It is one of those films that makes you inspired to be a better person, to think more of others than yourself. It is the story of T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria Virginia and of a football team that learned how to overcome prejudices. In doing so they learn the true meaning of brotherhood and teamwork.
If you are looking for a film that will touch your heart, Remember the Titans is it. It teaches about the ignorance of racism,and goes on to teach that brotherly love can overcome even the hardest adversities.The film stars Denzel Washington as Coach Boone, a strong willed coach that expects only the best from his players.
Will Patton also stars as Coach Yoast, a Coach that has 15 winning seasons but who is also very stubborn in the beginning. Both are also wary of the integration of the students because they feared racial tension. After one of their best players, Gerry Bertier is injured in an auto accident, it brings the Titans closer together even more.
They are more than a football team, they are a family. In spite of every difference they have, all previous animosities are forgotten. They are out to show people that it's not the flesh and blood that matters, it's the heart and soul.
My dear readers, Remember the Titans is one of my favorite films of all time. If you've seen it you know why, if you haven't yet and you do see it, you'll totally understand. Go check it out and thanks for reading.
