Remember the Titans (2000)

Great Movie

This is a great movie. Even if you don't like sports, it is a good story. Delivery was fast. Completely satisfied. June 13, 2008

Misleading garbage...

Intentionally false portrayal of race relations and Civil Rights in Virginia circa 1970.

I attended high school in Virginia 1963-1964 and the schools were already successfully integrated statewide without incident and without any ongoing conflict. The events the story is based on actually took place in 1962-1963.

I contacted the producers of this movie to question why they knowingly altered history and their response was that people would not feel "connected" to the story if it took place before the 1970s - that it needed to look more familiar. The result is a phony story and a false portrayal of the South unsuccessfully lagging six years behind the actual Civil Rights act.

Complete garbage. May 19, 2008

worth it

I just watched this movie and midway through it I had to stop and do some research. I basically groaned when I noticed that Disney did the film because I do NOT trust disney to ever stick to the facts when presenting anything "based on a true story". I was shocked by what I found.
They didnt stick to all the facts. No suprise. But what DID suprise me was how many they actually did stick with. Sure they took artistic license but at least I didnt have to chuck it as a total work of fiction...and more importantly I think they caught the "spirit" of the story pretty damn well. Unity is possible. Not easy. But possible. And it can produce dramatically good results.

Of course I would have loved the movie anyway since Denzel was in it, lol. Hes always good.

Its a must see movie and although it does get a bit corny here and there overall its a winner. After you watch it go check out the true story behind it. Good stuff. May 13, 2008

Seen It All Before

Denzel Washington stars as a coach brought in to lead a hitherto white high school team, circa 1971, to both victory and racial accord. Well practiced at spinning dross into gold, the actor has enough authority to make you briefly forget the corruption of Gregory Allen Howard's script -- he can clear a frequency for himself amid even the worst static. As one of those black characters who's never wrong, essentially because being wrong would make him human, Washington eases past the thicket of platitudes, slipping by child actors whose scene-stealing tactics would shame Walter Brennan and playing off the rest of the otherwise likable young cast like a seasoned session man tapped to mellow the upstarts.

Erin's review

REMEMBER THE TITANS!


This movie is great. It is about a football team in the 70's or 80's in Texas. They were one of the first teams to have black and white people together. At first the team does not get along but they go though rough times and learn how to get along and become a good team.

I think this movie is a good movie it has a very good moral. It is a good movie for everyone and any ages. I believe that blacks and whites should be treated the same. I think that you should watch this movie and give it a chance.
