Title: Remember the Titans
Text type: Film
Director: Boaz Yakin
Remember the titans is a film based in the 1970s - 1980s, remember the titans is a film about a high school football team which have just turned into an interracial school. This team decide to go to on a tournament together but as you'll know, it doesn't end very well. The boys split themselves up, into the whites and the blacks. The boys fought with each other and made racist jokes towards each other. But There coach had enough of it and he then decided that if he was to put 2 whites onto a room and 2 blacks into that same room that they could bond together and not hate each other forever.
I can really relate to this movie because this is all i see sometimes. People making racist remarks towards each other. It's aloe better than what it used to be as of the 21st century but in the 20th century whites looked at the blacks as poor and useless. I hate people being racist because in my opinion we are all same on the inside. And we all are the same in general. It was just that 1 difference of skin color that made. For example when they learn that each other are the same Sheryl says this "people say it can't work, black and white, well here we make it work, everyday. We have our disagreements of course but before we reach for hate, always remember we are the titans." This can be seen in 12 years a slave because the exact same thing happens with all the racial abuse and fighting as well as the negativity towards the colored
Today one of the most racist remarks that i always here is about Asians, people make rude remarks by the way they drive and the way they look. But what some people don't realise is that if they were to go to their country they would feel the exact same way as they do. I believe that this relates back to the movie because back then the whites thought of the blacks the exact same way. They thought they were useless and stupid and that they didn't know how to do anything. In the movie 12 years a slave the white owners believed that the only thing they were good for was to make them money. This racial abusiveness is still going around this world to this day. every culture these days have a racist remark towards some kind on country
