光辉岁月

About Remember The Titans

It was an encouraging movie based on a real story happened in 1971. In 1971, a court order forces three high schools (two white, and one African-American), to integrate their student bodies and faculties for the first time. Because of that, Bill Yoast, the longtime head-coach in T.C. Williams high school football team, had to quit his job or became an assistant coach. The team added a half of black players and needed a black coach. As a result, Herman Boone, a distinctive black coach, became the head-coach of this football team, and Mr. Yoast became an assistant coach. Firstly, the white and black guys always fought against each other, but later, after a special and extremely tough camp, they started to be a real team. They were harmonious and extraordinary in that time, but the amicable relationship between the white and black players seemed hard to be accepted by other people. Finally, they used their perfect grade, the state championship, to be a soul leader of the integration.
        I like this film and I don’t know which part I like most exactly. I have to say I like the whole film. I like Yoast’s little girl named Sheryl. She loved her dad so much that she kicked the man who came to tell her father somebody would take his job. She was so lovely.~~ I am fond of Coach Yoast, because he gave up the opportunity of entering the Hall of Fame in order to get the game victory. He was always playing a key role in the games, especially when the Titans were almost defeated, like showing up the judge’s cheating. I love Coach Boon, too. Though he was kind of mean to his players, he was mean equally to everybody. He was confident, even a little bit vain. When he first met Mr. Yoast, he said he came to win and he would be the head-coach. But he was really great, because he did it. I also enjoy the parts of team members. Julius and Gerry, they could lead the whole team well and played an important part in the bond of two sides. Besides, I was impressed so much on their firm friendship. Petey and Lewis were also appreciated by me because they made the team vigorous and energetic. What’s more, I like their special style of entering the football field, I like their making fun on each other, I like their dancing and singing and so on. In a word, everybody in this team was great and the whole film made me warm-blooded!
        “Alice, are you blind? Don't you see the family resemblance? That's my brother.” It was said by Gerry. At that time he got to be paralyzed for a car accident and Julies walked into the patience room while the nurse said “only kin’s allowed in here.” Gerry called Julies brother and then smiled. That segment totally touched me. Gerry was a great football player and was the captain. Being paralyzed was considered as a huge disaster. It meant the end of his football life. But what surprised me most was that he was even able to play jokes. He said the family resemblance existed between him and Julies. He took Julies as a brother. It reminded me of the terrible situation when this two guys firstly met. They were quite indifferent and felt disgust to each other. At that time, no one was able to imagine their relationship later. Because Julies was a black people, Gerry’s mother banned Gerry to go out with him, also, Gerry’s friends, including his girlfriend, were opposed to his new black friends. In that period, discrimination was still rooted in some white people. So in this aspect, the friendship between Gerry and Julies was quite amazing. I really wish they could “get old and get fat together.”
        
Here are some examples of how they changed.
        When Coach Boone first visited Coach Yoast, little Sheryl opened the door and rejected him immediately. But later, after getting along with him for a long time, she started to compromise. She even went to Coach Boone’s house talking about the football team with him.
        When the first day Coach Boone’s family moved there, the neighborhoods discriminated him as if the black family would disgust them. But later, Titans won several games, and Coach Boone won a lot of reputation. They gave a warm applause to Coach Boone when he turned back home. They started to respect this family.
        Gerry’s girlfriend was one of the impressive roles in this film. At the beginning, when Gerry told her that he had some black friends, she was astonished because in her mind, color was strong enough to divide friends. She thought they were living in a totally different world and they would never cross the line determined by color. However, she finally realized that it was her own fault. The society was changing. In the last game, she also came to the football field to cheer the Titans.
        What can be learnt?
As far as I am concerned, the most important thing can be learnt from the organized sports is the cooperation. In the last game, the State Championship Game, when Titans was going to lose, Julies said to Coach Boone, “I am not perfect, and I will never be. None of us are, but the team is perfect. ” Football is a team work, it needs everyone’s effort. There are many different positions in games. In this movie, it has the quarterback, halfback, running back, wide receiver and so on. Someone belong to offence and someone belong to defence. Having a good cooperation is the key to win. The other thing can learn is, being confident. In a team game, every player must have confidence in teammates and also in himself. And the last one is, never give up. A dream will not end until you stop trying. In a game, every second should be grasped till the ending whistles. Don’t give up, and you will succeed.

从先起就喜欢Denzel Washington这个奥斯卡影帝了,这样一部反种族歧视的影片感觉就是为他量身定做的一样,情节励志感人,实在是一部难得的励志影片,看后真是非常激励人
强烈推荐...
我看的是导演剪辑版,不知道和普通版有何区别,所以只针对导演版
ps:小女孩粉可爱,加上搞笑,活活,竟然有人因为这说她假,太成熟,汗一个先....

如何去了解与自己不同的族群，与之相处，彼此尊重，团结一心。p.s.如何与他者相处——主体间性问题。p.p.s.每个人都有自己的光辉岁月，如果有幸与一群战友，同进退，共甘苦，挥汗流血，同克筚路，最终得以抵达桂冠的光耀之巅，何其美哉！何其壮哉！此可为：一个人，一群人，一生之风云激荡的不竭之源！

我是一个不怎么看球赛的人，这场电影应该和我八杆子打不着。
百度美式足球的规则介绍时，一个sb说，看看这场电影就能了解，
然后再优酷中点开了这场电影的链接。

球迷的狂热、球手的拼搏、换衣间的粗口，我以前很少注意这个，因为没一件在我的生活中出现。突然，这些行为都这么的可爱，我也会成为球场边呐喊的人。

这片子有好几个中文翻译名字，都不是直译，相比下感觉光辉岁月这个名字更为贴切。
如果你是一个热爱运动的男人，你就会喜欢这片子，如果你是一个热爱自由的人，你也会喜欢这片子，如果你是个信奉人人平等的人，你也会喜欢这片子。我三点都占了，所以我毫不犹豫给了五星，Gary出车祸那段，我眼眶湿了，看到一伙人在球场上齐心协力我也沸腾了。
每每看这样励志的运动影片，我就很有马上出去打篮球的冲动，也许花在打篮球上的时间我用在读书上我会上更好的大学，有更好的工作，但我从不曾后悔，因为篮球带给我的东西不是这些所能比拟的，当和队友在场上挥洒汗水的时候，我根本不会注意周围的任何东西，我的眼里只有篮球，球框，队友还有对手，现在打球可能更多的时候只是娱乐和休闲，更多的只是个人表现而非真正的一个team，怀念那些个打比赛的时候，虽然只是学校里的比赛，虽然大家连半职业都不是，虽然没有扣篮，没有聚光灯，没有统一的球服，but that's our game,not play,it's the real game.
不管算不算光辉岁月，我一样怀念那疯狂打球的时光，永远铭记在心。

   每个人都有生命中值得铭记的阶段吗?属于我们的光辉岁月是什么？一生中有这么一段让你全力以赴，热血沸腾的时光，就已是上天给你的最大的恩赐。不管这条路你是否会继续走下去，也不管你会不会继续这一段辉煌，不管将来你会变成怎样的人，有怎样的前途，以何种形式结束。你会铭记泰坦教给你的：团结、拼搏、宽容、公正！你会记得白色的泰瑞黑色的朱利不分彼此，记得他们说：我们要一起变老变胖。
