For those of you with a sensitive disposition, this movie is for you. It´s a nice movie with a nice story, played by nice people - so basically "It´s Nice". Will we be watching it again, highly unlikely .
This movie is good but it has a lot of bad point: The end is predictable, too many characters and there is a lot of blah, blah. But I would recommend this movie because the story is touching, Remember the Titans is a true story about racism.
8 to me is a good film, especially when the synopsis leans towards the usual Hollywood blackcentric or social commentary. Early on I thought how much more Black good / White bad can I take. Once you've finished with Getttysburg nonsense the idea that rank and file Union / Confederate troops were fighting for or against slavery it settles down to decent viewing.The Whites actually become human, some even showing more sensitivity than Blacks. Must be worth 5 votes in itself :-) Has the usual heavy dose of U.S. touching moments, but the star is the white coach daughter.
That was the spirit of the Coach that led this college team of football players to defy the social stigmas of the time, and to successfully manage the first mix-raced team in the country. It's an eye opener to see that this happened only 2 or 3 decades ago when these days you are more than accustomed to images of teams full of players of every social background. The movie was not so much about the winning than it was about the journey, and as a journey it was an enjoyable one to watch. Also, it's worth mentioning that Denzel Washington is excellent once again and makes every role feel dead simple to him. Whether he is a coach, a lawyer, or corrupt cop, he just nails it every time. Not sure I will watch this movie gain, but it has motivated me to watch more of the same genre. Invincible is next!
