Product Description:
THE TRUE STORY OF A NEWLY APPOINTED AFRICAN-AMERICAN COACH AND HIS HIGH SCHOOL TEAM ON THEIR FIRST SEASON AS A RACIALLY INTEGRATED UNIT.
Amazon.com:
With only one major star (Denzel Washington), an appealing cast of fresh unknowns, and a winning emphasis of substance over self-indulgent style, Boaz Yakin's Remember the Titans is, like Rudy before it, a football movie that will be fondly remembered by anyone who sees it.
Set in Alexandria, Virginia, in 1971, the fact-based story begins with the integration of black and white students at T. C. Williams High School. This effort to improve race relations is most keenly felt on the school's football team, the Titans, and bigoted tempers flare when a black head coach (Washington) is appointed and his victorious predecessor (Will Patton) reluctantly stays on as his assistant. It's affirmative action at its most potentially volatile, complicated by the mandate that the coach will be fired if he loses a single game in the Titans' 13-game season. The players represent a hotbed of racial tension, but as the team struggles toward unity and gridiron glory, Remember the Titans builds on several subplots and character dynamics to become an inspirational drama of Rocky-like proportions.
Yakin--whose debut, Fresh, was one of the best independent films of the 1990s--understands the value of connecting small scenes to form a rich climactic payoff. Likewise, Washington provides a solid dramatic foundation (his coach is obsessively harsh, but for all the right reasons) while giving his younger co-stars ample time in the spotlight. The result is a film that achieves what it celebrates: an enriching sense of unity that's unquestionably genuine. (Ages 9 and older) --Jeff Shannon

- "Remember, Forever, The Night They Played The Titans." Great Film From Walt Disney Pictures.
Starring Academy Award winner Denzel Washinton (Best Supporting Actor
"Glory," 1989), this magnificent and inspiring true story from Walt Disney Pictures about the first integrated football team is very well made. In fact, had it not been for Disney, this would have been an R-rated film, as the original script was full of profanity (every third word being the f-word and every fourth word being the n-word). However, the head of Walt Disney Pictures ordered Jerry Bruckheimer (who produced this ... Read More
Rating: - An Unhindered and Inspirational Saga
There's a fine line between horrendously cliché and original, and Remember the Titans flirts artfully with it. Directed by Boaz Yakin, the docudrama goes beyond the story it was based on to spin an inspiring and informative tale. Set in 1971, Remember the Titans takes place in Alexandria, Virginia. Because of the desegregation of T.C. Williams High School Bill Yoast is replaced by African American Herman Boone as head coach and takes a position as assistant head coach. The two coaches, as well as ... Read More

- Remember the Titans: Overthrowing History
Black and White stand together on the field of battle, fighting a war against the racism of the ignorant southerners.The Civil War?No, a football team in a newly integrated town in Virginia.
Remember the Titans starts with racial conflicts in the town, and then shows the progression of different players, like Gerry Bertier (Ryan Hurst) and Julius Campbell (Wood Harris), and of the town as a whole, as the team learns to accept their differences and to get past them.The transformation ...

Rating: - Amazing!
I watch this movie everytime I need a lift-up. I highly recommend it because it includes a great story and the casting could not be better. Unlike most of the current motion pictures, this story is about courage, humillity and looking at others for what they have inside instead of what they look like.
It's a story that can teach us that if we work together as one, everything can be accomplished. You definitely must watch it!
