An overview of the movie

Rating: Null/10 (16 October 2011)

Remember the Titans is a movie about a football team and its struggle through the integration of the black and white schools. The movie displays the racial tension between races in the south at that time. In the beginning of the movie the black and white players do not respect each other. The coaches have their differences as well. Through their training camps and season they realize that they have more in common than they thought. The players begin to bond and figure out that they can be great if they work as a team. There are many unfair rules that the black head coach played by Denzel Washington faces. One of these include that he will be fired if he loses a single game.
This movie has good acting and a strong message. There are many arguments between players or coaches that get you thinking. You're not sure which side is the correct one and in some cases they are both valid arguments. The only problem I had with the movie was the football game play scenes. They were slow passed and didn't look realistic. The plays didn't get you fired up because of their lack of intensity. Overall the movie was enjoyable to watch and left you with a good feeling about societies ability to overcome adversity.
