too disney...

Rating: Null/10 (6 October 2000)

after viewing Titans recently, i have found that the concept of racism in america is no longer an issue. when films are produced about the overcoming of such a severe piece of american history without creating a sort of intensity about the material, the seriosness of it is gone. titans destroyed the gravity of racism in its classic "DISNEY" depiction of riots and the like. without putting enough emphasis on, in fact, in avoiding these issues in order to keep the movie rating down, disney has downplayed the harsh reality of racism in america. creating a fictional storyland of racism deconstructs all of the work done in Malcom X, The Hurricane, Ghosts of Mississipi and Mississipi Burning. Racism is at least pg 13 material, and to bring it down to a tolerable level for a pg rating, goes against all that this movie supposedly stands for. if we are to remember the titans, why not remember them accurately instead of how disney would have them be thought of.
