In a year of emotionally empty films, pointless overdone special effects, and mindless poorly written scripts, Remember the Titans is a shockingly intelligent, emotional movie. Noticeably absent is the excess overdone glitter and glam so prevalent in big release films, also missing is the Walt Disney tendency to tone down films and muddy their message to make their content more "user friendly." Yes, Remember the Titans is a PG movie, but it deals with rated R issues in a way that deeply involves the viewer. Repeatedly during the Hobbit's viewing did he find himself clapping and cheering with the audience as the Titans overcame another hurdle in their quest for victory, whether that be themselves, or the outside world. Time and again, the Hobbit found himself on the verge of tears as the team suffered heartache, loss, disappointment, and hatred. Only to cheer again as the Titans are strengthened by their own burgeoning friendships with each other. Denzel Washington is spectacular. Rarely have I ever seen an actor that so consistently turns in a good performance. But surprisingly it is Will Patton, who plays Washington's white assistant coach Atley Jackson who really steals the film. Atley Jackson is a humble man, someone not used to going with the flow, someone who tries to make everyone happy, who seeks the path of least resistance. But for the first time in his life, he is forced to make a stand. Will he stand up for what is right, or will he take the easy path, which leads to personal glory? Against all odds, the Titans succeed. Even though they are separated by the color of their skin, with the help of their remarkable coaches, they see past that, to come together, and bond together to face a world that is totally against them. See Remember the Titans. Live Remember the Titans. But don't go with your girlfriend unless you don't mind her watching you weep like a small child (as the Hobbit did). This is a movie that, if you let it, can change the way you look at life. Who would have thought this could come from Disney?
