The Story
"Remember the Titans" is based on a true life story of Herman Boone and Bill Yoast of Alexandria, VA in 1971. The public school board makes T.C. Williams High School the first racially integrated school in the area and assigns Boone (Denzel Washington) the head coach of the varsity football team of what was once a white high school team. The former head coach, Bill Yoast (Will Patton), is nominated for the Virginia High School All-Star Hall of Fame for leading his team through fifteen winning seasons, but is demoted to assistant head coach of what used to be his team. Humiliated by the demotion, Yoast plans to quit and move on, but when all of his players decide to sit the season out as a show of support, he decides that he would not let down his team. Yoast accepts his new position as assistant head coach in order to get his team to play.
Boone takes the entire team to summer football camp in Philadelphia and along the way breaks down the resistance from his white team members. After much discipline, hard practice sessions, and forcing the team members to integrate, the team learns to respect each others' differences and becomes a team. After the football camp, the team comes back to the real world and realizes the world is still deep in racial tension. Will the team remain united and set an example for the town of Alexandria? It's quite inspirational to see this inter-racial bonding and male-bonding unfold in this wonderful screenplay.
As a true story of friendship, team work, loyalty, and overcoming of racial tension, "Remember the Titans" is a very inspirational and uplifting film. It gives me a warm sense of hope for humanity to know that people can overcome their superficial differences, and how some key visionary coaches can be catalysts to such landmark changes. The acting performances are consistently good from all members of the cast, including Yoast's feisty daughter, Sheryl (Hayden Panettiere).
The best thing about the bonus features are the featurettes that show the real-life Herman Boone and Bill Yoast, as they are true heroes of humanity, as evidenced in how they changed the outlook of the town, and how their team members move on to prominent roles in life (beyond football). All-in-all, a very good set of bonus material, particularly for a standard edition title.
Video & Audio
The image quality of this anamorphic widescreen DVD is excellent. The colors are accurate and saturated, while shadow detail is very good. The "Remember the Titans" DVD comes with both Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 soundtracks. Both soundtracks are well balanced and effective. The dialogue is clear and the sound of the on-field tackles are bone-crushingly good.
Recommendation
I highly recommend "Remember the Titans" DVD. Besides being a very uplifting and inspirational film that leaves us feel good about the human spirit, it is the best football-themed movie since "Heaven Can Wait".
