The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
All sports drama films tend to hold their worth in their ending - win or lose and this dynamic must prevail. A comparison can be made to another 'true story' film, Gridiron Gang (2006). Both films are manipulative, set against orchestral and heart strings. Both have a social message, a rah rah rhetoric, and are well produced with their hearts in the right place. The Titans of 1971, is a little more ham-fisted and predictable; the Kilpatrick Mustangs in 1990, as reforming criminals, is less hard hitting but less pretentious. But, intolerance and corruption lingers and intimidates at every turn in Remember the Titans which is why it is bound to have broader appeal.
In my opinon the actors play well. This film is well made because football is well represented. The racism is present but the player become friends over time to become a team weld. The direction is well done. the plot of the film is presented because we don't know when they become friends and win or lost the cup.I did not like when they kissed in the locker room.
In the movie Remember the Titans we learn about the racial dispute between black and white in 1971. The story shows us that we are all humans no matter the race but the ability to succeed in life no matter what we look like: we all have the same capacity to be successful. Now we may think the problem doesn't affect us, but again we are at the same point they were: we don't want others because they are different, they think differently so we have the right to segregate them. https://pensarparaserfeliz.wordpress.com/2017/05/13/aint-no-mountain- high-enough/
This is a good film with a lot of good uplifting music but like all Disney films it is highly sanitized and joyful. Its set in the early 70's in Virginia, and yet the only racial slurs used where "coon" and "boy" both derogatory racial terms for blacks, but still not truly how it would have been back then. That is the problem with Disney is that they try to make every film super clean and G-rated to get the widest audiences but they often forget how to keep it true and realistic to the time and place that it is supposedly taking place. And to top it off, having to compress it into a regular time allotment for a film they sped up the parts of training in which the people actually did bond and become close, but that took most of the training camp for them to do not over night.
