Cast of Titans

Remember the Titans (2000)

Directed by Boaz Yakin this film based on real events stars Denzel Washington, Will Patton, Wood Harris, Ryan Hurst and Donald Faison. In the early 1970s a black football coach seeks to bring together white and black players at a newly integrated highschool.

It seems that this film is generally accurate to real events although at times it fabricates or over emphasises certain events but it gets the general thrust right. The story is well told if fairly basic and while it may get a little melodramatic at times it is not overly preachy. What is best about the film is the great young cast that has a lot of depth in the supporting roles.
