soon intervened by making Michael practice and exercise everyday. He had his first game days later in which he tackled so well one of the opposite’s team member that everyone was shocked. S.J. sent days later the video of Michael tackling the other member to several universities and suddenly everyone was interested in him. But to win a scholarship he needed to have a better GPA, so they hired a tutor for him.
We were the underdogs in this game. They were the best team in the county at the time, because they had a running back that nobody can hit, and they thought they could just run all over us. All that week during practice we were plotting to stop them. This game was an away game so after school that Wednesday we went to the locker room and I got prepared for the game, then we got all our stuff together and headed to the bus. On our way to the Henry County stadium, I was getting focused on the biggest game of my life.
The way to become a leader or to have the skill of leadership is when an individual is an inspiration and a guide to a group of individuals or a person that motivate them to accomplish a goal or goals and must have three characteristics which are fearless, reliable, and focus. In the movie, “Remember the Titans”, a viewer would say that out of the three main characters, Herman Boone, an African American, Gary Bertier, a Caucasian, or, Julius Campbell, an African American, Herman Boone showed the greatest amount of leadership by leading T.C. Williams’ high school football team called, The Titans, to become a team together since the desegregation of Alexandria, Virgina of African Americans and Caucasians, and by leading them to forget their differences as a different race, and being a leader for all the African Americans in Alexandria, Virgina. One may say that Gary or Julius showed the greatest amount of leadership in the movie because they were the captains, but Herman Boone showed the most by becoming the coach of their football team and helping them to become a team. In one of the scenes of the movie, Coach
In the beginning of the movie Remember the Titans, the leadership style that Coach Boone portrayed was an authoritarian leadership. This leadership style was shown at many points in the movie, including just before the pre-season training camp (when the team gets on the bus), and at the pre-season training camp. As the football season progressed, Coach Boone’s leadership style changed. At the beginning of the season, he was an authoritarian leader, but as the season progressed, and the team got closer, he slowly became a laissez-faire leader. This leadership style was shown by Coach Boone in the last few games in the movie.
Couch Carter pushed the boys to be there best and to be the best they had to learn to run a whole game so carter made them to running all the time. If they came to training late he would make them do 1000 suicides and if they said they “N” word they would have to do the same. Doing the suicides made them fit and they could run a whole game and they started winning. Another way carter inspired the boys was with determination they studied then though the gym was unlocked and coach carter retired from coaching because the parents didn’t want him to coach anymore but the players wanted him to be there coach so he coached they team again so it was like he never
In brief, the film is about a Virginia high school in the 1970’s that is forced to admit black students, with a focus on the school’s football team. Denzel Washington plays Coach Herman Boone, the new black football coach, which causes a fury among white parents and students. At the school’s football camp, tension builds between the white and black players, but through Coach Boone’s leadership, the team comes together, and slowly unites the entire community. Prior to football training camp, both the black and white students came with a prejudice and stereotype of the other race, causing much discrimination, as well as verbal and physical conflicts be [pic] |
“Chris's smoldering anger, it turns out was fueled by a discovery he'd made two summers earlier, during his cross-country wanderings... Chris pieced together the facts of his father's previous marriage and subsequent divorce-facts to which he hadn't been privy.” (p. 121) This is not good mainly for Chris and his dad's relationship and also his mom and him. He was enraged at the fact that he was never told and that his dad would lie to him or be deceitful and not tell him about his first family and
In Remember The Titans coach Boone manipulates the students to overcome their ingrained racial distrust and play for each other in the football team. In one part of the movie he exaggerates his childhood to inspire and uplift the new quarterback, “sunshine”: Boone says: “when I was fifteen years old I lost my mother and my father in the same month Ronnie, same month. 12 brothers and sisters I was the youngest one of them, now I wasn't ready either, but they needed me. Your team needs you tonight, you're the Colonel, and you’re going to command your troops!” Coach Paul 'Doc' Hines: “You have twelve brothers and sisters”? Coach Boone: “Eight”.
Up until this point in the film, the low angle shot had been used only on Coach Boone, as he is the natural leader. Whenever he is saying something meaningful and inspirational to pull the team together, such as the scene at the training camp on the site of the Battle of Gettysburg, he is in low angle. By showing Blue in low angle, the director is showing that the young players are rising to the challenge and taking on real leadership roles. This will be important if racial tension is to be dealt
He used the football team as an example to demonstrate the importance of the slogan. He mentioned to David, Brian and Eric, members of the school’s football team: “… you play football. You already know it takes discipline to win”. This showed the class the importance of discipline to achieving success. The school’s football team had not won a game in two years, so this statement held even more importance and grabbed the class’s attention.
