Movie Reviews of Remember the Titans (Director's Cut)
Movie Review: An Unhindered and Inspirational Saga
Summary: 5 Stars
There's a fine line between horrendously cliché and original, and Remember the Titans flirts artfully with it. Directed by Boaz Yakin, the docudrama goes beyond the story it was based on to spin an inspiring and informative tale. Set in 1971, Remember the Titans takes place in Alexandria, Virginia. Because of the desegregation of T.C. Williams High School Bill Yoast is replaced by African American Herman Boone as head coach and takes a position as assistant head coach. The two coaches, as well as the newly integrated football team, at first clash dreadfully. Nevertheless, after a memorable training camp the team rises from its underdog position, integrating not only in body but in mind, supporting each other during tough times, and accepting each other for who they are instead of their race.
Denzel Washington (Herman Boone) is just one member of the astoundingly talented cast that performs in Remember the Titans. The cast effectively manages to distract from the terribly cliché plot and characters- underdogs managing to come out on top, a group coming together, and standing strong against prejudice- and eloquently express the unity, desolation, and triumph of the team. Their performance is accentuated by the amazing soundtrack, an example being that Remember the Titans lets non-football savvy viewers know when the Titans are winning their games by playing upbeat tunes.
There is some tweaking of history, but that serves to enhance dramatic impact and effectively makes Remember the Titans the powerful docudrama that it is. The original Titans won their championship game 27-0, and were in no way underdogs, dominating their opposition to be ranked second in the nation by the end of the season. In addition, Gerry Bertier was actually paralyzed after playing in the championship game. Stereotyped characters like Emma Hoyt, Alan Bosley, and Ray Budds were fabricated for the docudrama, but their existence helped portray the feelings and views of the populace in the time period. These little modifications are inconsequential, though, as the Titans won the championship games in both reality and fiction, the movie Titans have even more pressure to win their game, and many people surely had the same opinions as Emma, Alan, and Ray.
There is no reason whatsoever why one shouldn't watch Remember the Titans. The slight adjustments in the Titans' saga doesn't hinder one's appreciation of it at all; it actually makes one even more inspired by it than if the docudrama had stuck to the actual events. With its awe-inspiring cinematography, themes, and acting, Remember the Titans is a must-see for both movie connoisseurs and unseasoned film watchers.
