تذكروا التايتانز

I decided to go to Remember the Titans with some friends. I had nothing better to do, and the movie seemed in-offensive. I ended up enjoying it. What movie that had totally gorgeous 20-somethings playing high school students is all bad? I was partially wrong. After seemingly two hours of male bonding (too much testosterone for my taste), that included singing along to EXCELLENT tunes from the 70's I was ready to throw up. I stopped retching, however, when Sunshine (the totally hot hippie transplant from California) kisses one of the teammates, starting another fight. An excellent preformence from Hayden Something, who played Sheryl Yoast.

The film is Remember the Titans. I won't remember the Titans forever, but I will remember the scenes. Denzel Washington (as always) pulls together some great acting for this film, as a coach who is part of a team of great athletes who must win, or he's out of a job. But it's more about football, it is also about race in the south and about acceptance. At the end of the movie I felt feeling good. Maybe not great but good. And that's what a film like Remember the Titans should do. Make me happy to see a good football/dramedy with Washington at the helm. A-

i remember going to h.s. football games with my aunt,, Pennsylvania is a very big football state also. this movie sorta brings back how the feeling was on a cold dark Friday nigh.. Denzel and Will played very well off of each other.. Will originally has the job in 1971 but racial tensions are high, and the board feels they need to put in a black coach,under immense pressure from the state.. enter Denzel,, he is a hard coach,, making the some of the players resent him at first especially the white players who fear they will lose their starting jobs to black players. there are no clan representations in the movie, but a brick does get tossed through the black coaches window.. all in all it is a very heartwarming movie with a lot of nice touches.
