What I learned from "Remember the titans."

Rating: 7/10 (9 July 2014)

The main theme I concluded from the movie is the ability of a sport to make a substantial difference in people's lives in a community or a team. Race is indifferent, in order to succeed one must set aside differences like race, creed and ethnicity. The main advantage of setting a specific goal in a team is that each individual sets aside trivial and minute differences and everyone meshes together under one common objective, which is achieving the set desired goal. To be a truly remarkable team, each member must have faith in the ability of his fellow members, be comfortable playing with them, be honest about how they feel and most importantly respect them for who they are and from where they are. Difficulties arise, fights happen and misunderstandings occur, but overcoming those and rising head held high, is the ultimate triumph. The staff and coaches must also have a mutual rapport among themselves; they must be willing to make sacrifices and protect their team from all sorts of animadversions. Prejudice results from lack of understanding and in order to overcome that, one must first approach and understand the life and hardships of the other, in order to possess the power to decide to become their friend or another just a passer-by.
