Remeber the Titans

This is by far one of my favorite football movies, and ABC family have a double shoot of it on tuesday! This "Based on a true story" in the 1970, in Alexandria Va. This film is very inspiring and a great one to watch with a family. The music is awesome and really fits the time line. The Flim images really capture not only football but how people struggled with Race back then.

3 high schools were forced to intergrate (2 white and 1 balck), their students and staff and become one high school. As a result in that, the head coach of one of the white school (Coach Yoast) was asked to step down, in his place of head coach, a black man (Coach Boone) would take his place. As you can imagine, the white society about had heart attack and hated what was going on. Even the white football players did not want to play. Coach Boone offer Coach Yoast a coaching job, and after a few days he takes the job. The coach take the boys to a 2 week camp and works them to death. He pushes them hard then they have ever been pushed before, and shows them that they may not have the ame color skin, but they are the same.This Team would be set apart from the others, because they are the only intergrated team in their region. With this, they could either be held back or over come it and become a strong team. At first, noone was getting, but Coach Boone gave them no other choice but to be friends. He set the rooms up, 1 black and 1 white. Although race is th big issue, there is one gay guy in the mix , sunshine, who moves to Va from Cal. He is the quarterback for this team, but people still give him the respect he deserves! When camp is over, the boys return to their families and home towns to see that the riots against blacks and whites is still going on. Even some of the familys are not liking how close the boys have gotten. But the relationships they made during camp amongst th boys stay strong. Football season starts, and they started winning everygame. Although after a winnig a big game, everyone is celebrating and having a good time. Gary, one of the starting players was very badly injured in a car accidnet, and would never be able to play a game again much less walk. While in the hospital, he only wants to see one person. And that is one of his black team mates who had become like a brpther to him. Eventhough Gary was would never be able to walk again, he still watched every game and pulled for his team. The Titans won Champion ship that year. The Movie ends with the football team reuniting at Garys Funeral 10 years later.

This Movie has always been one of my favorites, i remember watching it in theathers with my parents and thinking how crazy it must have been to live back then. If you havent sen this movie i really suggest you do!
