| Remember the Titains |
Inspiration, drive, and achievement
really draws me to my all-time favorite movie Remember the Titians. I have loved this movie since the first time
I saw it and since then have watched it three times a year. I get emotionally
involved with most movies that I watch and find that this one really stands out
for me. Being part African American I can understand being looked at
differently. I understand also that at times I may look at people differently
as well. This movie shows how racial barrios can be broken down and brotherly
bonds can be formed that help create a strong “family”. The fact that they are
a very powerful and successful football team add excitement to the story line
and really shows that when you come together as a team good things can happen. Remember the Titians not only shares the
respectable side to break down racial tension but also show the trials that are
often faced. My favorite part of the movie when I really shows true brother
hood is when Gary Bertier (white) is in the hospital and Julius Campbell
(black) comes to visit him. When he walks in the nurse scolds Julius and says “only
kin are allows in here” Bertier replies back with a witty, “….can’t you see he’s
my brother”. Although they were not blood relatives both boys considered each
other “kin”. This example upon many others within the movie really drives the
meaning in the views. Remember the
Titians is about acceptance and friendship. This is why will forever be my
favorite movie.

I really liked how you added that this movie shows how racial barriers, even though they are present, can be broken down. I found your emotional interest in the movie intriguing and when you are emotionally attached to something I think it makes it much easier to fully immerse in the content. I also loved your favorite part of the movie, because that is one of mine too, and it really drives home your points!
ReplyDeleteI liked how you talked about how you feel connected to this movie because there still is racism in the U.S. It may not be as bad as it was in the 1950's but it's around dividing people and drawing strong ethical lines in society. I agree with you how a sense of family can bring people together and make them bond no matter who they are. In addition, i liked how you pointed out a scene that showed the true essences of the movie.
