Summary: Too bad more people are not tolerant...
Review: Denzel Washington has been ignored by the awards for too long. He was absolutely stunning in this one...It is really too bad more people cannot judge people by their character and not their color.I really hope some narrow minded biggot thinks about his or her attitudes after this one...People are people, good or bad, but it has nothing to do with color.

Summary: DENZEL ~ DENZEL ~ DENZEL!!
Review: This story takes place in Alexandria, Virginia, 1971 ~ T.C. Williams High (an all white school) has just integrated to allow blacks to attend. They have also hired Coach Herman Boone (played by Denzel Washington), a black coach to take over T.C. High's football coaching, over the white coach, Bill Yoast (played by Will Patton) who has been coaching for years. This brilliant movie shows how this highschool football team, headed by Coach Boone & Yoast, can unite almost the WHOLE school as well as the city of Alexandria, to see past ignorance, racism, and hate! Ryan Hurst, Donald Adeosun Faison, Wood Harris, Craig Kirkwood, & Kip Pardue are wonderful additions as well, playing the white and black football players who decide to see past color and unite as brothers. What an AMAZING and inspirational story ~ and it ACTUALLY happened!! Is there anything Denzel Washington can't achieve in the acting world?!! The DVD features are wonderful also ~ you actually get to meet the REAL Coach Boone and Coach Yoast and even see some of the ACTUAL players. This is an excellent movie to for all ages, and has some of the best football scenes I've seen since VARSITY BLUES and ANY GIVEN SUNDAY!! A+

Review: I just saw this really good movie called Remember The Titans. People that like football will probably like it. I am going to give you just a little bit of information about it.Its a really good movie about football that showed how African American's were treated back then.When it came down to football they were forced to like eachother and get along.They finally come to realize they are the same, the only difference is the color of there skin.Finally in the end,well i wont tell you how it ends,but I am sure you will like this movie.This is why I think you all sould see this movie.

Summary: Denzel at his best again!
Review: This movie was excellent. It's not all about football but about how difficult we made life by hating each other, and not to judge people about the color of their skin, but by who they are. Denzel was great in this movie, like his usual sefl. Some viewer complains that Denzel portraits the same character in mostly all his movie, but the movie industry do not give many black actors the opportunity to engage in role that they prefer. Basically, you get a role at what you do best. In an Interview, Denzel said that he would love to play a romantic role but he has been proposed. In acting, you have to make the money, when given the chance.

Summary: Remember This Movie!!
Review: This movie should be remembered for its accurate portrayal of race relations. Denzel Washington is shown as a no nonsense coach who does not care about ther ace game that seems to shadow this movie. He has a job to do and just wants to do it without any fan fare. Different points of view are represented throughout this movie as there are some people in favor of integration and some who are not. It goes to show you that some people can change and others are a lot less willing. In the end, Denzel Washington creates a strong unity on his team within reasonable parameters. Not everyone likes each other. But in the end, they all learn to respect each other. Several good side bar stories with the car accident leaving one football player paralyzed and the relationship chagnes over the course of the movie. A winner undoubtedly.

Summary: Remember The Titans
Review: Yes, I think I can Remember The Titans just as soon as I forget the Chicago Enforcers. The Titans went a whole season without lost one game. This is based on a true story.Denzel Washington plays Harold Boone, a strict football coach. Harold sets a time when the players should show up to a bus for camp. Or they will sit out the whole season on the bench. He replaces the Titans white coach named Bill Yoast. He is played by Will Patton. His nine years old daughter doesn't like her father not being the coach. The Titans are a high school team. Haydenn Panettiere plays Bill's daughter named Sheryl Yoast. At a game, the players sing "We are the Titans." And thier foe coach saids, "Who do they think they are the Beatles?" I am not a big football fan. But I did enjoy this movie. The movie mostly takes place in 1971. In Chicago we now have two football teams, The Chicago Bears and the Chicago Enforcers. If you like movies based on a true story, then I can I think you might enjoy My Dog Skip.

Summary: At It Again
Review: I love football movies. I love movies about important cultural events. It would stand to reason I'd love this movie, and there was only one thing in the way. I am sick to death of Denzel Washington portraying the self-righteous, unsung black hero. There's no doubt he's good at it. And I guess if you were going to be type cast, this would be a great category. But it ruined the movie for me, because as I watched it, I thought - there goes Denzel, at it again. Even in moments of weakness his characters are portrayed as flawless, eliciting a "He's human, that makes it even better," response. Not for me. Besides that, the story is moving and triumphant. The telling attribute of the film is its ability to take the viewer from seeing nothing but black and white at the beginning, to not noticing the difference by the end. In this way, the viewer him/herself is part of the integration process and experiences the disintegration of barriers. The movie is at times funny, tragic and uplifting, but on the whole forgettable. Aerriel rating: Renter.

Summary: In Lesser Hands, the Sentimentality would have taken over.
Review: "Remember the Titans" looked like it could so easily have been turned into Mushy, Sentimental Garbage, but the Talent involved in Bringing this old fashioned story to the screen have made sure that that doesn't happen. What we get is a Perfect Example of Feel Good, Family Entertainment, with a touching story that will get to you. Jerry Bruckheimer knows how to fill a film with a Great cast, and "Remember the Titans" is No Exception. Denzel Washington (also in "Crimson Tide" - another Bruckheimer production) plays a High School Football Coach who has to lead a Racially Mixed Football team to Glory. He makes the character Tough, but Likeable, and he adds yet another Brilliant performance to his Resume. (his list of Memorable Performances must be nearing the length of Robert De Niro's) He is Very Well Supported by the Talented bunch of Newcomers who make up his team. Every one of the Guys give a Wonderful and Touching performance and they all come off like Seasoned Pro's. Will Patton (also in "Armageddon" - another Bruckheimer production) is as Brilliant as ever as the Coach who Denzel takes over from. Will has always been one of my Favourite Supporting Actors, and his role here only makes him Stronger. I Really Expected the film to get Sickly, or Overdo the Racial angle.. I Expected it to be nothing special... Boy was I wrong. It is a Great, Entertaining and Touching film for all ages.

Summary: A memorable movie and DVD....
Review: I first saw "Remember the Titans" in the theater with a group of younger friends, who did not live through the civil rights movement or the uneasy truce that existed through the next 10 years. It was interesting to see their reactions to the chasm that existed on the "battlefield" of the public school system. Although "RtT" doesn't explore the issues of the time in a substantive way, the film makes it easy to believe that the situations were real. The football field action is impressively filmed and the soundtrack is outstanding. Will Patton and a terrific cast of young actors will entertain you and make you believe for the run of the movie. And although some scenes are corny, (every scene that features Coach Yost's daughter!) you find yourself caught up in not only the game, but in what it represents as a centerpiece for a small town or city. I confess that there is no movie featuring Denzel Washington that I don't like! His performance here is solid, and he hides his natural charm well - Coach Boone is not a charming guy! In DVD, the film is enhanced with many special features that are just as entertaining as the movie. I particularly enjoyed the discussion between the two coaches and the items that were edited out of the movie. Not an award winning movie, but definitely a feel-good flick with an edge of some of the hardships that make life worth living. It's great to see such favorable and complex reviews from younger watchers; it makes you realize that the film hit its mark!
