While
on
the
surface,
high
school
football
may
seem
like
an
innocent
game
played
by
the
young,
for
the
young,
it
is,
in
fact,
much,
much
more.
For
millions,
including
many
fans
who
are
well
removed
from
their
high
school
years
but
who
love
to
sit
in
those
creaky
bleachers
every
Friday
night/Saturday
morning,
it
is
something
akin
to a
religion.
Director
Boaz
Yakin's
REMEMBER
THE
TITANS
captures
the
heart
of
high
school
football
while
tackling
the
sins
of
its
fathers,
chronicling
the
true
story
of
the
undefeated
1971
T.C.
Williams
team
of
Alexandria,
Virginia,
which
was
the
first
integrated
high
school
team
in
the
state.
Denzel
Washington
brings
his
ever-powerful
presence
to
the
role
of
coach
Herman
Boone,
who
is
brought
in
to
oversee
the
transition
to
integration.
Though
Boone
is
eventually
successful
as a
coach,
the
townspeople
dissaprove
of
him
because
he
replaces
the
popular,
entrenched
former
coach,
Bill
Yoast
(Will
Patton).
At
first,
coach
Yoast
resents
being
supplanted,
while
coach
Boone
is
told
that
his
promotion
was
just
for
show--to
help
the
integration--and
that
he's
likely
to
be
lifted
if
the
team
loses
a
game.
Will
the
coaches
and
players
be
able
to
overcome
their
adversity
and
make
T.C.
Williams
a
beacon
for
integration
in
sports?
Those
viewers
who
follow
history
already
know
the
answer.
But
REMEMBER
THE
TITANS
portrays
the
story
and
delivers
the
inspirational
result
with
a
passion
and
glory
that
will
warm
the
hearts
of
all
those
dedicated
high
school
football
fans
who
continue
to
bring
pride
to
the
sport.
