Can this be rewritten in English? What's a "choc" - is it a reference to Washington's skin colour? Secretlondon 17:02, Dec 11, 2003 (UTC)

The soundtrack to this movie is wonderful. The "Titans Score", which is the last track on the disc, is the best score I've ever heard, bar none.~Mike Hackney

This movie has come under intense criticism for rewriting history. I am surprised to see no mention of this issue in the article. Doctor Whom 12:50, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Don't most movies "based on true stories" rewrite history? There are very few--if any--such films that stick perfectly close to actual events; what works as a historical event or news item doesn't always work as entertainment. --FuriousFreddy 14:06, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

just wanted to say that wikipedia is alot of crap

That point has been addressed in Category:Historically inaccurate films, and I believe that Remember the Titans meets the "significant comment elsewhere" criterion given in that category. Doctor Whom 18:40, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

I agree. One of the major criticisms of the movie when it was released was how it portrayed the city of Alexandria, Virginia. It seemed to imply that Alexandria was a small town in south/central Virginia. No mention was made of Alexandria being a major Washington suburb and implied that all of the other schools were all white (eg. Hayfield or Groveton, now West Potomac), despite the fact that they were integrated in compliance with the Brown decision. While it is true that Alexandria was not as diverse in 1971 as it is today, it was, by no means, the city they showed in the movie.--Jsonitsac 19:56, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Outstanding Film

This was an outstanding film. I lived through that era in the Washington D.C. suburbs and the depictions were very realistic. The drama did not need to be fabricated. We lived it every day in school. It was a painful time of birth, but it brought forth a better world.

I saw this film on TV last night. It is by a considerable margin the worst film I have ever seen. Beeromatic 10:25, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

• I agree, it is always on the Tele too, it is all those goddamn preteens and jocks that have a gay crush on this filth, but I would like to no the track listing of the soundtrack

[edit] Military Brat Characters

Something should be mentioned in the article about the two Military Brat characters who played strong supporting roles-- they showed how military kids were way ahead of the integration curve in that era -- and how these two military brats played key supporting roles in moving the team past the barriers of prejudice.

There were many military kids in the D.C. suburbs in that era and I was one-- the military was integrated 25 years earlier than the rest of the United States and so White and Black military kids often played key roles in the struggle to psychologically integrate the Washington D.C. school systems at that time.

The film honors this-- as well as the primary theme of the heroism of the two coaches, and the other Black and White players.

More needs to be said in general about military brats-- numbering more than 12 million Americans (including former and current brats)-- their unusual life experiences-- and the contributions that they have made to this nation.

This film, along with addressing the critical primary theme of school integration in that era, also takes a step forward in showcasing military brats in these key supporting roles-- honoring the contribution of a formerly too-long invisible subculture in the United States.

[edit] Lock for vandalism

Please lock this one for vandalism! I don't know about you guys but vandalizing wiki really upsets me and even more if you can only do it by being racist and sexual.
