Remember the Titans (2000)
[3 - Enjoyed it]Remember the Titans (2000)
I am surprised that the Disney film Remember the Titans (2000) did not receive more attention and acclaim when it was out. I remember avoiding it as yet another "jocks overcome adversity to win one for the team football flick". The movie is more of a "jocks overcome prejudice about diversity to win one for the team football flick". Or if you want to take it a step further, "people come together and build a working team" movie. That is the context in which I saw this movie, my boss at work had us watch it in order to spur some thought around teamwork and team building. I think he chose the title well, the movie was quite good and definitely thought provoking.
It feels a bit like Denzel Washington lacks range, I have come to be able to predict the personality of the character he will play because it always seems to be the same. The personality he projects has such forceful charisma though, that I am not sure this is a bad thing, as it is a pleasure to see him on the big screen.
Don't let the football team of this movie keep you from watching it (like it did me), the movie is really about the players, the people, and not about the game. They even add an effective soundtrack to keep those of us who could care less about football entertained and exited through the games.

it was an alround great film!
