Awesome movie

Rating: 10/10 (12 October 2018)

"Remember the Titans" tells the story of a high school in Alexandria, Virginia and its football team. In 1971, coach Herman Boone is hired to coach the school's football team at T.C. Williams High School, a school integrated black and white students. Boone is faced with many obstacles throughout the season mainly the rising of racial tensions between his football players. Boone became head coach and coach Bill Yoast got the assistant coaching job. Yoast was the former head coach the year before. Yoast at first refuses to coach but his white players say they'll quit the team if he does not coach. Throughout the movie, there are great visual scenes between black and white players that ultimately reach toward the goal of ending racial conflicts and discrimination. During the season, coach Yoast is told that he will be inducted into the Hall of Fame after the Titans lose one game implying that he wants Boone fired because of his skin color. This was one of the bigger conflicts throughout the movie. During the season, Yoast sees the chairman in the stands and realizes that they've rigged the game for Yoast to get the Hall of Fame induction and Boone out of the head coaching job. The Titans have a storybook ending and go on with the season undefeated and they win the state championship as Gerry Bertier is paralyzed from the waist down watching the game from the hospital. The relationship between Gerry Bertier, a white team captain returnee, and Julius Campbell, the black leader of the team per say plays a big role in the integrating of the team and fighting through the obstacles between the races. There a lot of great scenes between the two actors but you'll have to watch the movie to find out all of these instances leading to the teams success and legacy. "Remember the Titans" is a great watch because of the talented acting by a few actors in the movie.
The movie "Remember the Titans" is based on a true story although it has many added scenes to show the viewers a better representation of how life was during this time. Although this is not completely the true story, it's a great movie to watch. The character play by Denzel Washington as Coach Boone is award winning and eye opening. Coach Boone is faced with all kinds of different struggles throughout the movie, with his family, team, and the community. How he reacts to all of this is why it's a must watch movie. People and reviewers say that he got to play Martin Luther King Jr. And Vince Lombardi in one character in the historic movie. His dedication and drive to end the discrimination and his ideas and philosophies of a team is deeply instilled into his players, coaches and even the T.C. Williams High School community. Because of the such professional acting by the characters, it outweighs the predictable and cheesy scenes throughout the movie. Denzel Washington is known today as a talented actor and in "Remember the Titans," he exemplifies that and shows that extremely well. The movie opened well in 2000 grossing over 26 million dollars in its first weekend and staying in the top five movies for six weeks straight bringing in a total of over 136 million dollars worldwide. Denzel Washington along with other actors in the movie were nominated to many things and won awards including the Best Actor Bet Award by Washington, Human Rights Award by the Political Film Society and much much more. The actors and actresses are a big role in the movies success and a awesome reason why "Remember the Titans" is one of the greatest if not the greatest sports movie.
Overall I would recommend anyone to watch this movie because of the exceptional acting of many actors including Denzel Washington. This movie teaches and educates viewers as to what was going on during the time of the United States going through racial prejudice and discrimination. Along with those problems, it exemplifies extraordinary philosophies of a team and dedication to having brothers of a different race
