Great Movie, Somewhat Exaggerated

Rating: 9/10 (28 September 2014)

Remember the Titans is and always will be one of my favorite films. The writing, the acting and the soundtrack all contribute to the success of the film. I loved the fact that it is based on a true story, because I felt even more attached to the characters. But like all "based on a true story" films, there were some inaccuracies in the story.
I found out that the friendship between Gerry and Julius was not as strong in reality as it was in the film. Some dates were way off, there were many anachronisms in the rules and references, and some characters (Ronnie Bass in particular) were portrayed wrong. Nevertheless, I loved this movie. If you are someone who watches films based on their historic accuracy, Remember the Titans probably isn't for you. If, however, you are someone who loves motivation, humor, drama and happy endings, you'll love this movie.
