Remember the Titans (Widescreen Edition)

Remember the Titans with Denzil Washington is one of the most stirring movies I've ever seen. If you believe in social justice and you are passionate about sports, this movie is a collector's item (I bought it!). Denzil Washington should have won an Oscar for it. It's a keepsake!

I knew this movie was in trouble right from the opening scenes. Ham-handed direction, stereotypical characters, trite dialog and predictable storyline. Honestly, I was thinking to myself, "Jeez, all it needs is for 'Spirit in the Sky' to start playing". Sure enough...

I kept on watching, though, hoping it would get better.

It didn't.

Remember the Titans starring Denzel Washington I believe is a Disney film so expect a sappy ending but this movie is worth watching. The story deals with racial harmony, I like the message but you feel the producers wanted this film to be as sugary sweet as possible. Washington always gives a solid performance, he's reason enough to give this football film a viewing, enjoy!

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

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.
