Themes of Slavery and Discrimination of Race in the Film Remember the Titans
A relationship is like a necklace; it doesnt serve its function if you dont connect the first 2 from each end. But then again it will not serve its function if 1 link in the middle is weak and breaks. Remember the Titans shows a setting where exactly that happens, the white players do not want a part of the black players on their team and vice-versa. It was going to stay like that until a decision on the school board was made that there would be a change of the head coach. The new coach was not a racist thus giving everyone the same treatment, no matter black or white.
Do you have to be acting, behaving, look like, etc. the way others want you to be? If you were with the girl/guy that you dreamed of your whole life, would you care if the rest of the world thought that there is something wrong with that person? Remember the Titans, is a move about lifes lessons that had a harsh effect in the past and left an ignorant scar on all. The movie shows how the times of slavery and discrimination of race left a scar on people in this new era.
The movie was produced to teach people that all could only get better with change and if all are given the same and equal rights. Display of how one football team first refuses to be integrated with black players, even if that could bring some new talent to the team.
