18/11/2022

Remember the Titans is a 2000 film directed by Boaz Yakin, starring Denzel Washington, which narrates the true events of the american T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Virginia.

In 1981, a group of former American football coaches and players attend a funeral. Nearly ten years earlier, in the summer of 1971, at the newly integrated T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Virginia, Herman Boone, a black coach who was supposed to lead the black high school football team, is assigned to the coaching staff under current white coach Bill Yoast, who previously led the white high school and was named to the Virginia High School Hall of Fame.

On August 15, the players reunite and travel to Gettysburg College, where their training takes place. However, through vigorous training and rigorous athletic training on Boone's part, which includes a morning run to Gettysburg National Cemetery a motivational speech: the team achieves racial harmony and emerges a unified team.

Ten years later, Bertier dies in a car accident caused by a drunk driver after winning the gold medal in the shot put at the Paralympic Games. It is the revelead that it is his funeral attended by the former coaches and players, where Julius, while holding Bertier's mother's hand, leads the team in a sad rendition of "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye". Coach Boone coached the Titans for five more seasons, and later retired, and Coach Yoast assisted Boone for four more years, retiring from coaching in 1990.

The film was released in US cinemas on September 29, 2000 and in Italian cinemas on April 13, 2001.

The direction of the Italian dubbing is by Giorgio Piazza, with dialogues by Mauro Trentini, on behalf of SEFIT-CDC.

The film was shot a Druid Hills High School, near Atlanta, Georgia.

The summer internship scenes were filmed at Berry College, Mount Berry, Georgia.

The film's premiere was held at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California.

Remember the Titans (2000) dir. Boaz Yakin. 7.8/10

I would recommend this movie to my friends. I wouldn't rewatch this movie.

Omg at Sheryl being Hayden. Also, Sheryl is one wild kid that I've never seen before. My god at Bertier's injury. and the funeral.

Can you believe being so racist that you spend your time rioting? Can you imagine loving football so much that you overcome racism and homophobia? Imagine supporting your college football team this hard.

Sheryl's relationship with Nicky is fun. Good music.

It's interesting when fights are backed up by the same race just because of race. Because, you don't see in diverse classrooms, anyone really sticking up for anyone for any reason.

Honestly, whenever you see a random cameo being racist, it disgusts me.

« Remember the Titans » – Directed by Boaz Yakin - 2000

Remember the Titans is an American biographical sports film directed by Boaz Yakin in 2000 (who also directed Fresh) and written by Gregory Allen Howard (screenwriter, producer and ex-offensive lineman on his high school’s football team).

Remember the Titans tells the true story of highly acclaimed African-American football coach Herman Boone, newly recruited at T.C Williams High School (Suburban Virginia), in 1971, the year black students were integrated into “white only” schools. He started the year with a team composed of athletes that didn’t accept each other, with white students clearly not welcoming the new students onto the team. Little by little, coach Boone made them understand the absurdity of racial tensions and their need to work together if they wanted to win. He succeeded into creating a unified and winning high school football team, finishing the season with 13 wins and 0 losses.

I truly love this movie because it reminds me of my father, who played American football when he was young and always rented the movie when I came over to see him for the holidays. It was also the first time that I discovered Denzel Washington on screen and was amazed by his outstanding performance. Finally, I recommend Remember the Titans, because I feel like the message always hits harder when the screenplay is based on a true story. It also gives credit to coach Herman Boone, who died 4 years ago. Even if the movie came out 23 years ago, it is still today acclaimed as one of the best football movies ever created.

Remember the Titans will make you cry, laugh, think, and even want to play football.

2. The High Priestess

Left: The Wild Unknown deck Right: Rider-Waite deck

Element: Water

Planet: Moon

Numerology: 2 represents a balance of duality

Keywords: mystery, inuition, divine feminine, subconscious, stillness

Pop culture: Galadriel, Willow (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Luna Lovegood, Raven (Teen Titans), Eve (Walle), Inej (Six of Crows)

Symbols: Two pillars represent duality. B stands for Boaz, the pillar of strength, J stands for Jachin, the pillar of establishment. The veil covered in pomegranates represents the divine feminine and the separation between conscious and subconscious. The scroll they are holding reads "TORA" and is partly covered, symbolizing spiritual law and the fullness of it is only revealed when looking beyond the physical world. The moon at their feet represents the divine feminine and intuition.

Quotes: "Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand." Neil Armstrong; "It is through science that we prove, but through intuition that we discover." Henri Poincare; "You affect your subconscious mind by verbal repetition." W. Clement Stone; "Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen- that stillness becomes radiance." Morgan Freeman

If the Magician is a call to action, the High Priestess is a call to be still. This card is all about the subconscious and the spiritual realm. When I first looked at the card, I thought the High Priestess looked kind of scary, but I think they are just serious and powerful. I love their flowing blue robe that looks like water. I learned the other day that water sometimes symbolizes healing and I connect the high priestess with spiritual healing. The card tells me it is time to be still for a moment and look inside myself. It's time to meditate and ponder spirituality and figure out how I can connect to my magick more.

As part of my study, I use the Tarot Card Meanings Workbook by Brigit Esselmont, biddytarotcard.com, brainyquotes.com (I use the card’s keywords to search for quotes that speak to me), Pinterest to look at other artistic interpretations, and Between the Worlds podcast.

Remember The Titans (2000), dir. Boaz Yukin

[marshallwoller]

“Remember the Titans” is a movie based on a true story from the 1970’s about a football team in Alexandria, Virginia. The plot stems from multiculturalism as racial integration of the football team are the main focus of the movie. Two high schools emerge together that were once segregated. This causes quite a bit of tension as both white and black players butt heads. The new head coach is a hardheaded and intelligent African American man played by Denzel Washington. As viewers, we watch as racial prejudices evolve and how each team member learns to deal with this conflict over time. To play successfully as a team, they must work past their preconceived notions of each other and see each other as equals. As teammates. This is significant as it can also resemble a macrocosm of the United States learning to deal with desegregation during this time in history. The film represents the importance of unity and teamwork through the face of adversity and diversity.[i]

The Dis Insider, September 29, 2020, https://thedisinsider.com/2020/09/29/remember-the-titans-review-20-years-later-a-timeless-masterpiece/\. Accessed July 19, 2023.

The movie sparks a conversation about race, ethnicity, and cultural diversity because it showcases the struggles and glory of a time of desegregation in America. Based on a true story, this movie reflects on the conflict and the defiance of racial issues in America during this time. The movie portrays the prejudices of both white and black people have towards each other. This could even be the case today. Racial struggles in some way or form will always exist but to prevail over them is a story of glory and respect. The film shows how humans working together in teams towards a shared goal is one of the best ways to learn more about each other and to find meaning in diversity. Teamwork can bridge racial gaps, especially when a strong sense of leadership is present. In the film, Boone (the head coach) is a role model that guides everyone to not only put up with each other, but to bond through training, pain, suffering, and glory. Over time each player experiences a sense of personal growth through the trials, tribulations, and success of racial desegregation. The film overall addresses significant and true events that our nation experienced in the mid 20th century.[ii]

Remember the Titans (2000)

Humankind has not been the best of the animal kingdom. We have waged wars on one another for every reason imaginable, and not all those wars involve firearms. But with every battle is the emotional war, and Boaz Yakin highlights one of those emotional/societal wars in Remember the Titans, choosing to look at racism in the small environment of an American high school football team.

Now, I just want to begin with saying I cannot every fully understand the level of racism anyone receives. I will admit to being privileged in that department even though I am an ethnic minority. So, if I say something totally off, ignorant/rude, or offensive, I’m sorry.

In my post about Jon Favreau’s Iron Man I raved about the excellent execution of show-don’t-tell. In Yakin’s film it’s a bit of show-and-tell. When you set up a period piece, you have to tell what the situation is, but it’s overlaid with such emotional power moments that the tell is just a prompt and the show is a harkening for understanding.

Even now - especially now with Covid-19 - some people are dividing humankind by race and blaming their situation and directing their anger towards those that don’t look like them. This movie points a finger at the individual, reminding each person to be the difference, to be the one to not give a damn about our differences, and to see your neighbour as your community. 

I cry every time I watch this film at the hope that I feel grow in my mind. They find that they’re all guilty of a little something, but if you’re doing your best to treat your neighbour - nay, your teammate - as your family, then you can win and defeat anything. It don’t matter if what you look on the outside or who you’re attracted to; what matters is you come to play to win for yourself, your neighbour, and your community.

Remember the Titans shows us that the antagonist isn’t always a person. Sometimes it’s life itself. It’ll throw all the bricks, hurdles, and whatever else it got at you, but it’s up to each person to decide whether to take it laying down or to get up and be strong!

All I want to say is that you can think anything that you want, believe in anything that you want, but treat everyone with the respect you expect to be given to you. That doesn’t mean you have to like someone; respect is something that should be guaranteed.

Wood Harris (Julius Campbell) with Ryan Hurst (Gerry Bertier) |Remember the Titans (2000)

In Virginia, high school football is a way of life, an institution revered, each game celebrated more lavishly than Christmas, each playoff distinguished more grandly than any national holiday. And with such recognition, comes powerful emotions. In 1971 high school football was everything to the people of Alexandria. But when the local school board was forced to integrate an all black school with an all white school, the very foundation of football's great tradition was put to the test.
