Remember the Titans

Remember the Titans”

“Remember the Titans” was an excellent movie. Although the plot was obvious, it details a period of racism that was difficult to overlook.

First, the movie shows how change is necessary to keep relationships. If someone is too full of pride to admit that they are wrong, then they will feel growing malice towards the one who is right. The movie had a great example. When Gary had to cut Jerry because he refused to accept that blacks are equal to whites. This shows how racism can affect relationships.

Second, the movie shows why people act the way they do. I think they did a great job in showing how people are taught growing up affects their ideas on a topic with the little girl. Watching how she reacted throughout the movie really showed how much it really matters. She never looked down on the blacks because they were black. I think this is because her father, the coach, always taught that whites shouldn’t oppress blacks. I think this idea caught on in her because of the way she acted with them. She was never mean to them or in any way showed hate towards the blacks.

The scenes were well planned and the costume fit the time period. The vehicles, the jerseys, cars, the homes portrayed in the film was reminiscent of the 60’s and 70’s civil rights period. The shorts skirts and hairstyles fit the decade as well. The camera angles during the football games appeared very real.

Although I enjoyed the film, it had its dead points. The bus trip scenes did not add any significance to the overall moral of the story. The love stories were very boring.  

This movie shows the struggle between the two sides to obtain a state of mutual happiness. It also shows how each side was criticized for it. This is a great movie to show how the human spirit can endure when people are set on making things right. I enjoyed most of the film. Therefore, I recommend you see it.
