Product Description:
In 1971, two Virginia high schools (one black, one white) merge into one. When an African-American man is chosen as the football coach, tension plague
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

Finally a movie that's heart warming and feel good all roled up in one. Denzel did a good job in this movie and to me was oscar worthy. A great picture.

You know the sports formula: team fights for the championship despite all of the roadblocks ahead of them. Well, despite its simplicity, we still love it for what it is. Sports films like this one, Remember the Titans, make us feel good about life and sometimes competition. Titans certainly has a unique way of repeating this particular formula. The film is set in the early 70's when black and white are still divided. Here, it's about unity and respecting each other despite our differences. Even though ... Read More

"Remember the Titans" is a film that deals with segregation. What I like about it, is that it did not just focus on one perspective, it shows both sides.
The film is about a (all-white) football team, that gets a new football coach (Washington) Due to the towns segregation of African-Americans. Without giving away any spoilers, the film is about Coach Boone trying to get both Blacks and Whites to play together on the same field, and respect each other off the field.
Overall, "Remember ... Read More

Remember the Titans is a great movie. It is heartwarming to see the coming together of a town separated by segregation. The town is brought together when the schools white football team is joined by a black football team from a different school. The two teams do not get along at first but when they go away for training camp, they become one as they mesh together. This movie is great to watch because of the touching message and the heart breaking end.
