Remember the Titans Review

Rating: 10/10 (10 October 2018)

Remember the Titans is a movie that focuses on the racial issues that were going on during that time and the struggles a football team had to overcome to make it to their championship game. Coach Herman (played by Denzel Washington), plays the role of the first African American coach to coach a team with mixed players. He is assisted by Coach Bill Yoast (played by Will Patton), who helps him as his defensive coordinator. I think this is such a strong movie because it gives us a good view on how bad these issues were during these times, and it was based on a true story on the Williams High School located in Alexandria, Virginia. Ryan Hurst (who played Gerry), was the captain of the white part of the football team. Wood Harris (who played Julius), was the captain of the black part of the football team. I think these two characters made this movie because they broke through the racial barrier and take this team to the championship. But most importantly they became best friends. In fact, towards the end of the movie they refer to each other as brothers because they grew that close to each other. Another aspect that I enjoyed so much was the music choice. The music that they put in this movie really brought out an exciting view to the movie.
Overall, I would rate this a 10/10. I think everyone should watch this movie even if they do not like sports because this movie is so much greater than just sports. It is a very touching story of a group of black and white kids creating an unbreakable bond in the form of a football team. Or to better describe it, a family.
