Download - Remember the Titans - English movie DVD rip
Overview:
Being a former white athlete and coach I am sick of sports movies where the story involves a team eventually winning a championship so I passed this one by when it first
came out. Big mistake!! Like "Hoosiers" this one was an exception and
what an exception. Remember the Titans is in my top five movies of the
past ten years. Denzel Washington, as the coach, gave another of his
consistently outstanding performances.Like "Hoosiers" this is a true
story and it is not just a story about sports but a strong story about
race. I probably appreciated it more than most because of my background
I connected to the movie. During the 1940s I attended schools which
were well integrated and students of different races and cultures
existed harmoniously. To a large degree, it was because the high school
had a very successful football program in which unlike almost all of
the other schools, minority athletes were welcome. In my junior year we
went undefeated and won the State Championship and the team is still
considered the best high school team of all time. The only time the
team came close to defeat was in the State final when we played another
well integrated team.Consequently the community while generally middle
and upper class except for its minorities was well integrated. As a
result although I knew racism existed, I never encountered it in my
community. But then I began to see its ugly head. first, the
All-American end on our team, a superb athlete, was denied scholarships
both to USC and Stanford because neither school accepted minorities. I
had always wanted to go to USC but because of what USC did to my friend
I turned down its offer of a scholarship the next year as I did to
Stanford which I considered a snob school then as I do today.But my
college was cut short when the Korean War began and I was in the
service. I was sent to bases in the South and I spent much of the next
thirteen years in the South witnessing how bad it was for the blacks
and I was involved in the civil rights movement in the South which got
me into a lot of trouble with my military superiors.During my tours in
the South I became head coach of a football team at a Southern base.
Filled with ex-collegiate stars and some pros, we regularly played
Division I colleges and universities. However, because I had black
players on my team I couldn't schedule games with any white southern
colleges. Instead we scheduled one black college and several state
universities in the mid-west.Some critics have compared the summer camp
at which Washington as Coach Boone brought the blacks and whites
together as a team as like a Marine Boot Camp but everyone missed the
subtlety of this. I went through Boot Camp at a time when the military
was just integrating and we had southern blacks and whites as well as a
mix of races from other parts of the country in my platoon as well as
all classes. It didn't take very long for us to become as one unit. The
first part of boot camp is sure hell and the reason for it is that it
reduces everyone to the lowest common denominator of misery and you
quickly learn that the only way to escape that misery is to work
together. This is just the way Coach Boone made it work.What I liked
about this movie is that it showed how all this played out. Most
moviegoers today are not really aware of how bad racism was in 1971 but
this movie illustrates it well. Even though the movie has a few corny
moments and the actors playing the roles as football players look old
for high school, these faults are minimal and do not detract from the
power of the film.
