I’m sure many of you are familiar with this movie, however if you are not I will provide a brief overview of the plot. Remember The Titans is a true story about a high school football team in Virginia during the 1970s, who became the first team in their conference to have not all white players, and even had an African American head coach. This takes place not long after the civil rights movement and as you can imagine tensions are very high within the team and the community. This movie has lots of examples of injustice as people were not treating the black players or coaches fairly. Referees were biased, the school set unrealistic standards for Coach Boone(the head coach), some local restaurants wouldn’t serve the players, and at first players were mistreating each other just because of race. If you’ve watched the movie you would know the team eventually comes together and rallies behind Coach Boone to form unbreakable bonds in the face of diversity and to finish with a perfect season. However there are still questions of injustice from this movie that can still apply today. Throughout the movie, white people were making unfair assumptions about black people and vice versa. We still unfortunately see this in society today, as people are quick to make assumptions about someone based on race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, religion etc. Identity was a major theme for this movie, as at first everyone had their own identity and were locked into their race, however by the end of the movie the team had one collective identity. I’m curious as to if we can learn from this team/movie and instead of having identity based on skin color, we can unite and have one collective identity. While individual qualities are important, it should be based on personality and not on how we look. To end, I think the point of this movie was to ask the basic question of why we judge people off the color of their skin, and is open to discussion on how we can solve this issue in the future.
