudice, I believe that people are people, that we should be judged on who we are, not what color we are. That being said, I believe "Remember The Titans" shows a great example of how racial prejudice could be overcome. Not saying that football is the answer, but teamwork and friendship could be.

I can't put everything about how great "Remember The Titans" is in words because that would mean giving away the biggest surprises and too much of the plot. Just as long as you like drama movies or if you've witnessed first-hand the difficulties between blacks and whites in your life, but you don't agree with it, at least watch "Remember The Titans." If you feel strongly about the subject and especially if you like football even one bit, go ahead and purchase this film. It will be money well spent.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Overrated, cotton candy movie
Review: I still can't believe I got talked into seeing this poorly acted, poorly written schmaltzfest. This movie is nothing more than yet another pedistal for perpetually put-upon Denzel Washington to preach his whiney gospel. Denzel is one of the most overrated actors in Hollywood today, and Remember the Titans is a shining example of that. NO STARS!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Remember?
Review: Okay, I'll admit it -- I've never been a big Disney fan. I'll go out on a limb here and say that I've never been a big football fan, either. Obviously when going to see this movie, then, one could say that I had the usual expectations -- a bunch of jocks sappily growing to like each other in the traditional Disney style.

I was totally off-base on that one! This was one of the really cool movies, for a number of different reasons. The movie begins the same way that it later ends -- at a funeral. We don't know who the funeral is for at first, but we don't really care -- why? Because an attractive young lady with a southern accent is telling us a story -- the story of the Titans football team in Virginia in the 1970's.

Blacks and whites didn't get along, meaning they certainly didn't play high school football together. The new head coach at T.C. Williams High School plans to change all of that, however. Coach Herman Boone (Denzel Washington) is "given" this job by school board bureaucrats who want to remain politcally correct. Former Head Coach Bill Yost (Will Patton) stays on the team as Assistant Head Coach.

Racial tensions are obviously flaring at this point -- Yost is pissed off because Boone stole his job and wants blacks to play on the team -- Boone is pissed off simply because there's so much racial tension. When it's time for the blacks and whites to go away to camp with one another, the whites immediately go to "their bus" and the blacks go to theirs. Boone corrects this -- he organizes his team, not by color, but by "offensive" and "defensive."

The team goes away to camp and with the strict guidance of Coach Boone most of the players become friends with one another. While at camp, we encounter what begins as "the problem of homosexuality," but by the end of the film becomes "the acceptance of homosexuality" -- nicely done by a Disney film!

Returning from camp, the Titans go on to win every game they play and make it to the championship against a "can't-lose" team. On top of this, star player Gary Burteer becomes paralyzed. The big question becomes: Will the team be able to win without Gary?

The acting is excellent -- throughout the movie, it's important to remember that the actors are portraying real people as this movie was based on a true story. Washington plays Boone perfectly -- he's strict and rarely let's up, yet we see why he's so strict and why it's so important for him to succeed. Similarly, Patton portrays Yost with just the right amount of initial jealousy and eventual acceptance of the situation he must share with his head coach.

See this movie -- it will make you realize that seeing a person's color is okay, as long as you appreciate it as part of the person. Remember the Titans succeeds in teaching viewers about prejudice, leadership, and attitude. Rating: 4 / 4.

Summary: Titans and Berry College
Review: Remember the Titans is a movie everyone should see. It is one movie that had the potential to appeal to everyone. I have seen it numerous times because it is so good, but also because parts of it were filmed at my college and high schools in my area. The part where the team is at football camp was filmed at Berry College in Rome, GA. Some of the Football games were filmed at high schools in the Metro Atlanta Area. I love to watch this movie because I have actually seen and stood where the movie was filmed.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Everyone Should Find Something In It
Review: I'm not a fan of sports-related movies. That in mind, I wasn't expecting to like this one either. However, I found more than just football in it. The issue of race in this movie was well done, I thought, except for one thing--the reason this movie got only got four stars--the interracial relationships seemed to blossom out of almost nowhere in no time. I would have found a more gradual change more believeable. I also didn't really like Sheryl's character--simply overdone and overacted. Other than that, though, an enjoyable feel-good movie. I like it and I think you will, too.

Rating: 4 stars
