One movie that I absolutely love is Remember the Titans. Remember the Titans came out in the year 2000 and was based on a true story about an integrated football team from Alexandria, Virginia. One black school and one white school were forced to integrate and a black coach is made head coach over a very successful white coach. After tensions arise and many hard feelings, the boys finally learned to accept each other. They became the unifying example to the town and community as they acted as a family. They go through the season undefeated and slowly gain support from the community. After winning the state semi-finals, one of the main players, Gerry Bertier, became paralyzed from a car accident. The team went on to win the championship in honor of Gerry. I love this movie because it is very inspiring and entertaining. It shows a story of high school students overcoming racism and segregation during their time and influencing other people to do the same. They also fight to become the best football team and get a lot of support from the community. I like it because I can relate to the team unity which is a very powerful thing. If a team has heart, they can go very far and that is exactly what the Titans had. The movie also sprinkles in some humor so it’s fun and upbeat. I really enjoyed seeing the group of boys becoming a family rather than being stubborn and rejecting the idea. They came together to be the best they could be. This movie never gets old and I continue to love it every time that I watch it.
