In the movie, “Radio” by Michael Tollin, internal and external conflicts are revealed. First of all, a big conflict in Radio’s life is the fact that he is mentally disabled. It causes many problems in his life and he can’t do a thing about it. This is probably the main reason that he is bullied. In the beginning of the film, Radio comes across a football practice and when the ball goes near him he keeps the ball, because of this the next day the football team ties him up.

‘Remember the Titans’ is a film based on the actual events of newly appointed African-American coach Herman Boone, his assistant coach Bill Yoast and their high school team ‘the Titans’ during their first season as a racially integrated team. These events took place in Alexandria, Virginia during1971. The film discussed how attitudes can develop and change with time and also how negative attitudes can be formed or diminished.

It was a volatile situation at first, with constant tension and frequent verbal and physical fights. The coaches (one black and one white) insisted that the team would fail unless they became unified. Similarly, the book discussed the way that businesses will fail unless those from different backgrounds learn to embrace their diversity and participate effectively with one another. To breed unity, the coaches made the players sit on the bus with and room with a member of the opposite race. They also threatened four practices a day unless each teammate learned a significant amount about their roommate’s family, background, etc.
Sam Rall Remember the Titans Remember the Titans is a film set in Alexandria, Virginia during the year 1971. Directed by Boaz Yakin the film follows a school, T. C. Williams that was the first to be racially integrated. This caused a great deal of conflict between the races, and the film depicts how a football team can bring together two races and create the unity that is displayed later. The film tackles themes such as both inter and intra racial racism as well as the way a town can come together. Yakin uses techniques such as camera angles, dialogue, music, and relationships to create a strong emotional tie between the viewers and the film.

Brittney Smith Dr. Fullman English Comp. 1 9/21/15 “In Virginia, high school football is a way of life, it’s bigger than Christmas day.” This is a quote from my favorite movie “Remember the Titans.” It takes place in nineteen seventy one and it’s severely segregated in Alexandria, Virginia; and TC Williams High School is now being integrated. To make matters worse, the new head coach is a black man, something that the town frowns upon; and the team is full of resentful players, both black and white. The team mates do not like each other and neither do any of the people in the town or school, which brings a greater division on the field. In the midst of the hate and change, the players are all stationed at a football camp that is meant to bring them together
However, Hatch's men were disorganized, rowdy, and unprepared for the move. One company threatened to desert on its way to San Antonio .

I can relate to him because he is a white male and I am a white male. He is a high school football coach and that is what I want to do, coach high school football. In the movie he is a guy who lives with his daughter and it is just them two. For a lot of the movie, he thinks that is enough and all he needs. Then he realizes that times are changing and he needs to change with them and he does.
