Remember the Titans is a film made in 2000 and depicts many aspects of racial inequality. Racial inequality can be defined as race-based discrimination in opportunities for things like socioeconomic mobility or access to certain goods and/or services. In the United States, this discrimination can have a strong effect on many aspects of society, such as home life and employment. In America there is still a large gap between Caucasians and African Americans. There are more whites than blacks in this film. In terms of lead roles, there are approximately five black characters and more than fifteen white characters. Although the degree of importance of black characters is quite high, the quantity is still not comparable to that of white characters. Coach Herman Boone is the main African American character in this film. He is a football coach who is hired by the newly diversified TC Williams High School as a form of affirmative action. This character struggles throughout the film with the prejudices of his players, other football coaches, parents, and even the school board who hired him to try to create a winning football team. Another key black character is Julius Campbell. He plays a linebacker who ends up becoming best friends with a white linebacker on the team. He too struggles with the prejudices of some of his teammates and the people of the town due to the team's new desegregation. The remaining black players at TC Williams High School had very similar roles in the film. Petey Jones, Jerry Williams (quarterback), and Blue Stanton are all shown addressing racial inequality from players, citizens, and even other football coaches. The attitudes of......middle of paper......fiery films. I wouldn't say my view of this film has changed, but I would say it has intensified. The whole point of the film was to show the struggles and victories associated with racial desegregation, so that part was pretty obvious. However, now that I can see the subtleties associated with racial inequality, the depiction of inequality is clearer. I believe that the audience this film is trying to reach, beyond die-hard soccer fans, is made up of people who were previously unaware of how big a problem race was within these very small groups of people, like the team of football. The creators want to show struggles that were less obvious, like trying to become a team with people who supposedly don't like you or despise you. I think the actors and creators of this film did a great job of showing the dynamics between blacks and whites.
